The Hulk¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Boughey| OR: 75| D

7/2

Doubled his tally when winning 4-runner minor event (7/4) at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Has a likeable attitude and return to 6f could bring even more out of him.

Form: 131

(8)

Kevin The Minion^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke| OR: 70

10/3

Good second of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/1) 17 days ago. Going the right way and likely to give another good account.

Form: 832-732

(3)

Blue Hero²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 68

12/1

Third of 4 in handicap (11/4) at this course (8f) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drop back in trip might help, but he's looked vulnerable from this sort of mark for current stable.

Form: 853-243

(4)

Elladora³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 67

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 80/1) 39 days ago. Handicapper has dealt with her rather harshly, so more required if she's to make an impression.

Form: 54-5

(1)

Mollys Brother¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 66

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, third of 5 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Already beginning to look exposed and opening mark doesn't seem all that lenient.

Form: 953

(5)

Out Of The East²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

17/2

Promising type. Fourth of 6 in minor event (11/4) at this C&D 28 days ago, not knocked about. Bred to be better than a mark of 65, so notable handicap debutant for shrewd stable.

Form: 3-54

(9)

Royal Advice¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 65

7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in minor event at this C&D (33/1), not knocked about. Off 109 days. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer, so one to note.

Form: 773-

Tommytwohoots³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 59

11/2

11/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 30 days ago. Form of penultimate start looks strong, so not one to discounted back on tapeta.

Form: 68022-6

Forecasts

Kevin The Minion (10/3), Royal Advice (7/2), The Hulk (7/2), Tommytwohoots (11/2), Out Of The East (17/2), Blue Hero (12/1), The Mousen Champ (12/1), Mollys Brother (14/1), Elladora (16/1)

ROYAL ADVICE shaped well when third over C&D in a race that's been boosted a couple of times since, so he gets the vote to defy an opening mark of 65 in an interesting 3-y-o handicap. Fellow handicap debutante Out of The East strikes as an obvious danger, while a solid showing looks assured from Kevin The Minion
