Toby's Time¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonny Peate| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 54

9/1

6¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Pretty Spirited in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 11 days ago. Runner-up effort over C&D prior to that puts him right in the mix here.

Form: 785-727

Pretty Spirited¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Aidan Keeley| T: K Frost| OR: 54

2/1

Arrives on the up, better than ever when supplementing her Leicester win in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 5/1) 11 days ago. A danger to all up 4 lb.

Form: 245411

Dancing Bay^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Candlish| OR: 52

10/3

18/1 and cheekpieces on for first time in this code, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Drop back down in trip looks a good move on tapeta debut.

Form: 65-9994

(3)

Brave Guest⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 51

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 46 days ago. Not yet exposed but he needs to raise his game.

Form: 0670

Keep Talking¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 50

6/1

Fixated⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 49

28/1

Form: 9855

Ballarat Bertie^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: R Hughes| OR: 46| CD

10/1

Opened account over 9.5f here in March. 18/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 23 days ago. May step forward from what was his first run in 3 months there and interesting to note market support.

Form: 415655

(9)

Duffus Castle^b³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 46

13/2

28/1

Thirteenth of 14 in classified event at Brighton (8f, good, 80/1) 31 days ago. Return to the AW will help her cause.

Form: 222050

(4)

Invincible Storm⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

18/1

18/1, sixth of 12 in classified event at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Should fare better back in distance.

Form: 566906

Spinning Dancer¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J S Moore| OR: 45

50/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, good to firm, 50/1) 15 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Pretty Spirited (2/1), Dancing Bay (10/3), Keep Talking (6/1), Duffus Castle (13/2), Toby's Time (9/1), Ballarat Bertie (10/1), Invincible Storm (18/1), Brave Guest (22/1), Magna (28/1), Fixated (28/1), Spinning Dancer (50/1)

TOBY'S TIME has to shrug off a lesser effort behind the reopposing Pretty Spirited (second choice) but he looks a sporting wager to do just that having posted an excellent second to a next-time-out winner on his penultimate start. Ballarat Bertie looks the pick of the remainder.
