Crow's Nest¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 82| D

9/2

Already a winner of 2 sprint novice events this month. More will be needed to extend the winning run to 3 now switching to handicap company but further improvement would come as no surprise.

Form: 311

Girl Magic³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 80| D

4/1

Left her first 2 efforts this season behind when landing a 6f Lingfield handicap (good to firm) a month ago. Ought to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise.

Form: 221-471

(7)

Fox Master³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 76| D

6/1

Made a successful debut at Newcastle in January. Placed in 6f handicaps on turf on his last 2 starts and his lightly-raced profile provides hope for better still.

Form: 1532

Knebworth²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: R Hughes| OR: 76| D

9/2

Bagged 3 AW wins last year. Has found life tougher in handicaps this time round but it has been at Class 2/3 level and no surprise were he to make more of an impact in this lower grade. Hood worn last time is left off.

Form: 8-49766

Just A Spark³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: B R Millman| OR: 74| BF

12/1

Progressive on AW, completing a hat-trick in 5f Southwell handicap in April. Has come up short in turf handicaps on her last 3 starts but her latest Salisbury run can be forgiven as she met plenty of trouble.

Form: 111397

Fierce¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 72

10/3

Still a maiden but he ran well on the back of a gelding operation when second of 9 at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Player if in the same form.

Form: 234-342

(2)

Hello Arthur¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: C Allen| OR: 71

13/2

Fair form. Pulled hard in blinkers when 6 lengths fourth over 7f at Salisbury 13 days ago and now drops in trip minus the headgear. Others are more obvious.

Form: 634534

Premiere Beauty³³

Forecasts

Fierce (10/3), Girl Magic (4/1), Crow's Nest (9/2), Knebworth (9/2), Fox Master (6/1), Hello Arthur (13/2), Premiere Beauty (15/2), Just A Spark (12/1)

If PREMIERE BEAUTY comes on for last month's Haydock reappearance run she might be the way to go. Fierce will be a threat if in the same form as when second at Lingfield last week, while the William Buick-ridden Crow's Nest will likely be popular on the back of two novice wins this month.
