Oberyn⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 63

2/1

Stayed on well to land a maiden here latest - an effort which sets the standard as far as the handicapper is concerned. Expect a bold show if she takes another stride forward. Interesting that he missed an intended run at Lingfield yesterday (the same race where Tigerfish finished fourth).

Warba²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: M Moubarak| OR: 62

11/2

Improved effort in a seller last time out and is likely to improve for the step up in trip. More to do here but is respected as one that has the scope to progress now her stamina is being tested.

Form: 052-797

Sentinel³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 60

6/4

Not much to show so far and is best watched on this handicap debut.

Form: 06

Mia Cara⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: P D Evans| OR: 60

8/1

Exposed as ordinary and makes limited appeal on her Wolverhampton debut.

Magic Journey^b⁹

7/1

Best effort when a well beaten third over C&D last November. Big improvement needed.

Form: 93-8357

Young Officer^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jordan Uys⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 55

14/1

Wear cheekpieces for the first time - no doubt in the hope that it triggers the gelding's interest. His form is poor up to press and is very easy to rule out of any betting plans.

Form: 08

Trust The Indian⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: W G M Turner| OR: 49

33/1

Has run repectably in claimer/sellers but plenty more needed here and he lacks scope for improvement.

Form: 26554

Tranquil Tracy³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Adam Beschizza| T: J R Norton| OR: 48

80/1

Very easy to rule out - he has finished in front of only nine horses in a total of five previous races.

Form: 70-4667

Quintessential¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 45

50/1

Has shown a total lack of pace in three previous starts - not destined to be one of trainer's stable stars for 2017 judging by what he has done up to now.

Forecasts

Sentinel (6/4), Oberyn (2/1), Warba (11/2), Magic Journey (7/1), Mia Cara (8/1), Young Officer (14/1), Tigerfish (14/1), Trust The Indian (33/1), Quintessential (50/1), Tranquil Tracy (80/1)

A very weak race which can go to OBERYN, who sets the standard and will be hard to beat, assuming there is nothing amiss after he missed an engagement at Lingfield yesterday. Tigerfish is forwarded as the next best, while Warba could be the one to capitalise if her main rivals have an off day. 1. Oberyn 2. Tigerfish 3. Warba
