Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, last of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford (5f) in November, no room last ½f and finishing with running left. Absent/switched yards since and interesting what the market makes of him here.

Ma Famille⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: C G Cox| OR: 55

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, progressed a little more when second of 7 in maiden at Kempton (5f) 44 days ago, no match for winner. Far less exposed than most and in good hands so further improvement likely now handicapping.

Form: 0-32

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, good fourth of 8 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm) in August, outpaced before rallying final 1f. Stiffer test may well suit ideally moving forward.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 53

20/1

Winner at Lingfield in December. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap back at that venue (7f, AW) 11 days ago. Proved consistent in handicaps to date and she rates an each-way player if proving as effective on turf.

Form: 441-344

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 158 days. Makes handicap debut and betting may prove a useful guide.

Form: 060-

(3)

Exceed^t³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 52

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 3 days ago, outpaced over 1f out and keeping on well last ½f. This slightly longer trip will suit and he's one to be interested if turned out quickly.

Form: 95-542

(4)

Harry With Style^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: J Ryan| OR: 52

28/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 16/1) 11 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 48-4308

(5)

Ok Pal²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| D

12/1

Winner at Kempton in February. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Clearly still in good form and expected to give a good account back down in trip from a handy draw.

Form: 64-3414

(17)

Captain Dandy²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: R A Fahey| OR: 52| D

9/2

Had displayed signs of ability prior to getting off the mark in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 25 days ago, well served by the leaders going off hard in front. Still, he may yet have more to offer from this sort of mark.

Form: 67-4761

(13)

Tranquillity^t1¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sophie Reed⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 51

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 17 in nursery (40/1) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in October. Needs to find good deal of improvement on the back of a break to figure. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 0480-

(14)

Lashes^v1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 51

33/1

Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Muredach Kelly when seventh of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 7 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 096-857

Forecasts

Zous Baby (9/2), Captain Dandy (9/2), Exceed (6/1), Ma Famille (8/1), Mintana (9/1), Twayblade (11/1), Ok Pal (12/1), Furnicoe (14/1), Byefornow (14/1), Regal Glory (20/1), Lukla (20/1), Harry With Style (28/1), Tranquillity (28/1), Kodi Dancer (28/1), Lashes (33/1), Enterprising Lady (50/1), Wrenegade Lad (50/1)

EXCEED ran his best race to date and caught the eye to boot when runner-up at Southwell (5f) 3 days ago, outpaced over 1f out and keeping on well last ½f. He gets the nod to come out on top back on turf from a handy draw. Ma Famille chased home a next-time-out winner at Kempton in February and is feared on handicap debut, with Mintana and Captain Dandy completing the shortlist.
