3/1

Shaped well when runner-up on belated debut at Kempton (1m) in November. However, it's fair to say that she's failed to build on that in two subsequent starts and improvement needed now pitched into a handicap/switched to turf.

Form: 25-3

13/8

Gambled on and duly improved when dead-heating on her recent handicap debut upped to this trip at Haydock (good). 5 lb rise fair enough and this lightly-raced filly probably has more to offer.

Form: 85-61

Aryaah¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 70| BF| D

11/4

Bagged handicaps over this trip at Bath and Leicester last month. Failed to fire in the Haydock race jointly won by Chips And Rice last time, but no surprise were he to bounce back here with William Buick doing the steering.

Forecasts

Chips And Rice (13/8), Aryaah (11/4), Warm Smile (3/1), Jean Baptiste (9/2)

CHIPS AND RICE took a step forward when sharing the spoils on her handicap bow at Haydock and, with the promise of better to come from this filly, she looks the way to go. Jean Baptiste regained the winning thread at Chester recently and shouldn't be far away, but Aryaah could prove most troublesome if able to get back on track following a low-key display in the aforementioned Haydock race jointly won by Chips And Rice.
