Popping Corks¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 56

5/1

Former Richard Hannon filly ran on well for fourth on stable debut over 5f at Musselburgh and similar story next time when fifth there again over 5f. Extra 1f will suit and if handling AW on first start she has legitimate claims.

Andies Armies¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: L Williamson| OR: 55

33/1

Three starts in novice events never seen him competitive including over C&D latest when 10th of 12 at 250/1 which followed two last placed efforts. Hard to find positives.

Form: 800

Fighting Spirit⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 54| C

2/1

Won a handicap over 7f here on penultimate start when she led close home. Shade disappointing over same C&D next given 4lb rise wasn't overly harsh but certainly merits respect here with a course win to her name.

Kemmeridge Bay⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 53

16/1

Behind rivals here the last twice with an eighth of Musselburgh (Popping Corks fourth) and seventh here (Geography Teacher second). Extra 1f and drop of 3lb give some hope but reversal with either rival unlikely.

Rainbow Beach^h1⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 50

8/1

Little positives gleaned from three novice events but kept on late on in a 5f claimer at Beverley latest as if this trip would suit better. Blinkers added so can be given each-way consideration now.

Lincoln Red⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rachel Richardson| T: Olly Williams| OR: 50

9/4

Ran best race of his career latest when third over 7f here in a handicap (beaten 2½L). Drop to 6f shouldn't be a great inconvenience and gets another 1b back so should again make a bold bid.

Form: 008853

You Little Beauty^p²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K Stott| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 46

3/1

Third over 7f here at 80/1 in penultimate start was very much a step in the right direction and was a little short of room next when seemingly disappointing. Drop to 6f not sure to suit but has place claims.

Nettie Honeyball^b1⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 45

33/1

Only beaten four rivals in as many starts so far including latest 10th of 11 in a 5f handicap here where Geography Teacher was second. Blinkers added but will need to have quite dramatic effect.

Forecasts

Fighting Spirit (2/1), Lincoln Red (9/4), Geography Teacher (9/4), You Little Beauty (3/1), Popping Corks (5/1), Rainbow Beach (8/1), Kemmeridge Bay (16/1), Nettie Honeyball (33/1), Andies Armies (33/1), Liberty Diva (66/1)

GEOGRAPHY TEACHER ran an excellent race here latest in his first start on this surface and he looked like he would stay the extra 1f so positives are plentiful and he gets the vote. Lincoln Red also improved latest when third over 7f here and he too enters the equation and will capitalise if there are any weaknesses in his rival's stamina. Popping Corks has been crying out for an extra 1f the last twice and if she handles this surface as well as turf she has legitimate claims.
