THE TIMEFORM VIEW David O’Meara’s IN A HURRY got right back on track in a hood when a recent Beverley runner-up and can go one better here at the chief expense of Noble Testimony who also has the form to play a big part but could have to settle for second once again. Believe In Lies can build on her debut fourth at Pontefract and also needs considering along with debutants Tatanka and Blunder.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW LATYNINA really caught the eye when a running-on debut fourth at Carlisle recently and this well-related daughter of Expert Eye looks the way to go with progress very much on the cards Edward Bethell’s Velvet Whisper also resumed with a promising effort when fourth at Leicester and should ensure David O’Meara’s filly doesn’t have things all her own way though. Newcomers Magic Boy and Patricia R appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

PROBABLE S.P.’s 2-1 Maddelina (GB), 9-4 Medinilla (IRE), 7-1 Lorna B (IRE), 16-1 Two Shoes (IRE), 18-1 Commander Atkinson (GB), Lunar Force (GB), Marry The Night (GB), 22-1 Haazeez (IRE), 33-1 Mayberry Moon (GB)
THE TIMEFORM VIEW MEDINILLA continued her progression when winning on first start as a 3-y-o last month and remains open to further improvement returning to turf She’s preferred to Maddelina, who was off the mark on second career start 2 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by the step up to 6f on handicap debut, with Lorna B another potential improver now handicapping.

TIMEFORM VIEW 22/1, excellent second of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 9 days ago, clear of rest. He’s a step ahead of the handicapper off the same mark (due to go up 5lb) and should prove hard to beat.

Visor worn by No. 6. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 7. Stewards Note: CHUTI MANIKA: Following its run on 3/5/2025 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.
PROBABLE S.P.’s 6-4 Arabian Cobra (IRE), 15-2 Azuinthejungle (GB), 8-1 Chuti Manika (IRE), Blue Seeker (IRE), 11-1 Monetize (GB), 12-1 Beaujolais Nouveau (GB), 14-1 Ann Terry (GB), 16-1 Miss Hathaway (GB), 66-1 Laurens Dream (GB)
THE TIMEFORM VIEW ARABIAN COBRA remains a maiden following 13 attempts, but he is taken to put that right here on the back of a cracking recent effort at Hamilton where he was just touched off The combination of the return to turf, this trip and the refitted visor seemingly proved to be the tonic that he needed, and he will take plenty of stopping off the same mark here if in anything like the same form. Azuinthejungle gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Chuti Manika.
