Ricochet³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 67| BF

6/1

Handicap/stable debut having failed to make the most of a good opportunity (odds-on favourite) over 5f in novice company last time. Drop to the minimum trip failed to suit (took an age to get going); return to 6f should suit, second twice over C&D.

Form: 22-4662

(2)

Stallone^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: R Spencer| OR: 66| BF| D

4/1

Off the mark on his third handicap attempt looking to appreciate the testing conditions at Nottingham (6f), just 1lb above that mark now. Creditable efforts since then including last time (6f, Leicester), shouldn't be fazed by a return to the AW.

Form: 133572

Victory Rose⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: A Elliott| T: M D Squance| OR: 66| D

3/1

Improved on her last start, given her first taste of handicaps pulling clear with the second to land 0-60 6f Doncaster contest. Well suited by coming off a strong pace this will be her Polytrack/stable debut; 6lb higher, further progress expected.

Form: 6631

Awa Bomba¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| D

13/2

Appeared well suited by Fibresand when winning with a fair bit in hand on that unique surface in March off 5lb lower. Given a break after that (Southwell form failed to work out) his two efforts since have been modest; now makes Polytrack debut.

Form: 9-03155

Chil Chil⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 63WS

3/1

Goes into handicaps off the back of a wind op having shown only fair form so far (perhaps held back by inexperience first two starts). Well found in the market on all starts (possibly unsuited by ground last time); could well improve in this sphere.

Form: 427

Fly The Nest^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63

16/1

Started life in handicaps with this yard off a mark of 82 but that's tumbled since in line with his moderate (at best) performances. Hood tried last time remains for a second try but overall, he represents an unpersuasive proposition.

Form: 7-79678

(11)

Lordsbridge Boy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| D

12/1

Took his form to a new level last time when winning at Newmarket (6f, good/firm) having shown nothing near that level before; held on well from stablemate. Still low-mileage, may have more to offer if coping with this different surface; poor draw.

Form: 0566-81

(10)

Grandee Daisy⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 58| CD

50/1

Starts out with a new yard having won over C&D for Jo Hughes; had looked regressive for that yard though (well beaten in a French claimer last time). Losing sequence has now reached double-figures, that plus a poor draw mean she makes little appeal.

Form: 549760

(5)

Haze⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 58

25/1

Lightly-raced sort who shaped as though progress was needed from her opening mark (dropped 2lb) having finished well held on handicap debut. Now with a new yard she may have needed the run last time but isn't one to go overboard about.

Form: 40-37

(4)

Catheadans Fiyah¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 56

16/1

Second start in handicaps with her debut in this sphere producing her best run so far although it's still a modest effort overall. Eased just 1lb from her initial mark it may take some further help from the handicapper before she's of interest.

Form: 066-3

One or two as yet unexposed types in this but it’s hard to get away from VICTORY ROSE who enjoyed the strong pace when winning at Doncaster last time. Now with a new yard she looks still looks well handicapped even off a 6lb higher mark and nicely drawn. Lordsbridge Boy took an unexpected step forward last time to take a race at Newmarket defeating his stablemate although the draw could have been kinder. Chil Chil on the back of a wind op ought to be better than she’s shown so far with solid performers like Ricochet and Stallone also entering the mix.
