Yet to convince she truly stays 6f. That said, she continues to drop in grade and, despite top weight this evening, cannot be completely ruled out in a modest affair.
Tumbling down the handicap but still very little sign of early form shown when with K Ryan. Yet to reach a place in four runs so far on A/W.
Stayed on nicely over C&D eight days ago so would have every chance of being in the mix tonight if reproducing that effort. Now 14lb lower than in mid-summer last year so handicapped to be competitive.
Placed in 11 of his 21 starts at this track, winning on three ocaasions. Dropped 11lbs since the summer so, despite failing to shine of late, cannot be ruled out off this mark.
Trainer yet to have a winner. First run for new connections and after 15 month absence when eyecatching fourth here last week. Should be a player assuming the 'bounce' factor doesn't come into play and is one of the more likelier types.
Ran far too free on first start after more than four months and unsurprisingly tired quickly here last week. May well be better for the outing and any market support would be of interest with Nathan Evans claiming a valuable 3lb.
Modest but consistent gelding who has been there or thereabouts on each of his last seven starts. Still feasibly weighted if things drop his way, but likely to again find one or two too good yet again.
Eased when beaten when last of 13 here in December but wouldn't be a total no-hoper if returning to the form that saw him score a C&D success in October 2015. Does have something to prove though.
One-time decent sprint handicapper, but very much a light of former days. Continues to plummet in the weights with little sign of light at the end of the tunnel. Hard to recommend.
Unplaced in all 17 starts on the A/W and only appears to show modest form on turf. Failed to stay the 7 furlongs last time but even drop back in trip unlikely to bring about a change of luck on this surface.
Out with the washing in his three starts since joining current trainer and looks ill at ease on artificial surfaces. Very hard to make any case for this gelded son of Dandy Man.
Forecasts
Harmonic Wave (16/5), Kyllach Me (7/2), City Of Angkor Wat (5/1), Top of The Bank (8/1), Burauq (8/1), Socialites Red (8/1), Top Cop (14/1), Tihana (25/1), Smart Dj (25/1), Firgrove Bridge (33/1), Minty Jones (100/1)
In a race that won't take very much winning a chance is taken that TIHANA can give trainer his very first winner. The selection shaped with promise on his first outing for his new connections here last week, and as long as that effort hasn't taken its toll he should be right in the thick of the action. If Kyllach Me settles better today he has the ability to be a factor in proceedings, while the consistent Burauq should once again run his race and also enters calculations.
1. Tihana
2. Kyllach Me
3. Burauq
