9/2

After 4 weeks off (gelded), much improved under change of tactics when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (20/1) 26 days ago, making all. May do better still.

17/2

Completed hat-trick in January, successful twice here including over C&D. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (8/1) at this course (8.6f) 51 days ago. Merits consideration back down in trip/grade.

Following a wind op, not seen to best effect when 2¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Rossmore Nation on handicap debut at Southwell (6.1f, 28/1) 37 days ago, short of room 1f out. Could do better back up in trip.

22/1

Again ran to only a modest level when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 80/1) 15 days ago. Improvement required now handicapping.

7/2

Shaped well when 4¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Fayasel on handicap debut at this C&D 26 days ago, left poorly placed from widest draw. Could be able to get off the mark this time around.

Made Of Lir¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Joanna Mason| T: S England| OR: 57

150/1

Won at Lingfield in January on final outing for Archie Watson. However, down the field all 3 starts since, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 80/1) 15 days ago. Has work to do up in distance.

Forecasts

Rossmore Nation (7/2), Sparks Fly (7/2), Mr Gloverman (7/2), Fayasel (9/2), Olympic Quest (8/1), Phoenix Glow (8/1), Tennessee Dream (17/2), We'renotreallyhere (20/1), Timedtoperfection (22/1), Made Of Lir (150/1)

SPARKS FLY shaped well at this C&D last time, nearest at the finish having been left poorly placed from the widest draw, so she remains with potential having only her second start in a handicap. David Loughnane's filly is taken to open her account, with last-time-out C&D winner Fayasel heading the list of dangers, ahead of Rossmore Nation.
