Super Saint^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 102

7/4

Showed more than previously in this sphere when third of 10 in novice at Taunton (19f, soft) 35 days ago. Rare runner for yard here and must be taken seriously on handicap debut.

Form: 46-P93

Maggies Boy¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 98

9/2

Hinted at ability in a bumper and 3 starts over timber, latest when good fifth of 12 in novice at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip for handicap debut and is worth monitoring in the market.

Form: 4-855

Love True^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

9/4

Posted best effort to date when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft, 6/1) 19 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds strong claims.

Form: 53-42F2

Far Away West¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: H Burns| OR: 83

22/1

Posted solid second at Catterick (15.7f) on first start for Dan Skelton in January but failed to build on that at Huntingdon last time and has now switched to a new yard.

Form: 043626

Chester Tonik^t⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 76

7/2

Modest Flat winner at 10f but hard to draw many positives from exploits in this sphere, down the field all 3 starts since switched to handicaps. Plenty more needed.

Form: 6P-7890

Forecasts

Super Saint (7/4), Love True (9/4), Chester Tonik (7/2), Maggies Boy (9/2), Independent Jimmy (8/1), Far Away West (22/1)

LOVE TRUE pulled clear of the rest when second at Huntingdon last month and can race off the same mark here. She gets the nod. Handicap-debutants Super Saint and Maggies Boy look the likeliest dangers.
