(4)

Full Prime¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: T Ward| OR: 72| D

7/2

Two wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (8/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb rise fair and she's likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 047-311

(7)

Lady Nagin^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: S Woods| OR: 71| D

12/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year. 13/2 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 29 days ago, driven out. Hood retained here and should give another good account but this 5 lb higher mark could be a stumbling block.

Form: 5-41471

(5)

Calluna^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: G Boughey| OR: 71

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 20 days ago (first run following a wind op). Back down in trip and improvement will be needed if she's to play a leading role.

Form: 427-6

(2)

First Of May¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70| D

7/5

Twice-raced winner. 7/2, won 9-runner minor event at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in December. That form is probably fair at best but she's promising nonetheless and mark for this handicap debut doesn't look at all harsh.

Form: 31-

(1)

All In The Hips¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 69| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 2/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 16 days ago, driven out. 2 lb higher back on the AW and should make her presence felt.

Form: 2-51671

(3)

Medici Chapel^t1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 67

6/1

Respectable fourth of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 7/1) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and tongue strap added for this handicap debut. Needs to raise her game.

Form: 35-2334

(6)

Beau Roc²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 66

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, bit below form third of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and sizeable step forward required.

Form: 222-33

(8)

Olympic Quest³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: C G Cox| OR: 65

11/1

8/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 34 days ago. Shouldn't be far away but will need to find some improvement from somewhere if she's to emerge on top.

Form: 7-55234

Forecasts

First Of May (7/5), Full Prime (7/2), Medici Chapel (6/1), All In The Hips (17/2), Beau Roc (11/1), Olympic Quest (11/1), Lady Nagin (12/1), Soaring Eagle (12/1), Calluna (28/1)

The unexposed FIRST OF MAY showed plenty of promise in two starts at the backend of last year and, with the prospect of further progress now switched to handicap company off a potentially handy mark, she could be the answer. Full Prime has been nudged up just 2 lb for her narrow success at Kempton a fortnight ago and won't go down without a fight in her hat-trick bid, while All In The Hips added to her C&D success in March when scoring at Windsor recently and she is also accorded respect.
