Fairy Dust^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 92| D

6/1

Highly tried after winning a novice at Windsor though her standout effort when second in listed race at Newbury is backed up by the timefigure. Opening mark is a stiff one even on that form, however.

Form: 21204-7

Bimble³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: H Candy| OR: 84| BF| CD

13/8

C&D maiden winner last summer. All the better for return when runner-up in useful handicap here 5 weeks ago and big player back against her own sex.

Form: 1249-52

(2)

Operatic²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 89| D

7/1

Left debut well behind when landing 6f novice events at Windsor and Kempton in September. Unsuited by testing conditions at Newmarket on final start and she remains with potential.

Form: 8110-

Minhaaj²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 78

18/1

Made a winning start for this yard in a fast-ground Sandown handicap (5f) last summer. Excuses both starts this season, but others make greater appeal.

Form: 9530-57

Isabella Swan^b⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 79| D

10/1

Much improved fitted with blinkers last 2 starts, winning at Bath on final 2-y-o run before following up in good style there on return 7 weeks ago. Hit with a big rise but remains of interest.

Form: 77491-1

Lovely Breeze³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer| OR: 78

9/2

Lightly-raced winner who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 8 on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/2) but failed to build on that at Newmarket next time.

Form: 312-64

(1)

Arion Fox²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 76| BF| D

6/1

Much improved when making a winning handicap bow at Kempton (6f) on final 2-y-o start and further progress when just denied by a subsequent winner at Chelmsford on return. Player.

Form: 0861-2

Forecasts

Bimble (13/8), Lovely Breeze (9/2), Fairy Dust (6/1), Arion Fox (6/1), Operatic (7/1), Isabella Swan (10/1), Minhaaj (18/1)

OPERATIC seemed unsuited by the testing conditions at Newmarket on her final 2-y-o start but her novice wins have a strong look to them and she remains with potential now handicapping on return. Bimble was a good second in a useful C&D handicap last time and is one to be positive about, while Arion Fox and Isabella Swan are both progressive.
