Bridal March²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: J Mackie| OR: 60

16/1

Some promise early in juvenile career but finished last on final two starts. Has since left Mark Johnston and best watched on debut for new yard. Jockey 4-13 for the yard.

Form: 332300-

(12)

Luduamf⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 59

13/2

Has promised to deliver previously but has proven weak in a finish. Will have his supporters representing such a big yard but he appears to be one to have reservations about.

Form: 30-3468

(10)

Fair Selene^p¹³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 59

7/1

Two best efforts have come at Kempton and she ran below those levels on only run here. Off the track since December and may need the run.

Form: 054395-

Delagate This Lord^p1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: F Sweeney| T: W G M Turner| OR: 59

16/1

Offered a bit more on his handicap debut last time when behind Metronomic and entitled to improve on that first run back from a four month break. Cheekpieces go on but still has something to find on form.

Form: 0778-77

(4)

Cryptonite²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 58

5/2

€120,000 Dark Angel yearling who was unraced for Charlie Fellowes but twice raced as a juvenile for this yard over 6f at Hamilton and Redcar last back-end. Down the field in a strong maiden last time and interesting now qualified for handicapping.

Form: 65-01

(2)

Pass The Cristal²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 55

10/3

Cost 33,000gns and is a half-brother to Group Two winner Grande Melody. No show in three maidens but looks the type to be a different proposition now handicapping. May need further and yard are 0-30 with break returners in May.

Form: 689-

(8)

Viola Park^b1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Powell| T: R Harris| OR: 54

11/2

Made all to score at Chelmsford and has been ridden with more restraint when noted staying on close home on his last two starts. Those efforts have seen him go up in the weights and that requires the blinkers to have a positive effect.

Form: 144250

(6)

Tink^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Charlie Bennett⁽⁵⁾| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 49

33/1

Was always handy in a slowly run race here in March but had her limitations exposed next time when she tried to make all. Others make more appeal.

Form: 789620

(5)

Captain Sedgwick³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Spearing| OR: 47

33/1

Lightly raced maiden who has shown signs of ability. Looks capable of better and will get few easier opportunities to show it.

Form: 0-84D8

(3)

Mesmeric Moment^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: R Ffrench| T: S A Harris| OR: 45

66/1

Winner of a turf seller last term but well beaten more recently and has finished last on her three most recent starts. Hard to recommend even though stepping up in trip and with blinkers now applied.

Form: 88-4775

Forecasts

Cryptonite (5/2), Metronomic (5/2), Pass The Cristal (10/3), Viola Park (11/2), Luduamf (13/2), Fair Selene (7/1), My Girl Maisie (14/1), Bridal March (16/1), Delagate This Lord (16/1), Captain Sedgwick (33/1), Tink (33/1), Mesmeric Moment (66/1)

This will take little winning and with the more exposed horses such as Metronomic and Viola Park making little appeal at the weights it may be worth considering a couple making their handicap debuts. Pass The Cristal hails from a yard that are not afraid to have a tilt at the bookmakers when an opportunity presents itself. He is bred to be a lot better than we have seen so far and it will be interesting to see how the market rates his chances. The same applies to CRYPTONITE who has sidestepped an engagement at Chelmsford on Tuesday and faces weaker opposition here. He is an expensive purchase for the yard and has shown promise in three maidens. This is his easiest task to date and he is selected to take full advantage.
