7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in nursery at this course (6.1f) 34 days ago, merely closing up late on the back of a poor start. Significantly up in trip and surprise were she not capable of better.

Brightandbeautiful^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 65

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 7/1) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Remains early days and she appeals as the type who will do better. Back up in trip.

Form: 9434-6

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 65| C

McKenna^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Buckell⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 65

11/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in novice (22/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap fitted for handicap debut and highly likely there's better to come.

Form: 455-

Squires Treaty³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: D Donovan| OR: 64

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 7 in nursery at this C&D (20/1) 38 days ago, headway when hampered over 1f out. Further progress not out of the question on the back of just 4 career starts.

Form: 8763-

(10)

Watkins^t1¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee| T: G Boughey| OR: 64

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 125/1) in September, left behind from 2f out but not unduly punished. Given a 4-month break/now equipped with a tongue tie and the betting can guide as one of 2 handicap debutants from this yard.

Mrbluesky^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

15/2

Signalled his turn was near when runner-up in a C&D handicap on penultimate run. Not disgraced in first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/1) 18 days ago. Better showing anticipated.

Form: 780329-

(8)

Empowered Queen^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 60

10/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, left with plenty to do but running on. Unexposed at this sort of trip.

Form: 684D4-4

Forecasts

McKenna (11/4), Blue Secret (7/2), Tiempo Alegre (7/1), Mrbluesky (15/2), Brightandbeautiful (9/1), Empowered Queen (10/1), Everyoneknowsadave (12/1), Squires Treaty (12/1), Watkins (16/1), Mayor Of Maghera (20/1)

Claims can be made for most here but it would come as a surprise if BLUE SECRET never had a bigger effort in her locker for the William Haggas stable, so she's selected to come out on top on her first crack at 1m. Tiempo Alegre hasn't been shaping at all badly and she's a threat, along with handicap-debutant McKenna. Brightandbeautiful also enters calculations, along with Mrbluesky.
