(9)

Eagle Path³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: I Mohammed| OR: 66

17/2

Gleneagles filly who showed ability in a couple of 7f maidens last summer and possibly needed first start for 9 months when sixth in 8-runner Newmarket maiden (7f) in April. Drops back in trip for handicap bow and market may prove best guide.

Form: 37-6

(11)

Abbie Power^p,t⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| BF

18/1

40/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago, holding every chance having raced close up. Needs to find some improvement for the return to 6f.

Form: 680-425

(10)

Politicism¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 65

50/1

Churchill filly who showed some promise amidst greenness on second of 3 starts in novice/maiden events at up to 6f last year. Well below best final start but entitled to hold more chance now handicapping on return.

Form: 739-

(3)

Woodlands Charm¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63| CD

16/1

Steadily progressive in nurseries last summer, landing a C&D event prior to following up at Catterick in August. Shaped as if she'd strip fitter for her Wolverhampton return in April and not discounted back at this venue.

Form: 86116-5

(2)

Miss Britain⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: G Tutty| OR: 63

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran best race yet when third of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago, deservig of a little extra credit having raced on the far flank. Worth a second look.

Form: 76-33

(4)

Prayer Matt⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| BF

7/2

Maiden who made a solid start to the campaign, filling the frame in pair of Catterick handicaps in April. Not seen to best effect at Thirsk (6f) subsequently and he's certainly not one to write off.

Form: 360-330

(14)

Hulton Ranger¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 59

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good, 33/1) 12 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 58000

(12)

Eldeyaar⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 57

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran best race to date when sixth of 19 in handicap (50/1) at Thirsk (6f) 8 days ago, that despite being hampered start. Possible he can do better still.

Form: 4646

(6)

Heart Of Kabeir²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, thirteenth of 19 in nursery at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in October, always behind. Betting may prove a useful guide on return to action.

Form: 68380-

(1)

Make A Prophet^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 55

18/1

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 20 days ago, close up entering final 1f and fading. Feasible to think he can step up on that run and cheekpieces may put an extra edge on him.

Form: 84990-6

(7)

Moon Bay¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 54

9/1

Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good, 10/3) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. Each-way possibilities returned to 6f.

Form: 8-36724

(5)

Act Of Passion¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 53| D

50/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 17 days ago, hanging left over 1f out and weakening. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 1209-86

(8)

Tilsworth Ony Ta¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: C Lee| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 52

9/1

11/2, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Needs to transfer improvement showed on AW back on turf.

Form: 07-5326

(13)

Lincoln Pride²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D O'Meara| OR: 51

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good) 20 days ago, running green under 2f out and no further impression. Still, in good hands and progress not ruled out now attentions switched to handicaps.

Form: 6-06

Forecasts

Miss Britain (3/1), Prayer Matt (7/2), Eldeyaar (8/1), Eagle Path (17/2), Tilsworth Ony Ta (9/1), Moon Bay (9/1), Woodlands Charm (16/1), Hulton Ranger (16/1), Make A Prophet (18/1), Abbie Power (18/1), Lincoln Pride (18/1), Politicism (50/1), Act Of Passion (50/1), Heart Of Kabeir (66/1)

A number arrive with claims including low-mileage MISS BRITAIN. She ran her best race yet and was deserving of a little extra credit having raced on the flank when third at Thirsk (6f) 8 days ago. She shades the vote over Eldeyaar and Prayer Matt, whilst Woodlands Charm also makes some appeal returned to this venue.
