7/4

Took advantage of a falling handicap mark to get the better of Quick N Quirky here last time, making all the running and this contest no more difficult. However, different ground conditions this time, plus a bit further to get, so new questions to answer.

5/1

Twice a winner on sand surfaces last winter, looking a progressive sort but that progression has stalled recently, and change of headgear now tried. Fairly handicapped but now needs to refind some form to be considered.

Mama Africa¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 66

9/4

Still a maiden but has been knocking on the door, and another solid effort against an unexposed one at Nottingham last time out. Might prefer a slightly slower surface that she's likely to get here, though, so that elusive win may have to wait for another day.

Savannah Moon^h1¹⁴

13/2

Can pull hard and be too keen in her races, so no surprise to see the addition of a hood to try and remedy that today. Good effort at Leicester last time, though, and this track should suit if the headgear works, so cannot be discounted.

Ventura Secret¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

15/2

Her mark is falling fast after a series of mediocre efforts, mainly over sprint trips, and she shows no signs of being able to stop the rot at present. This new trip an unknown too, and it all looks too much to ask.

Forecasts

Whatsthemessage (7/4), Mama Africa (9/4), Hajjam (3/1), Dream Team (5/1), Savannah Moon (13/2), Ventura Secret (15/2)

Whatsthemessage may well get an easy time of it on the lead again and can't be allowed too much rope, but this quicker ground swings things in favour of HAJJAM, doing little wrong at present and should find this stiff mile ideal. Savannah Moon will hold a chance if the headgear works the oracle and she settles that bit better.
