Hammer The Hammer²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: K A Ryan

1/1

Fair form when making the frame both starts last year, no match for a promising newcomer when second of 4 in maiden at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 9/4) on second outing in July. Could be in the mix after 7 months off.

Form: 42-

(3)

Snow Creek¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Jack Morland

100/1

Still in need of the experience but showed more than on his first start when fifth of 6 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 50/1) 11 days ago, closing up late. Further progress required.

Form: 45

(4)

Sudden Flight²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes

2/1

Made some appeal on paper and shaped well amidst greenness when third of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/3) on debut 20 days ago. Entitled to progress with that experience behind him.

Form: 3

(2)

Youvegotoshowmeluv^t1¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68

18/1

Encouraging third at Catterick on debut but well held both starts since, in first-time hood when fifth of 10 in novice (50/1) at this C&D in October. Tongue strap applied after 4 months off.

Form: 395-

(1)

Bothy Park^p1,h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson

150/1

In hood/tongue strap first time up, shaped as if one for the longer term when sixth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (5f, 66/1) 27 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces added with tongue tie discarded.

Form: 6

(7)

Coeur Jaune²⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| BF

13/2

Made a promising debut when third behind the subsequent Queen Mary winner at Nottingham last summer. Only fifth of 7 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good, 11/8) 2 weeks later, but she's well worth another chance on her return.

Form: 35-

(8)

Mary Murray²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll

200/1

Showed good speed before ultimately finishing well beaten when last of 9 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D on debut 22 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 9

(5)

Queenofdestruction^h1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 74

7/1

Runner-up in 3 of her 5 starts and beaten only 1½ lengths when fourth of 6 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 10/3) 11 days ago. Can make her presence felt with hood on 1st time.

Form: 24-224

Forecasts

Hammer The Hammer (1/1), Sudden Flight (2/1), Coeur Jaune (13/2), Queenofdestruction (7/1), Youvegotoshowmeluv (18/1), Snow Creek (100/1), Bothy Park (150/1), Mary Murray (200/1)

Having shown plenty on debut, COEUR JAUNE had excuses when fifth at Ripon next time, possibly finding the race coming too soon/unsuited by the track, so she is taken to get back on track on her reappearance. She can see off the challenge of Queenofdestruction, who has yet to finish out of the frame, with Sudden Flight also considered.
