Forecasts

Up Ten Down Two (5/4), Ryan The Giant (11/4), Mr Globetrotter (7/1), Maple Stirrup (12/1), Shulammite Man (14/1), Yorkshireman (14/1), Next Edition (25/1), Adrakhan (28/1), Feeltherhythm (33/1), Psychology (50/1), Strikemaster (125/1)

Verdict

Ryan The Giant holds quite a few off these runners on the evidence of his February C&D success, and ought to go well at a track which clearly seems to suit, but whilst he's a live contender, he also looks beatable. Maple Stirrup is also competitive at this track, and the first time cheek-pieces should help her assuming her Musselburgh exertions haven't blunted her speed on the Flat. Feeltherhythm boasts some reasonable Flat form for a variety of trainers and isn't a forlorn hope on just her second Flat start for Chris Grant, but the vote goes to the Mick Easterby trained UP TEN DOWN TWO who has been kept in training by his owners despite a lengthy career break, and if able to recapture his best form from 2012 (over this trip) is on a very dangerous looking handicap mark (58).
  1. Up Ten Down Two
  2. Ryan The Giant
  3. Feeltherhythm
