(7)

Gloryella^b²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: B Rothwell| OR: 39

200/1

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Well below best when last of 11 in a Southwell handicap (7f) 3 weeks ago and easy enough to look elsewhere back in a maiden.

Form: 888-950

(3)

Hellavaheart¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P D Evans

125/1

Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, always behind. Likely type for low-grade handicaps in due course.

Form: 08

(1)

Outsmart¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 75

6/4

Lightly-raced gelding who matched previous best when just failing to get up in a Wolverhampton minor event (8.6f) in October. A repeat should see him feature back from 5 months off.

Form: 2332-

(2)

Spells At Dawn

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S H James| T: A French

11/1

Dawn Approach gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7.4f winner Mu'ajiza out of sister to Fantastic Light. Betting should prove a useful guide ahead of racecourse debut.

Form:

(5)

High Born Eagle

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

12/1

Free Eagle filly. Dam ungenuine winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner). Betting should unearth some clues ahead of debut.

Form:

(6)

Saorla¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding

2/1

Twice-raced filly who improved on debut form when second of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, still showing signs of greenness. Sound claims with more to come.

Form: 6-2

(4)

Wheal Kitty³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 64

16/5

Fair filly. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 16/1) 31 days ago, nearest finish. No surprise to see her give another good account.

Form: 73836-3

Forecasts

Outsmart (6/4), Saorla (2/1), Wheal Kitty (16/5), Spells At Dawn (11/1), High Born Eagle (12/1), Hellavaheart (125/1), Gloryella (200/1)

SAORLA stepped up on her debut effort despite still showing signs of greenness when runner-up in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f) 18 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, she could be the answer. Outsmart proved consistent as a 2-y-o and is a player, whilst Wheal Kitty can also get in the mix.
