Blindedbythelights⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 62

2/7

Promising sort. 7/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 4 days ago, plenty in hand. Appeals as the type who will run up a sequence for his shrewd yard and hard to oppose under a penalty here.

Form: 769-1

(2)

Caraxes^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 62

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, good to firm) 25 days ago. In good hands but sizeable step forward needed.

Form: 76-87

(8)

Fullforward¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: M Madgwick| OR: 59

10/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, firm, 4/1) 17 days ago. Each-way chance.

Form: 1-62426

(3)

Dovena²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 57| D

11/1

Winner at Brighton in May. 10/3, fourth of 7 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Strong contender for place money.

Form: 4-35614

(9)

Royal Athena²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hector Crouch| T: T Ward| OR: 56

16/1

Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 24 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 306-585

(10)

Little Tiger²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 56

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Best to look elsewhere from a win point of view.

Form: 070-5

(6)

Limelight^h,t1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 55

40/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 18/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 987-649

(7)

Star Sight^h²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: D Menuisier| OR: 51

50/1

12/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Hood back on and would be in with a serious each-way chance if reproducing form of her near-miss in a Chelmsford nursery last November.

Form: 002-660

Forecasts

Blindedbythelights (2/7), Caraxes (9/1), Fullforward (10/1), The Pug (10/1), Dovena (11/1), Royal Athena (16/1), Little Tiger (22/1), Deshi Girl (33/1), Limelight (40/1), Star Sight (50/1)

BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS made a winning handicap debut in a better-quality race than this at Yarmouth last week and he is very difficult to oppose under a penalty, particularly given the obvious scope for improvement that he possesses. Fullforward and Dovena are taken to fill the places, in that order of preference, though Star Sight would also be a contender for minor money if reproducing her peak form.
