Secret Lightning^v²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 55

16/1

Popped up at 40/1 winning over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in December but hasn't troubled the judge since then off higher marks. Easing in the weights now, but has never convinced at this trip so others are preferred.

Form: 7514-86

Ravenhoe⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁷⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 54| BF

7/4

Won at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month and over a mile at Lingfield earlier this week. Young apprentice has struck up a good relationship with this gelding and is unpenalised for their last win. Chance if recovered from recent exertions.

Form: 6-91241

Sevilla¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: O Murphy| OR: 53

13/8

Yard going really well under both codes with current 27% winning strike rate. Shaped OK in two amateurs' races of late and booking of top jockey now very much catches the eye. Fairly handicapped on pick of form and is interesting.

Form: 4284-63

Outlaw Torn^e/s⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: R C Guest| OR: 52| BF| CD

7/2

Remarkable veteran who has won two of his last five starts including over C&D in January. Often leads, but went too fast for his own good last time. Chance if able to save something for closing stages.

Form: 212157

Joyful Dream²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: J Butler| OR: 51

14/1

Friutrating 21-race maiden who always seems to find a few too good for her regardless of the handicap rating. It looks like a case of more of the same here once again and she is hard to enthuse over.

Form: 8537-04

Norwegian Reward^t⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: L Allan| OR: 45| D

40/1

Veteran whose last win came at Lingfield in December 2012. Absent for two-and-a-half years before returning for new yard last month, well beaten both here and at Wolverhampton. Impossible to recommend on that evidence.

Form: 4494/00

Forecasts

Sevilla (13/8), Ravenhoe (7/4), Outlaw Torn (7/2), Just Fred (6/1), Joyful Dream (14/1), Secret Lightning (16/1), Norwegian Reward (40/1)

The booking of Luke Morris for SEVILLA very much catches the eye, the mare have been amateur ridden on her previous two starts. She has the form to go well in this company with the stronger handling. Recent scorer Ravenhoe is a big danger if recovered from her win earlier this week, while Just Fred has turned over a new leaf recently and another decent disaply is not ruled out. Secret Lighting and good old Outlaw Torn are also in with a squeak if things go their way.
