King Of York^p⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| C

2/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (7.1f, 3/1) 8 days ago. Consistency is hard to knock and he should go well again under a penalty.

Form: 313231

(6)

Retraction¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving James Horton when good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 18 days ago, running on late without being unduly punished. Scope for better again and he's highly respected.

Form: 2/54-4

(3)

Mumayaz^t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68

9/2

Gained reward for string of consistent efforts when scoring at Newcastle earlier this month and wasn't seen to best effect when sixth there (7.1f, 12/1) last week. Respected.

Form: 244316

(4)

Gioiella^p1⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 67

25/1

Ex-Italian filly was placed on first 2 of 3 starts in Dundalk maidens for Jarlath P. Fahey but finished down the field there last month. Any market support would be most notable on stable debut.

Form: 6572-20

(2)

Big Narstie^b,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| BF| C| D

8/1

Quirky sort but doing little wrong at present, winning twice in the space of 3 days earlier in the month. Not seen to best effect when third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago. Capable of going well again.

Form: 323113

(1)

Great Blasket^b1⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 67| D

11/2

Three wins from 5 runs last year. 4/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 45 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Blinkers on 1st time. Drop back in trip not certain to suit but he has to be respected given current form.

Form: 1-32335

(5)

Turbo Command²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 64| C

15/2

Course winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. 20/1, won 11-runner handicap at here (7.1f) 20 days ago. Up a further 2 lb here but can't be ruled out having rare outing over 1m.

Form: 801-251

(9)

Reams Of Love³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 57

150/1

Last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 100/1) 34 days ago. Impossible to fancy on recent efforts.

Form: 9413/88

Forecasts

King Of York (2/1), Retraction (10/3), Landlordtothestars (4/1), Mumayaz (9/2), Great Blasket (11/2), Turbo Command (15/2), Big Narstie (8/1), Gioiella (25/1), Reams Of Love (150/1)

A new addition to the Ruth Carr yard, RETRACTION shaped most encouragingly on his all-weather/handicap debut here earlier in the month and a chance is taken he'll step forward again with a recent run now under his belt. Last-time-out winner King of York and Landlordtothestars have both proved most consistent throughout the winter and make plenty of appeal again.
