Colors Of Freedom²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 66| D

5/1

Completed a 4-timer at Lingfield in January. Had 2 month break and ran respectably when sixth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (5f) 24 days ago. Makes turf debut.

Form: 1-11176

(5)

Cuban Grey^p,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 66| D

10/3

Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 9/2, below that level when fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 24 days ago but remains one to be positive about having just his third outing on turf.

Form: 252914

Don't Fight It¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: S Woodman| OR: 63| D

80/1

Down the field last 2 starts, first run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when last of 7 in nursery (66/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) in December. Has enough to prove at present.

Form: 432197-

Beauld As Brass²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 59

11/5

Winner at Kempton in October. 6/1, shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when eighth of 11 in handicap at same track (6f) 4 weeks ago.

Form: 43231-8

(7)

Imperiousity¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 56

4/1

11/4 and blinkered for 1st time, too free when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Probably not straightforward, so percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes.

Form: 068-324

(2)

Mick Says No¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55

22/1

Failed to land a blow when sixth of 7 on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/1) 15 days ago. Makes turf debut. Others more persuasive.

Form: 9246

(8)

Furnicoe²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Appleby| OR: 52

8/1

14/1, below form tenth of 17 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 26 days ago. Seems to have gone off the boil so can only be watched.

Form: 225470

(6)

Pearly Gaits¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: W G M Turner| OR: 47

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, much improved when second of 5 on handicap debut at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 16 days ago, staying on well. Enters calculations nudged up 1 lb for that near miss.

Form: 00-52

Forecasts

Beauld As Brass (11/5), Cuban Grey (10/3), Imperiousity (4/1), Colors Of Freedom (5/1), Furnicoe (8/1), Pearly Gaits (14/1), Mick Says No (22/1), Don't Fight It (80/1)

PEARLY GAITS left previous efforts behind switched to a handicap when runner-up at Windsor last month and it would be no surprise should she be able to go a place better on this occasion. Cuban Grey was unable to replicate the form of his novice win back in handicap company last time, but he should be in the mix, with Imperiousity another fancied to feature.
