First Experience^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: L Carter| OR: 76

6/1

Winner off a 6lb lower mark at Sandown in first time visor back in september but disappointing on turf subsequently. Has finished third the last twice, including over a mile here a month ago with the runner-up and well beaten sixth both successful since. Ridden with more restraint than for her Sandown success of late and interesting to see how she fares in this with cheekpieces replacing the visor.

Skidby Mill⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: G Baker| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 75

7/2

Won over C&D seven times in the past including when making all to beat First Experience here last month. Beaten off her revised mark since in a small field event here but looks to be the main pace angle in the race and likely to try and make all once more.

Form: 124424

Pacolita¹⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 75

8/1

All five wins have been gained over 7f including off a 9lb lower mark at Brighton last july. Unraced since finishing runner-up at Epsom in september, has won here in the past but likely to come on for the run.

Form: 2832-32

Simply Me^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 70

5/4

Dual winner over 7f including off a 4lb lower mark here when returning from a break last time out. Yet to finish outside the first three in four AW outings and should go well again here.

Form: 53212-1

Italian Beauty^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 67

40/1

All five career wins have come on turf and well held at a big price behind Skidby Mill last time out. Best recent form came in first time cheekpieces when placed in a Wolverhampton claimer in november but two moderate handicap runs since (including when out of the weights on penultimate out) and others are in better form at present.

Tabla⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 66

6/1

Sole win came over today's C&D and burst blood vessels when third here earlier this month. Held by Skidby Mill on that form but placed off this mark over C&D last june.

Form: 6254-63

(9)

Golly Miss Molly^b¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Martin Lane| T: J Gask| OR: 64

25/1

All three wins have come over considerably further than today's trip and hasn't raced over today's trip since november 2014. Yard out of form at present and probably best watched on her return from a six month absence.

Form: 085-698

(6)

Lemon Thyme^h²⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: M Dwyer| T: M Murphy| OR: 60

66/1

Signs of promise in a hood over an extended mile on her second start in a Wolverhampton maiden last march but hood left off when well held on turf debut at Nottingham a month later. Absent since and hood returns for today's handicap debut.

Form: 48-5900

SKIDBY MILL has been in good form of late winning two of her last four outings and looks likely to be allowed a relatively easy lead here . The mare finished runner-up here a week ago in a small field but can get back to winning ways off the same mark by making all to defeat First Experience who's trainer and jockey have a 22% strike rate when teaming up while Simply Me can follow up her victory over 7f here a fortnight ago by running another solid race for her trainer. 1.
