(12)

Regal Glory⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 51| C

15/2

Course winner (7f) in December. Below form on turf last 2 starts, twelfth of 14 in handicap (17/2) at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Return to all-weather should suit, but has widest draw to overcome.

Form: 1-34480

Asian Queen^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 51

Form: 43-3575

(9)

Struck Gold¹³⁴

9/2

Showed improved form on his first try at sprinting when second of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) in January. Could have more to offer back in a handicap.

Form: 908-02

(2)

Tranquillity^t⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 49

11/2

After 6 months off, fared little better in first-time tongue strap when sixth of 17 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 28/1) 55 days ago. Needs to find improvement with her reappearance run behind her.

Form: 0480-6

(8)

Ricardo Ofworthing⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: S Dow| OR: 47

9/1

No better than mid-division in a trio of starts this year, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 16/1) 66 days ago. Has been gelded since.

Form: 375-757

(1)

Hawkes Bay^b1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: A West| OR: 47

18/1

Failed to come on for recent run when eleventh of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to soft, 16/1) 10 days ago. Much more required with blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 8007-50

(4)

Kay Ceraar^p⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Callan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

33/1

After making the frame on his handicap debut has finished well held both subsequent outings, last of 12 at Kempton (7f, 100/1) 45 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 90-0400

(7)

Bodega Nights^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S Kirk| OR: 45

100/1

Has shown little form so far, last of 13 in handicap at Bath (1m, good to firm, 125/1) 15 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkered for 1st time, but she remains best watched.

Form: 9-0050

(6)

Havana Heat⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C Hills| OR: 45| BF

7/2

Well backed (11/4), but was too free/green when twelfth of 13 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 84 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better, though, and he's an interesting contender having been gelded ahead of handicap debut.

Form: 08-00

Forecasts

Havana Heat (7/2), Struck Gold (9/2), Tranquillity (11/2), Savannah Smiles (15/2), Regal Glory (15/2), Ricardo Ofworthing (9/1), Carry On Aitch (11/1), Asian Queen (11/1), Lahina Bay (18/1), Hawkes Bay (18/1), Kay Ceraar (33/1), Bodega Nights (100/1)

HAVANA HEAT wasn't able to justify strong support when too free/green on his latest outing, but having been gelded since he could yet do better now handicapping. He is taken to get the better of Struck Gold, who showed improved form dropped back to 6f last time, while Asian Queen could have more to offer as she goes up in trip.
