Softening ground conditions might have been the undoing of PATERNOSTER SQUARE, who was well supported ahead of his Thirsk debut last month. The son of Invincible Spirit ought to have learnt from that experience, though, and he might be able to take a marked step forward today Stablemate Owl Island is related to some smart types and makes appeal from his low draw, while the Charlie Hills-trained Sugar Hill is another that warrants serious consideration.

DECLARED RUNNERS 8 2022: TARRABB (IRE) 3 8 13 Jim Crowley 10-1 (Owen Burrows) 11 ran

Running for the first time since Gelding No. 1, 3, 4.

Stewards Note: PATERNOSTER SQUARE: Following its run on 22/4/2023 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

SUGAR HILL: Following its run on 22/4/2023 it was reported that the horse hung right handed.

Probable S.P’s: 10-11 Sugar Hill (IRE), 15-2 Owl Island (IRE), 10-1 Profit Given (IRE), Paternoster Square (FR), 12-1 Extinction (USA), 18-1 Xaviera (GB), 22-1 Manila Mist (GB), 25-1 All For Show (GB)

This looks a good opportunity for SUGAR HILL, who built on his encouraging racecourse bow when third at Newbury last month. Profit Given ought to improve from her Southwell debut and warrants respect, whilst Owl Island looks the pick of the newcomers.
