MONMAER - 9/1
MONMAER is well treated and returns to turf, where she has a much better record than on the all-weather. She has C&D form, a recent run, and trainer Jack Morland's yard is going OK.
Josephine Gordon, who’s won twice from three rides on her, takes the mount for the first time under this trainer—a notable booking.
4.35 REDCAR
Racing TV Zetland Gold Cup Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
LIBERTY COACH - 10/1 (E/W)
LIBERTY COACH has strong Redcar form figures of 3-2-1 and shaped well on his reappearance at Chester, finishing from an unfavourable inside rail. That form has been boosted by others since, and he should strip fitter now.
He returns to a track he loves for the in-form Quinn yard, and looks set to run well. Rather than backing him each-way, a split-stakes bet on two course specialists may offer better value.
5.30 BALLINROBE
MOONOVERCLOON - 14/1 (E/W)
MOONOVERCLOON drops back to hurdles off a 6lb lower mark and looks competitive, having placed in a Listed Punchestown handicap last year behind the late Chapeau De Soleil.
He’s mainly run over fences since, posting solid efforts in strong handicaps, most recently fourth in the Killarney National. With a 3lb claimer on board and a genuine attitude, he looks a solid each-way shout at 14/1.

HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE - 2/1
HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE is in good form, winning twice in April before a solid third at Uttoxeter despite a sharp finish due to omitted hurdles. Back up in trip and 2lb lower, he looks well treated. His jockey is also in fine form, with a 33% strike-rate from his last 15 rides.

STAINCLIFF - 10/1 (E/W)
STAINCLIFF bolted up by nearly nine lengths at Windsor last August on her return from 284 days off, a rare feat over 5f.
She hasn't matched that since but still holds plenty of promise. Now with a new yard, dropping to a mark 3lb lower, and back to 6f after wind surgery, she looks capable of going close.
