Rosemary May
ROSEMARY MAY's recent Ripon third was a big step back in the right direction and, from 5 lb lower, she's given a chance to build on it now up in trip again. Naturalia rates an obvious threat on the back of 2 runner-up efforts at Carlisle, while Motawaared appeals as one likely to pop up for Jim Goldie before too long.

Won small-field handicap at Ayr (13f) last summer and arrives on the back of 2 good runner-up efforts over 11f at Carlisle in recent weeks. Doesn't have a great strike-rather but she's at the top of her game at present.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle1m 3f 39yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/10Carlisle1m 3f 39yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/7Hamilton Park1m 1f 35yGoodFlat6/10Musselburgh1m 208yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat9/12Catterick Bridge1m 4f 13yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/8- 2(4)MotawaaredJ: Paul MulrennanT: Jim Goldie67-7765Age 43/110/3

Doesn't entirely straightforward but has left the impression he's building up to something on most starts for this yard, nearest at the finish when fifth of 11 over 1m at Hamilton in first-time cheekpieces (off now) 12 days ago.

Bagged 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) in January. Might have found the run coming too soon when well held at Southwell 8 days later. Given a break ahead of this return to turf.

Won a 1m Ayr maiden last spring. Has mostly struggled in handicaps since but showed better signs stepped up in trip at Ripon last week, finishing third of 8 over 1¼m. Able to run off 5 lb lower here so should have a big say if building on that now up in trip again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon1m 1f 170yGoodFlat3/8Carlisle7f 173ySoftFlat9/9Catterick Bridge7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/8Ripon1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat10/10Carlisle6f 195ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/9- 5(5)Gemini ManJ: Andrew MullenT: Iain Jardine225-121Age 87/16/113/2

Has 2 wins and a second to from his three attempts at classified races on all-weather this year, bouncing back from a poor run over hurdles to see off 12 rivals at Newcastle (1¼m) 3 weeks ago.

Ended losing run in C&D handicap last summer for Jim Goldie. Yet to find her best form for this stable but latest sixth of 11 at Hamilton (1½m, good) was a step back in the right direction.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHamilton Park1m 4f 15yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/11Ayr1mGood to FirmFlat7/8Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat7/8Musselburgh1m 4f 104ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat7/8Ayr1m 2fHeavyFlat8/8- 7(3)Star Of MarkinchJ: Amie WaughT: Gary Rutherford57-0444Age 1050/133/140/1

Long-standing maiden. Had little chance from a long way out of the handicap last time but hard to make a good case for even though she can run off close to her proper mark here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 7f 217yGoodFlat4/5Musselburgh1m 7f 217yGoodFlat4/5Musselburgh1m 4f 104yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/9Newcastle2m 56yStandardFlat10/10Musselburgh1m 7f 217ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat7/9
