Blanchefleur³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

14/1

Has been set a few tough tasks of late but doesn't look particularly well handicapped on the evidence of recent runs. Likely to find one or two of these too good.

Form: 23209-9

Sea Youmzain²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73| BF

11/4

Sent off favourite at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago for a novice event and didn't seem to see out he trip. Drop back to ten furlongs here looks a good move and a key player.

Form: 22-3

(5)

Double Reflection²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 73| BF

3/1

Ran really well when beaten by just a handicap blot on return at Windsor (1m2f, good) and again only just failed at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago. Up 5lbs for not winning but clearly in rude health and dangerous to dismiss.

Form: 736-722

(2)

Dance Me³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S Kirk| OR: 73

7/2

Still a maiden and yet to be tried in handicaps and comes here off a very stiff task last time in a German Group 3 over 1m. Never a danger in that she has shown that she can take a hand off this sort of mark.

Form: 3423-26

(7)

Polar Light^p³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 66

12/1

Not the most consistent sort and has been struggling to make an impact off this sort of mark for a while. Will need to be at her very best to have a say in this.

Form: 9-27275

(4)

Storm Jazz¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 63

7/1

Question marks over this trip not really answered last time Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) as she didn't get the best of runs through. Again shaped with promise there and not easily dismissed.

Form: 3490-84

(6)

Midas Maggie²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: C Hills| OR: 63

6/1

Didn't show a great deal in her three starts last year. Likely to be much better suited to handicaps and gets in here off a lowly mark. Back from a break and Silvestre De Sousa booked. Market check needed.

Form: 659-

Forecasts

Sea Youmzain (11/4), Double Reflection (3/1), Dance Me (7/2), Affina (9/2), Midas Maggie (6/1), Storm Jazz (7/1), Polar Light (12/1), Blanchefleur (14/1)

An interesting renewal of a competitive heat. Several of these have the potential to be better than their current marks. Affina returns from the back of a lengthly absence and steps up markedly in trip. Double Reflection has been in good form and is respected. A market move for Midas Maggie would be significant on handicap debut. Slight preference is for SEA YOUMZAIN to record a first win dropping back in trip for Mark Johnston on handicap debut
