Star Of Athena²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 64| BF

9/2

One of the more consistent runners in the line-up; Off the mark at the eighth attempt when comfortably landing Wolverhampton 1m6f handicap off 6lb lower mark before running well at Lingfield over 1m4f last time; should go well.

Form: 0-36215

(5)

Cold Harbour^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Brisland| OR: 62

9/2

Seemed to relish the step up in trip last time out at his favoured AW track Southwell not beaten far over 1m6f; not the most consistent but capable on his day and not one to easily dismiss.

Form: 103342

(6)

Zarrar^b,t⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: Rae Guest| OR: 59

7/1

Won twice late last year at Kempton for Brendan Powell, but has beaten just one rival in four starts this season for new connections; has changed hands again but hard to recommend on current form.

Form: 13-8008

(2)

Que Quieres¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 52| CD

7/4

Off the mark last time out over course and distance; has a nicely progressive profile and that could have been the confidence booster he needed to improve further; up in the weights but still a danger to all.

Form: 00-8231

(8)

Sibylline⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 50

9/1

Has been generally consistent since switching to handicaps and has shown versatility from 1m2f-2m; open to further improvement and looks one for the shortlist.

Form: 574334

(7)

Falls Creek^v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A M Balding| OR: 45

10/1

Four consistent efforts on the AW since returning from a short break suggests this filly is one to keep the right side and a reproduction of his course and distance run two starts ago will see him go close.

Form: 274544

(1)

Normandy Blue^b1⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: L McJannet| OR: 45

12/1

Still looking for his first career success from 26 outings and while capable of putting some fair efforts in on his day, is not one to rely upon heavily.

Form: 843060

(3)

Sleepdancer^b1,t⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 45

40/1

Unplaced in his six races to date and another dismal showing over course and distance on his latest start suggests he is best left alone at present.

Form: 570050

Forecasts

Que Quieres (7/4), Cold Harbour (9/2), Star Of Athena (9/2), Zarrar (7/1), Sibylline (9/1), Falls Creek (10/1), Normandy Blue (12/1), Sleepdancer (40/1)

QUE QUIERES seems a progressive type and although up in the weights for his recent win over course and distance, might still be the best option where only a few have serious chances. Now he has a win under his belt, he could be the type to build up a sequence. Star Of Athena is another recent winner and showed her well being when not disgraced when last seen out at Lingfield over a trip that may have been on the sharp side for him. While not looking an obvious winner, Falls Creek has been running with a general level of consistency that gives him a good shout of finally getting off the mark.
