Live In The Moment¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: R Havlin| T: A West| OR: 75| C

9/2

Back from a break when winning by 1L in a handicap over 5f here earlier this month. Raised 5lb for that victory and holds strong claims of following up stepping back up in trip.

Form: 4225-61

(1)

I'm Digby¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 71

14/1

Five race maiden finished a well held sixth in a seven runner handicap over this trip at Lingfield in February. Others hold more obvious claims on this occasion.

Form: 543-66

(8)

Miss Thoughtful¹⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 71| D

20/1

Recorded a second career success when victorious by ¾L in a 6f event at Kempton in January. Slowly away and never involved off a 5lb higher mark over the same C&D later that month and interesting to see how she fares following a break.

Form: 1529-15

(5)

Kilconquhar¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

16/1

Good third in a C&D novice event on debut in November but failed to replicate that effort in two further starts at two. Market support would be notable on handicap debut and first start since being gelded.

Form: 307-

(3)

Nibras Shadow¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: I Mohammed| OR: 70

4/1

Making her seasonal reappearance when finishing a good 2½L third in a 6f event on handicap debut at Newcastle earlier this month. Races off the same mark here and another bold show looks likely.

Form: 505-3

(11)

Barking Mad^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 68

40/1

Sole success in nine starts came when victorious by a short-head in a 7f handicap at Kempton in January. Struggled in three subsequent starts however and has a wide draw to overcome with blinkers tried for the first time.

Form: 42-1650

(13)

Twice As Likely¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Donohoe| T: R Hughes| OR: 68| D

25/1

Recorded her first AW success when finishing ½L clear of her rivals in a handicap over 5f at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Has to defy a 4lb rise in the weights and a poor draw if she is to take this event.

Form: 5304-41

(2)

Silent Agenda³⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: A Watson| OR: 68

8/1

Ran well when fourth in a 6f maiden at Kempton on debut in June last year. Well held twice subsequently however but represents a yard with a 28% strike-rate (10/36) of late on handicap debut and first start since last July.

Form: 450-

(6)

Tommy Rock²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 68

6/1

Decent efforts on two of his three starts at two most recently when 10½L fourth in a 6f novice event at Kempton last October. Worth a check in the market on handicap and seasonal debut.

Form: 304-

(12)

Restless Endeavour¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 68

6/1

Victorious over 7f for Jamie Osborne last August and ran well when beaten 3½L into fourth in a 6f handicap at Newcastle when debuting for this yard earlier this month. Draw could have been kinder.

Form: 2139-4

(7)

Yukon Mission^b¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 66

14/1

Placed five times from seven starts including when third in first time blinkers (retained since) over this trip at Lingfield in February. Making her first start since finishing sixth over the same trip here the following month.

Form: 3-23236

(10)

Lakeview^t¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 66

16/1

Placed twice over this C&D including when beaten 2¼L into second in a handicap in early March. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and is one to note in this race.

Form: 626-642

NIBRAS SHADOW ran well on her return to action and she looks capable of taking this competitive three-year-old sprint handicap. The selection finished a good third on her handicap debut last time and is taken to get the better of Live In The Moment who is seeking to record a double have registered a victory at Newcastle on his most recent start while third place can go to Lakeview who has run well over this C&D in the past.
