Stewards Note:

ARTEMIS KIMBO: Following its run on 31/1/2023 it was reported that the horse ran too freely early-on.

BLUE BEACH: Following its run on 25/3/2023 it was reported that the horse suffered interference in running.

Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Blue Beach (GB), 5-2 Moviddy (IRE), 6-1 Artemis Kimbo (GB), 9-1 Just Sophie (GB), 11-1 Martalindy (GB), 22-1 Park End Sunrise (GB), 40-1 Nancy Till (IRE), 100-1 Stargazer Belle (GB), 150-1 Flora Paget (GB), 200-1 Artemis Sky (GB)

MOVIDDY finished a fair way behind Blue Beach in a competitive handicap at Newbury last month, but she’s much better off on these terms and is well worth another chance having created a good impression prior to that. Artemis Kimbo can prove best of the rest if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.MOVIDDY
