Verdict

DONNA NOOK makes plenty of appeal on her best form and could be worth another chance in this grade. Headstrong Always Blue is capable of better in handicaps and needs considering, along with Ravishing Beauty, who is back on her latest winning mark.

3	Notched a first handicap success in a similar event at Ripon in early-June. Followed up with some creditable in-frame efforts prior to disappointing back in a 0-70 at Ripon last time. She could be worth another chance off 1 lb below her latest winning mark. 1st Pick 3 Donna Nook Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: David O'meara J: Daniel Tudhope T: David O'meara	100	-	-	-	29%

7	Wasn't beaten far in a solid York novice earlier in the season. Looked ready for 1¼m but was too free when beaten favourite at Redcar latest. Still early days in handicaps and remains with potential to do better, provided she settles back down in distance. 2nd Pick 7 Always Blue Jockey: Sean Dylan Bowen Trainer: Harriet Bethell J: Sean Dylan Bowen T: Harriet Bethell	99	-	-	-	23%

8	Three-time winner of 1m handicaps. Had been in reasonable heart before failing to take to more severe headgear at Carlisle (1m) last time. Return of cheekpieces/P.J. McDonald should see her in a better light, especially now back on her latest winning mark. 3rd Pick 8 Ravishing Beauty Jockey: P. J. Mcdonald Trainer: Jedd O'keeffe J: P. J.

Rabbit

Also known as a pacemaker; this is a horse with no expected chance of winning but is used to prompt a quick pace on the front end of the race to the benefit of a stablemate who is a closer.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.
