Original Thinker has won twice in her career, winning at Beverley just over a year ago before landing a handicap at Carlisle on her seasonal debut five weeks ago, both over today's seven furlong trip. Has gone up 4lb for that success but her stable is in very good form, she will be a lot fitter and she can go well again this afternoon.
Mayo County was a good winner over seven furlongs at Redcar on her penultimate start at the end of May. It may look like she struggled off her new mark last time out at Chester, finishing 10th of 12, but that was over a slightly longer trip and with her poor draw she had to travel wide throughout. We can probably put a line through that run as she has been in consistently good form this year and she can bounce back this afternoon.
Sugar Baby comes here in excellent form, landing his second win of the year when winning over the minimum trip at Redcar at the beginning of May. He then followed up with a 2nd at the same course off his new mark and last time out he was 2nd again at Thirsk, both those races over today's six furlong trip. That Thirsk race was particularly strong as the winner, 4th and 7th have all won since and our selection has every chance of adding his name to that list.
Madame Fenella is a big price and although she only has two career wins, the last one in 2023, she is now 12lb lower than that last winning mark. On her latest outing she ran her best race for some time when 3rd of 10 over course and distance here, only 2 lengths behind the winner, todays favourite Raft Up. She has a 7lb pull in the weights today, that was her first run on turf for some time, so at big odds she is certainly one to take a chance on.
