1.88 LAST CRUSADER (IRE); 3.00 MONSIEUR JUMBO (FR); 4.50 GRIFTER; 8.00 WOOTTON'SUN (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

LAST CRUSADER accounted for a rival with previous race experience when making a winning debut at Ayr a couple of weeks ago and he merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance, despite carrying a penalty. Grifter and Monsieur Jumbo are closely matched based on their meeting at Doncaster earlier in the month, while the 100,000gns purchase Wootton'sun is arguably the pick of the newcomers.

Forecast:

1.00 STAR JEWEL; 3.00 MAKINITUP (IRE); 8.00 CORRA LINN (IRE); 10.00 TALKTOTHEWALL (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

STAR JEWEL beat a decent field when making a winning debut over 7f at Kempton last November and she clearly sets the standard in this contest based on that evidence. Makinitup is another previous winner in this field and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, having scored at Lingfield three weeks ago. The rest look to be up against it but Iyaa is arguably the pick of them.

Preview:

Whatwouldyouknow has to be respected having won here 10 days ago but he could be vulnerable under a 5lb penalty. With that in mind, preference is for WE STILL BELIEVE, who was successful at Hamilton two starts ago and he made the frame off this mark at Haydock when last seen. Others to consider are Mr Coco Bean, Secret Moment and Kentucky Kitten.

Forecast:

1.50 SWEET BELIEVER (IRE); 3.00 A BOY NAMED IVY (IRE); 4.00 BROOMY LAW; 6.00 DIAMONDONTHEHILL; 8.00 SOLLER BAY (IRE).

Preview:

Favourites have won three of the last four runnings of this event and if SWEET BELIEVER goes off at the head of the market, he may well add to that statistic. William Haggas trains the recent Nottingham winner, who made the running before being passed and then battling back to get up close home, and with Adam Farragher claiming 5lb, she could follow up. A Boy Named Ivy should be happier back at the mile after failing to stay over further at York, while Broomy Law could also run well.

Preview:

Three-year-olds tend do well in this race thanks to their weight allowance and that suggests OH SO HOT can get involved in the finish after her second to Bawaader off this mark at Ayr last time. A repeat of that form may be good enough to win this, though Point Of Woods looked to be running into form when seventh at Redcar earlier this month and could be a danger. Tim Easterby tries the hood/cheekpieces combination on Triple Jaye and she might also get involved.

Preview:

LOCKDOWN LASS has been in a rich vein of form and, with Stefano Cherchi claiming a valuable 5lb, she gets the vote to land the spoils. Mereside Pearl took a step in the right direction at Doncaster last month and it would be no surprise to see the unexposed filly progress. Zoom Star has been dropped to an appealing mark and she completes the shortlist.

Transition gave a good account at Sandown last time and remains on the same mark.

She can continue her ascendancy, while My Thought also warrants interest now attempting this trip for the first time.
