Modest mare. Won 11-runner minor event (9/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 4 days ago. High on the shortlist.

Form: 83545-1

Al Tarmaah⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: L Carter| OR: 46

Carry On Aitch^p³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 46

28/1

Poor filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 33/1) 3 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 73086-6

(8)

Heerathetrack^v³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 43

4/1

Unreliable type. Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Sixth of 8 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Visor back on and he's likely to come up short once more.

Form: 895786-

Mazaminsky³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: A West| OR: 10

250/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, first run since leaving Frank Bishop when last of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 35 days ago. Significantly down in trip and she's very hard to warm to.

Form: 00/0-

(4)

Monitola^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 50

15/2

Modest gelding. 20/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Has to be taken seriously at this lowly level.

Form: 805070-

(7)

Sumac^p1³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: C Wallis| OR: 44

12/1

Forecasts

Twistaline (11/8), Al Tarmaah (11/4), Heerathetrack (4/1), Monitola (15/2), Pontius (10/1), Sumac (12/1), College Wizard (20/1), Carry On Aitch (28/1), Apfelstrudel (33/1), Mazaminsky (250/1)

Though yet to shine for present connections, it's still early days for MONITOLA and he would have a major chance if able to reproduce the form of his effort in a Gowran handicap on his final start for Ger Lyons in Ireland. The 4-y-o shades preference ahead of Pontius, while recent Southwell scorer Twistaline and Al Tarmaahm, who returned to form from the out of the blue when going close over a mile here last time, are others to consider.
