Two Summers²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 60| BF

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 11/4) 21 days ago. Remains on a stiff-looking mark down 2 lb, and she needs to improve now upped in trip.

Form: 454-6

(8)

Phantasy Mac⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M Crehan| T: G Boughey| OR: 59

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) when last seen in November, needing stiffer test. Likely to do better now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 974-

(9)

Alpine Lady⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: A Watson| OR: 59WS

9/1

16/1, first run since leaving James Tate when tenth of 12 in nursery at Kempton (8f) 77 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Down another 3 lb and will be a danger to all if reproducing peak 2-y-o form.

Form: 929480-

Sweetest Company³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell| T: B Haslam| OR: 58

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, good third of 6 in handicap at this C&D 36 days ago. That represented a step forward and, if able to build on that, she shouldn't be far away.

Form: 096-3

(6)

Urban Road⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Paula Muir| T: A D Brown| OR: 58

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 6 in handicap (9/2) at this course (6f) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Significantly back up in trip and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 5-6742

(4)

Tsubaki²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss Julia Engstrom⁽⁷⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 57

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, lost all chance at start. In good hands, but others make more appeal all the same.

Form: 00-79

(3)

Mister Falsetto¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 57

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in maiden (10/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, well positioned. Improvement entirely possible now making the switch to handicap company and he's one to consider.

Form: 07-3

(7)

Foreshadow^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 53

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise his game a notch.

Form: 0086-6

(5)

Connie R²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 45

40/1

Good fifth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 21 days ago, nearest finish. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Parr and she's another who needs to find something extra.

Form: 00-0955

Forecasts

Mister Falsetto (9/4), Phantasy Mac (4/1), Urban Road (9/2), Foreshadow (5/1), Sweetest Company (13/2), Alpine Lady (9/1), Two Summers (25/1), Connie R (40/1), Tsubaki (50/1)

PHANTASY MAC appears to have been brought along gradually with handicaps in mind and, now pitched into one off a very fair-looking opening mark and upped in trip, she is taken to strike. Alpine Lady is well-treated judged on the pick of her 2-y-o form and cannot be ruled out, but on recent evidence Mister Falsetto and Urban Road rate the main dangers.
