Engelbert^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R Coakley| T: J Ferguson| OR: 77| D

7/4

Showed much improved form to make a belated winning handicap debut at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago, bit in hand. Will go on improving and a 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up.

Form: 886-531

(3)

A Taste Of Honey¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 76| CD

4/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 11-runner novice event (5/1) over C&D (AW) in September, holding on gamely. Goes handicapping now after 6 months off and opening mark demands a bit more.

Form: 271-

(2)

Constitution²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 75

100/1

Made a promising debut when runner-up at Newbury in June but has gone the wrong way since. Plenty to prove.

Form: 20-875

(7)

Daytona Lady^h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 72

14/1

Off the mark for current yard at the third attempt at Southwell in February and shaped as if still in good form when fifth in 8-runner handicap at this course (6f, AW, 16/1) 28 days ago, finishing well. Player up in trip.

Form: 03-3715

(5)

Muy Muy Guapo²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 69

25/1

Fair maiden who failed to build on the promise of last run when only seventh of 8 in 6f handicap (14/1) at this course (AW) 28 days ago.

Form: 035-67

(4)

Mister X^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| CD

11/1

Bounced back to form to gain a third success of the winter in 5-runner C&D handicap (AW, 7/2) 26 days ago, just holding on. Should remain competitive.

Form: 11-4261

(1)

The Toff^b⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 67

14/1

8/1, creditable fourth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 47 days ago. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Form: 3465-54

(9)

Risotto¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 65

7/2

Ran best race returning from 5 months off when second of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 13 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Makes handicap debut and will go on improving.

Form: 67-2

(8)

Buy The Dip¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 64

17/2

Showed first form when fifth in 6-runner maiden (25/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More required.

Form: 00-5

Forecasts

Engelbert (7/4), Risotto (7/2), A Taste Of Honey (4/1), Buy The Dip (17/2), Mister X (11/1), The Toff (14/1), Daytona Lady (14/1), Muy Muy Guapo (25/1), Constitution (100/1)

ENGELBERT built on his abundant earlier promise when making a successful start in handicaps at Newcastle 12 days ago and a 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up, especially with further progress on the cards. Risotto shaped well on her return at Chelmsford recently and should have plenty more to offer in handicaps, while Daytona Lady is well worth a try at this trip having finished to good effect on her most recent outing.
