Monsieur Fudge^b1¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: D Egan| T: George Scott| OR: 76

15/2

Fairly useful maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October, albeit not helped by position from a difficult draw. Gelded/equipped with blinkers ahead of this return to action and no great surprise to see him back to form.

Form: 3/248-

Stay In The Game²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 78

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden who began last season with an improved display, runner-up in a Beverley novice (10f) 12 months ago. However, off the track since finishing seventh of 8 on handicap debut back there in August and the betting can prove a useful guide back in this company.

Form: 33/27-

(4)

Free Pic²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D C Costello| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

200/1

Free Eagle filly who was at long odds and offered little when seventh of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 21 days ago, weakening 2f out. Best watched.

Form: 7

(6)

Jolie Coeur Allen^h¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam

250/1

Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Wille Mullins. Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 150/1, last of 10 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) in November, very slowly away and beaten a long way out. Passed over.

Form: 40-

(3)

Aye Up Tom²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: S England

250/1

Dragon Dancer gelding. 100/1, last of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 21 days ago, always behind.

Form: 9

(2)

Gloriously Sassy²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

3/1

Cotai Glory gelding who isn't without hope on paper and offered something to work on when fourth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 14/1) on debut 21 days ago. In good hands and he's entitled to progress.

Form: 4

(8)

Tawasol^t¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| BF

4/5

Havana Grey colt who left his debut form well behind after 4 months off/wind surgery when second of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in December, running on late. Open to further improvement and he holds leading claims back on turf.

Form: 02-

(10)

Grizzieblanca¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 11 days ago, keeping on without being knocked about. Rates a likely type to make her mark in handicaps after this.

Form: 86

(5)

Hyzenthlay Rah¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Sexton| T: N Wilson

250/1

3,500 gns yearling, Rumble Inthejungle filly. Last of 7 in novice (200/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 7

(9)

Sweet Kiss

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

20/1

Ulysses filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1¼m winner Highwaygrey and 1m winner Delgrey Boy. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 8.6f winner). Betting can guide.

Forecasts

Tawasol (4/5), Gloriously Sassy (3/1), Stay In The Game (4/1), Monsieur Fudge (15/2), Sweet Kiss (20/1), Grizzieblanca (50/1), Free Pic (200/1), Jolie Coeur Allen (250/1), Aye Up Tom (250/1), Hyzenthlay Rah (250/1)

TAWASOL left his debut effort well behind when runner-up in a Wolverhampton novice back in December and, with further progress anticipated, the son of Havana Grey is fancied to make it third time lucky. 4-y-o's Monsieur Fudge and Stay In The Game hold claims on the pick of their form, whilst Gloriously Sassy is another open to improvement.
