Swendab^b,h¹³^{(ex 6)}

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: T J Murphy| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 50

4/1

Carries a 6lb penalty for winning over the minimum trip at Kempton last time out and that looks a stiff enough ask. Add to that the fact that, although he has run well here, he has never won in 17 attempts, so easy to look elsewhere for win purposes.

Dandilion^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: A M Hales| OR: 55

9/4

Modest €7,500 purchase who ran reasonably well in maidens before going close on her handicap introduction last time. Raised 2lb for that effort today, but every chance she can build on it if the draw does not prove to be prohibitive.

Irvine Lady¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 54

12/1

Has put in a couple of moderate efforts in 7f maidens here and at Lingfield lately and not sure that this marked drop in trip is going to suit, so looks one to take on again.

Form: 68-0

(11)

Kodimoor^b,t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D A Parkes⁽⁵⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 52

8/1

Went well over C&D in December from a 1lb higher mark and has put in a few consistent efforts, which cannot always be found in runners of this ability. Not discounted.

Form: 4228-36

(6)

Molly Jones²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Fahy| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 51

40/1

All five career wins have been on turf and has made the frame just three times from 21 attempts on the AW. Again looks worth opposing, especially given recent efforts.

Form: 68-7874

Give Us A Belle^t,v⁹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 47

12/1

Six of his seven career success have come over C&D, the most recent being this time last year from 10lb higher. Keeps throwing in the odd good effort amid some disappointments and with a decent draw he cannot be confidently ruled out.

Form: 4-72985

(3)

Pull The Pin^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby⁽³⁾| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 46

33/1

Most recent win was over C&D in November 2013. Slipping down the weights as a result of that barren spell and recent efforts do not sufficiently inspire to recommend involvement.

Form: 2068-00

(9)

Chandresh^v²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 46

16/1

0-17 career profile, though one of her better efforts was when runner-up here in December from 2lb higher. Not got the best of draws here and headgear again swapped, though has responded well enough to such changes previously. Considered.

Form: 62-4544

(5)

Just Over^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 45

100/1

5lb drop since being well beaten on her handicap debut at Kempton (6f). Not badly drawn, claimer lightens the load and first-time cheek pieces might just galvanise him on his first try over the minimum trip.

Form: 68-8808

(1)

Times In Anatefka^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: M Harley| T: A B Joyce| OR: 45

11/4

Both career wins came back-to-back at Dundalk in 2014 and a reasaonbly consistent performer in defeat since, though no obvious reason why he should suddenly end his drought today.

Form: 47-3511

Emerald Bay¹¹

T: Ronald Thompson J: A Mullen

Forecasts

Dandilion (9/4), Times In Anatefka (11/4), Swendab (4/1), Kodimoor (8/1), Give Us A Belle (12/1), Irvine Lady (12/1), Chandresh (16/1), Pull The Pin (33/1), Molly Jones (40/1), Emerald Bay (50/1), Just Over (100/1)

Dandilion should go well here but has a tricky draw to contend with, while Kodimoor is another who should be involved in the shake-up long with the apparently well treated Give Us A Belle, though a hopeful vote goes to JUST OVER, who is dropped in trip sporting first-time headgear and looks to be on the sort of mark where he may be capable of striking. 1. Just Over 2. Kodimoor 3. Dandilion
