Athmad⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 81| CD

3/1

Is proving consistent and needed only a little progress to come out on top in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 635-361

(3)

Hathlool³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| BF| D

11/8

Hooded for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/4) 39 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Remains one to bear in mind.

Form: 02141-4

(6)

Star Of St James¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| CD

7/2

Took advantage of a slipping mark to resume winning ways in 9-runner handicap at this C&D (14/1) 17 days ago, responding well. 3 lb rise fair and ought to go well again.

Form: 5888-41

(5)

Early Morning Dew¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: P D Niven| OR: 69

11/1

Forecasts

Hathlool (11/8), Athmad (3/1), Star Of St James (7/2), Straitouttacompton (8/1), Early Morning Dew (11/1), Peripeteia (33/1)

HATHLOOL was unsuited by the way the race developed at Chelmsford last time and still looks on a good mark, so he remains of firm interest. Athmad and Star of St James are a pair of credible rivals in opposition, though.
