Sunderland Bags Race 12 - The Colin Mallam Stakes
WILLOWS HOPE (1) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (28.74), beaten 5 lengths. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ARDMOULIN EAGLE (6) jumped from this trap and scrambled home to a narrow A6 win at this track over 450m latest (28.31). Rates a leading chance again. LEOS LOKI (3) broke through for his maiden success last time out at this track over 450m (28.29). Won at his only start from this draw. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MUSTANG POPPY (4) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

In the money two back then well supported last start but she finished 4th on April 12 over 450m at this track behind Ardmoulin Eagle beaten 5 lengths (28.74) in an A6. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

Showed little last start over 450m at this track when beaten 13 len (29.16) behind Macys Honey on April 3. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A7 by 2 len at this track over 450m (28.29). Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 450m in an A6 at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

Heading in the right direction and looks close to a maiden win. One of the last early but finished off nicely latest into third (28.39) at this track over 450m. Sure to improve on the experience. Happy to risk in this.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A6 by 0.8 len at this track over 450m (28.31). Looks the one to beat again.
