THE TIMEFORM VIEW MYSTICAL STORM impressed at York last time, faring best of those with a single-ﬁgure draw and brieﬂy leading late on. This unexposed colt remains open to further improvement in handicaps and is selected to land this 7f contest. Panelli disappointed last time but the cheekpieces/return to a sounder surface can see him bounce back, while Arbitration returned to form when third at Musselburgh, doing his best work late High on Hope is another to note starting out for a new yard.

TFRHHHHI BHA74

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful maiden who returned to form when third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (2/1) 24 days ago, his best work coming late despite taking strong hold. Represents leading yard and he’s well worth a second look from handy inside draw.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW HOSTELRY has been in excellent form with ﬁve wins this season and is probably best not judged too harshly on her latest Leicester third given she was seemingly taken off her feet on ﬁrm ground. She looks a live player again and earns the vote over recent Doncaster scorer Jez Bomb, who is another well worthy of consideration. Bernalda and Clear Angel are others worthy of a second look.
