Tigerwolf³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62

8/1

Made his Fibresand debut last month over C&D and now dropped 3lb for that effort although he ran well below form and didn't looks suited by the surface. Would need to show more this time around and others make more appeal.

Sooqaan⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 54| CD

6/1

Had previously looked suited by this surface and he looked suited by his return to the Fibresand when winning here last time out. A 6lb penalty now makes life a little harder and he has never followed up a win with another one.

Form: 0401-71

Viva Verglas^e/s¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Ryan Holmes⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59| BF| C

16/1

A dual winner (back-to-back) over 6f here last year he's slipped in the weights since then and has on occasions looked on the way back. His last three runs here have been rather modest though and he's now stepped up to a mile for the first time under an inexperienced rider.

Form: 8725-43

Unnoticed^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 59

10/1

Despite being 0/8 here he has run some decent races on this surface and he does have a third to his name over C&D. He still looked in good form over 7f here last time but overall he looks as though another place may be the best he can do despite his strong travelling nature.

Form: 52784-4

Indigo Princess³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| D

15/2

Her last win came off a 5lb higher mark than this and her recent second at Chelmsford showed that she can be competitive off this mark (ran well from well out of the handicap; 40/1 chance). Only one previous run here a long time ago; still to prove herself on this surface.

Form: 2966-82

Luath²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: N Mackay| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Has plenty of form over C&D (51324) as well as another win here to his name over 7f and he's now only 1lb above his last winning mark. Wasn't quite up to his best here last time out over C&D (did meet some trouble) but hard to totally write off given his experience of the surface.

Form: 46032-4

(6)

Canadian Royal^e/c,t⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 57

11/4

Consistent here having finished third in all his three starts here although all those runs came over shorter trips. Only had one previous try over this trip (unsuccessful) and often promises more than he actually delivers.

Form: 6333-33

Princess Way^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Matt Cosham⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 56| C

25/1

Won on her Fibresand debut when finding plenty for pressure over 7f but that win did come in a weaker contest than this and she's struggled to follow up that run in two starts since. 4lb higher than for her win and this mark may prove a testing one again.

Form: 3471-60

Shackles⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: N G Richards| OR: 53

25/1

Finished well down the field on his stable/handicap debut at Wolverhampton over an extended mile (slow away). Most of his previous form is poor and it remains to be seen how he handles this new surface with sire having a very modest strike-rate here.

Form: 799/9-

New Tale^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: S H James| T: Olly Williams| OR: 46

33/1

Ran one of his better races when third over C&D on his penultimate start off a basement mark but failed to back that up last time over 6f. His one previous try over this trip here wasn't that convincing and others make more appeal.

Form: 30043-0

General Tufto^b⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Smith| OR: 45| CD

14/1

Needs no introduction around here having and overall record at the track of 15/113 (13/82 over C&D) and he ran one of his better recent races over C&D last time out (well backed). Always has to be respected here but does need a pace that collapses to win a race.

Form: 605-953

(13)

Good Man^p⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 45

18/1

Drops down markedly in trip here having run over further in all his last four runs on turf and AW. Has looked fairly limited on the evidence presented so far and the sire has a record of 0/23 here.

Form: 056306-

Monzino^p¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| C

100/1

Has won here twice but those wins came an awful long time ago and he showed very little here last time out as usual going with little fluency and isn't hard to pass over here.

Forecasts

Canadian Royal (11/4), Sooqaan (6/1), Luath (7/1), Indigo Princess (15/2), Tigerwolf (8/1), Ignacio Zuloaga (8/1), Unnoticed (10/1), General Tufto (14/1), Viva Verglas (16/1), Good Man (18/1), Princess Way (25/1), Shackles (25/1), New Tale (33/1), Monzino (100/1)

Only a low key end to the card and while the race looks to be competitive it isn’t an easy one to unravel. Sooqaan was a winner here last time out but has never followed up a win and that leaves a question mark over him while this looks a trip too far for Viva Verglas. Unnoticed is another who might struggle over this mile along with Canadian Royal with Ignacio Zuloaga one who could do with further although he could be rolling home at the finish. General Tufto can never be left out of the equation here but INDIGO PRINCESS is given the vote. She ran well from out of the handicap at Chelmsford and if she can repeat that run on this different surface she should go close here.
