Selected odds by:
Career best effort when finishing runner-up over an extended 1m here earlier this month. Races off a 2lb higher mark today and an interesting runner in this.
Finished runner-up in a maiden over this distance at Newcastle in March. Not repeated that form since and beaten 9L fourth over an extended 1m at Hamilton (soft) last time out and races off a 3lb higher mark here.
Finished third on her last two outings. Most recent effort came off a mark of 66 over 7f at Doncaster (good-to-firm) earlier this month and has stamina to prove in this contest.
Run to a fair level of form so far in maiden races and finished runner-up over 1m2f at Lingfield two months ago. Well beaten off a 2lb higher mark on handicap debut over the same distance prior to that and drops in trip here.
Finished third the last twice including over an extended 7f on handicap debut at Beverley (good-to-firm) three weeks ago. Likely to appreciate the slight step up in distance here and one for the shortlist in this contest.
Had seven starts so far and finished runner-up on first run since being gelded at Ayr over 7f on good ground three weeks ago. Finished third next time out though a disappointment last time and wears a visor for the first time here.
Signs of promise in three starts so far but beaten 17L when third of seven over 1m2f at Leicester (good) last time. Interesting runner on his handicap debut today.
Finished in the first three on three of her four starts so far. Most recent of those came over 7f at Lingfield (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Beaten 6L on that occasion and one to note stepping up in trip today.
Signs of promise in three maiden races to date. Latest of those came over an extended 1m here in November last year and worth a check in the market on her handicap debut.
Well beaten in three maiden races so far. Beaten 15L over an extended 1m1f here last time out and market support would be noteworthy on handicap debut.
Ran a fair race when fourth of nine on handicap debut over an extended 7f at Beverley (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Making his debut for this stable on that occasion and wears a hood for the first time today.
One of his better efforts when finishing fifth over 1m at Kempton earlier this month. Races off a mark 3lb lower than on that occasion but others make more appeal in this contest.
Stepped up on previous efforts since joining this yard when fourth over 1m in first time blinkers (retained today) at Kempton last time out. Races off a 2lb lower mark today.
Forecasts
Art's Desire (7/2), Inglorious (4/1), Prancing Oscar (6/1), Lord Kitten (13/2), Life Of Luxury (10/1), Feel The Vibes (12/1), Grey Diamond (12/1), Dream Magic (14/1), Mutineer (16/1), Nargiza (16/1), Leopard (33/1), Joys Delight (33/1), Princess Ophelia (66/1)
LORD KITTEN has been running well in recent starts and made a promising handicap debut when third last time out. The selection is bred to stay further and can register a first victory in this concluding maiden handicap. Inglorious is fitted with a visor for the first time today having disappointed at Ayr last time and that can be enough to see him return to form by claiming second here while Joys Delight, who has put in some solid performances over 7f so far in her career can claim third on her handicap debut and first attempt at this trip.
- Lord Kitten
- Inglorious
- Joys Delight
