Arsenio Lupin^t1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: D P Quinn

100/1

Sixth foal who is a half-brother to three winners including the 7f-1m winner Tenbridge. Given his connections, he's likely to need this first outing and others preferred.

Form: 343

(10)

Critical Thinking⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden

25/1

Two modest starts so far over 7f both on AW running to a similar level on both. Looks as though he'll be suited by further but work to do with the principals here.

Form: 624133

(6)

Indian Dandy³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Botti

7/1

First foal by Dandy Man out of an Indian Danehill mare who ran in bumpers. Yard have a reasonable record in this type of race and he needs looking at here.

Form: 121

(5)

Palermo

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: M Wigham

5/2

Makes his debut here and is a half-brother to the 10f-12f winner Thomas Hobson and mile winner La Superba. Stable not noted for maiden winners but the booking of Adam Kirby takes the eye.

Salt Whistle Bay⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest

8/1

Once-raced maiden who was well held at Newmarket on his only start in October. Run looked as though it was needed and may fare a little better here.

Form: 7-4

(7)

State Residence²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: D M Simcock

12/1

Third foal by Arcano who makes his debut here for a powerful yard and won't surprise if he could make a successful debut.

Form: 844600

(3)

Traveller^t⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: C Hills

5/1

Showed promise on his one AW start as a juvenile at Chelmsford. Ran green on that debut run but showed that ability was there and could well step forward on that run.

Form: 5-531

(4)

Naupaka²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: B Ellison

6/1

Showed definite improvement from her debut at Newcastle last time out when third in a juvenile maiden. Stayed on without looking dangerous but could take another step forward here.

Form: 935608

(8)

Pattie²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: M R Channon| OR: 72

4/1

Matched debut run last time out on her third start with a second at Wolverhampton over an extended 1m1f on her first AW start. A repeat of that run would be see her go close to breaking her maiden here.

Form: 432-2

(2)

Surfside¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon

50/1

Stablemate of Pattie and the likely second string from that yard, has some useful relations but could just need this experience.

Form: 787

Life Happens¹⁸

Weight: 9-0| Age: 3

Forecasts

Palermo (5/2), Pattie (4/1), Traveller (5/1), Naupaka (6/1), Indian Dandy (7/1), Salt Whistle Bay (8/1), State Residence (12/1), Critical Thinking (25/1), Life Happens (33/1), Surfside (50/1), Arsenio Lupin (100/1)

PATTIE is one of two Mick Channon runners here but is the pick of the duo and she looks the sort who is improving with each run and should be able to go close to breaking her maiden here. Traveller could well improve on his only run so far and looks up to winning a race such as this while Naupaka is another likely improver here in a decent maiden for the time of year. 1. Pattie 2.
