Veena⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: D M Simcock| OR: 78

11/4

Has won her last two by small margins and only 7lb higher than first win, and still looks on a winnable mark judged on her older form. Acts well on the surface and this trip seems to suit better than further, so every chance of the three-timer.

Form: 98-4114

Poppy In The Wind^v²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Josh Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 76

7/2

Only just touched off by Veena (beaten a head) over this C&D, and now 4lb better off at the weights. Chance not helped by rider losing the reins late in the day there, so obvious chances of reversing the form. Loves the surface and consistent.

Form: 212376

(6)

Semana Santa³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: T D Barron| OR: 73

7/1

Ran well over this C&D last August but not repeated that in three runs since, and although not disgraced last time (although disqualified as rider lost weight cloth) doesn't look like a winner in waiting.

Form: 3-6D526

(7)

Fredricka^v1⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Renato Souza| T: J Santos| OR: 72

13/2

Hard to win with, as a record of 5-46 demonstrates but has fallen to a dangerous looking mark (11lb lower than last win) and gave notice her turn might not be far away last time out. Chances if the first time visor works, but this trip a slight concern (all wins at 5f).

Form: 322103

(5)

Silhuette^v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 67

100/1

Beaten big distances on last six starts, beating only a few horses home, and needs the first time visor to have a massive effect. Looks to have little hope.

Form: 777654

(4)

Ki Ki¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: B A Curtis| T: B Smart| OR: 60

5/2

Has run to some consistent figures on last three starts and shaped nicely on return over this C&D after a three-month break when not beaten far in fourth, sticking to the task well. May have a bit more to come and not discounted.

Form: 733-415

(1)

Jess^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Joe Doyle| T: K A Ryan| OR: 57

20/1

Not beaten a horse home in any of last three starts, and looks reluctant at times. Needs a huge turnaround in form and that looks unlikely.

Form: 74850-0

Thorntoun Lady¹⁸

Weight: 8-2| Age: 7

T: J S Goldie J: J P Sullivan

Forecasts

Ki Ki (5/2), Veena (11/4), Poppy In The Wind (7/2), Fredricka (13/2), Semana Santa (7/1), Thorntoun Lady (16/1), Jess (20/1), Silhuette (100/1)

It should pay to stick with the in-form sorts and POPPY IN THE WIND can take revenge on Veena for a head defeat last time. She appeared to get the sixth furlong fine and at the weights, can reverse that form. Veena herself franked that form with another narrow win at Chelmsford and continues in good heart. Ki Ki can round out the places.
