Lucky Shake¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 68

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden who was bit below form when third of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, soft) 18 days ago, effort 2f out but only one paced. Not discounted on handicap bow.

Form: 4833

(5)

Just A Claim³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: M Crehan⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 64

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden who ran well on form but did prove wayward under pressure when fourth at Thirsk (6f) 31 days ago. Back down to the minimum trip for handicap debut.

Form: 654

(4)

Emporium Flame¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 60

Mehdinah³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

5/2

Looked speedy and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when ninth of 20 in seller at York (6f, good, 28/1) 5 weeks ago. Drop back in trip will suit so holds leading claims on handicap bow.

Form: 559

(2)

Elegant Embrace^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: William Humphrey⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 45

25/1

Forecasts

Lucky Shake (5/2), Mehdinah (5/2), Emporium Flame (7/2), Just A Claim (4/1), Grand Bobby (14/1), Elegant Embrace (25/1)

With all six making their handicap debut the market could prove informative. Preference is for MEHDINAH, who failed to see out 6f when ninth in a seller at York last month but can do better now back at the minimum trip. Emporium Flame should make more of an impact in nurseries so he gets the vote for second, ahead of Lucky Shake.
