Verdict

HATAMOTO looked to be doing no more than enough when edging out a next-time-out scorer at Beverley last time and is taken to follow up off only 2 lb higher. Sandy Craic arrives at the top of her game and is the obvious danger. Leelawadee may have more to offer in handicaps.

5	Built on Ripon second when seeing off 6 rivals over 8.5f at Beverley (good to firm) 13 days ago, travelling powerfully in front and always finding enough to hold off a next-time-out winner. A 2 lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him with first-time cheekpieces added. 1st Pick 5 Hatamoto Jockey: Jake Dickson Trainer: Tim Easterby J: Jake Dickson T: Tim Easterby	99	-	-	-	84%

2	Showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Carlisle (7f, good) last month and backed that up with a good second of 9 at Beverley (8.5f, good) 12 days ago. Likely to go well under Conor Whiteley. 2nd Pick 2 Sandy Craic (Ire) Jockey: Conor Whiteley Trainer: David O'meara J: Conor Whiteley T: David O'meara	100	-	-	-	32%	Scratched

4	Lope Y Fernandez filly who has shown modest form in 3 qualifying runs at up to 7f but the step up to 1m should suit now handicapping. 3rd Pick 4 Leelawadee Jockey: Rhys Elliott Trainer: Michael Dods J: Rhys Elliott T: Michael Dods	90	-	-	-	17%
