Selected odds by:

(1)

Mimic's Memory¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 56

14/1

Left her previous form over 6F behind when upped to 7F for the first time at Southwell eleven days ago, beating Eponina by ¾L. Upped again in trip under a penalty.

Form: 437541

(9)

State Residence¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Makin| T: D O'Meara| OR: 59

8/1

Formerly with David Simcock (0 from 3) and sold for 15,000 gns. Plenty of experience on the AW, but yet to make his mark in handicaps in three starts for this yard (gelded prior to last run). Newcastle debut.

Form: 844600

(3)

Champion Harbour¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59

4/1

11 race maiden but solid enough in these sort of events. Not beaten all that far when third to Rita's Man (Fairy Lock second) over this trip on turf at Redcar recently, and 1lb lower tonight.

Form: 3250-83

(6)

Trois Bon Amis¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

25/1

Up 2F in trip having previously been campaigned over 5F and 6F. Well beaten on reappearance at Thirsk behind Mr Strutter having raced prominently but should benefit for that outing.

Form: 5346-9

(12)

Beauchamp Opal^p1⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 59

4/1

Probably found 1m2f too far at Chelmsford on her latest outing after a series of solid if unspectacular runs over 1m. Often sets herself too much to do and this stiff track coupled with the application of cheek-pieces could help to bring out the best in her.

Form: 69-3345

(8)

Miss Monro³⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: B Ellison| OR: 58

20/1

Off since June 2016 and now steps up sharply in trip (2F) for handicap debut with pedigree suggesting she'll stay.

Form: 685-

(5)

Turning Gold^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 57

8/1

Three quick runs in maidens over the course of five weeks, and allocated an opening mark of 58 for his handicap debut at Redcar earlier this month. However, always in rear after dwelling, but no surprise if he takes a huge step forward tonight with blinkers added.

Form: 000-9

(4)

Breathoffreshair¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: R C Guest| OR: 57

8/1

Beaten about 4L when fourth in a moderate 7F maiden here in November (66/1), and returns to Newcastle for his handicap debut up in trip from a mark of 57.

Form: 004-

(14)

Peny Arcade¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: A C Whillans| OR: 56| C

14/1

Finished three places in front of Breathoffreshair when winning a 7F maiden at this track in November. Returned on turf at Ayr recently (seventh) and entitled to be stronger physically but stamina a worry.

Form: 46571-7

(2)

Coachella²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Joey Haynes| T: E De Giles| OR: 55

16/1

Little impression in a trio of 6F maidens as a juvenile (at big odds). Up in trip for handicap debut (rated 55) and one of the likelier types given connections and purchase price of 60,000 gns as a juvenile.

Form: 098-

(11)

Huddersfilly Town²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 53

33/1

Hasn't developed as well as her trainer expected since her debut here in November, and never in a position to be involved on her handicap debut at Kempton last month. Up in trip.

Form: 6-470

(13)

Tael O' Gold¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 53

25/1

Eight race maiden, but showed limited potential when third to Ronnie The Rooster over C&D in November. Form tailed off in the weeks that followed and returns from a break (off since December 2016).

Form: 409307-

(10)

Fairy Lock¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron| OR: 52

5/1

Split Rita's Man and Champion Harbour at Redcar earlier this month on her first attempt over 1m, so holds an obvious chance on that evidence despite a 2lb rise. Appears to handle Tapeta.

Form: 094-542

Forecasts

Champion Harbour (4/1), Beauchamp Opal (4/1), Fairy Lock (5/1), Turning Gold (8/1), State Residence (8/1), Breathoffreshair (8/1), Mimic's Memory (14/1), Peny Arcade (14/1), Coachella (16/1), Miss Monro (20/1), Rey Loopy (20/1), Trois Bon Amis (25/1), Tael O' Gold (25/1), Huddersfilly Town (33/1)

Low grade action and not much in the way of reliable form to get stuck into. Fairy Lock has the best recent form (Redcar) and such was the proximity of Champion Harbour to her in third, the Richard Fahey trained horse also holds similar claims. Coachella could leave his previous form in the past on handicap debut, whilst the application of cheek-pieces (Beauchamp Opal) and blinkers (TURNING GOLD) may help a couple of rather unexposed sorts prove far better than their current basement marks of 59 and 57 respectively.
