Comprise¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: M L W Bell

30/100

Showed loads of potential when finishing placed in two turf maidens last September and should have plenty of improvement left in him as he start his three-year-old career. Surface is an unknown but the sire has produced plenty of winners on here.

Form: 32-12

(3)

Hungarian Rhapsody¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

4/1

One of only two runners in this that have experience of this surface which will stand him in good stead. His overall level of form leaves him with a fair bit to find with Comprise though although the return to 6f should suit.

Form: 52

(2)

Ejabah¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Smith| OR: 59

20/1

Fared no better for this yard than she had for her old one when sixth here last time out over 7f. Would need to improve a lot to take a hand here.

Form: 668-647

(4)

Maggi May²³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Donoghue⁽⁷⁾| T: D H Brown

50/1

Showed very little in two sprint maidens on turf finishing last on both runs. Highly unlikely to get involved in this and looks destined for low grade handicaps.

Form: 00-322

(5)

Waves¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Fahy| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 61

20/1

Makes her Fibresand debut after showing some very modest form in nursery handicaps. Back from a winter break and facing a relatively tough task back in maidens.

Form: 57269-5

Forecasts

Comprise (30/100), Hungarian Rhapsody (4/1), Bowed Not Broken (5/1), Ejabah (20/1), Waves (20/1), Maggi May (50/1)

Hardly a deep race and although he has yet to run on Fibresand it would be a surprise if any of these could match the form of COMPRISE. Hungarian Rhapsody at least has experience of this surface and that may give him the edge over Bowed Not Broken in the race for the forecast slot.
