7/2

Hereford win in December came right out of the blue (went off 33/1) and that was over a trip five furlongs further than today too. Was in the process of running another good race when unseating again next time (again at Hereford) but not repeated the form in two runs since.

Form: 5-8401

Easter In Paris¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 98

10/1

Poor run last time out needs forgiving but had been in reasonable form before that, running second at Plumpton (over fences) and Fontwell before that. May not want it heavy, but in a weak event, isn't without a chance.

Form: 3P-72PF

Dainty Diva¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 94

33/1

Infrequent winner with her last victory coming back in 2015 and has shown only the odd flash of form since; a second in a seller at Exeter last March as near as she's come to winning again. That form only moderate anyway, and showed nothing on first run for new yard recently, so plenty on today.

Form: P27-PP0

Snippetydoodah^h,t⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts| OR: 90

4/1

Generally consistent at a low level, and did win a small race at Fontwell last year (on heavy) but was disappointing on latest start when pulling up at Plumpton in early January. Has had a small break, which may help, but is better at a lower level.

Form: 641-422

Kayflin^h¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Garner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 87

5/1

Inconsistent, often following up a good run with a poor one, and that was the case again when she got off the mark at the 21st time over this C&D in January, only to run below form next time out. Saves best efforts for Plumpton, but still more likelier winners.

Form: 9172U4-

Willshebetrying²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: M R Hoad| OR: 87

7/2

No win from 16 starts but has shown ability. Has been far from disgraced in any of her last three starts, often running on late in the day to challenge for the places, and in such a weak event has to be given consideration.

Form: 4/F345-5

Premier Rose^p³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 83

4/1

Expected conditions are fine, but only the one piece of form from her last five starts worth mentioning, with that being a second at Bangor in December. Addition of cheekpieces last time didn't improve things, and needs to turn her form around to hold any chance here.

Forecasts

Willshebetrying (7/2), Deckers Delight (7/2), Snippetydoodah (4/1), Premier Rose (4/1), Kayflin (5/1), Easter In Paris (10/1), Ermyn's Edith (12/1), Dainty Diva (33/1)

Nothing here has a solid profile, and the advice is to tread carefully. Over a longer trip Deckers Delight would have looked the one to beat, and if the expected rain really comes it will help in that regard, but maybe this is the opportunity WILLSHEBETRYING has been waiting for. She's been running with some consistency lately and this looks easier. Kayflin might appreciate the return to her favourite track, and Snippetydoodah might go well if the break has freshened her up. 1. Willshebetrying 2. Deckers Delight 3. Kayflin
