Steady progress in maidens, though unfancied on handicap debut in December from a mark of 71. 2lb lower today and headgear now applied. Would be very interesting if supported.

7/2
Has gone up 7lb for winning two of her last three starts and headed up a blanket finish over C&D last time, which was a career best effort and no reason to think that she can't put in another very competitive effort.

8/1
Won a Leicester maiden auction when with Giles Bravery and outperformed her 66/1 price when fourth of eight beaten 3½L at Kempton over this trip last time. Has a little base from which to build now and yard had a recent winner, so could do so.

5f maiden winner at the track last August and after a couple of efforts wide of the mark in this sphere she showed a fair bit more last time. Remains on the same mark today and looks in need of a further drop before winning.

9lb higher today than when winning over C&D in January. Although a beaten favourite on both subsequent starts, he has run very creditably in defeat and with her rider's claim she could still have a big say today.

33/1
Well beaten in all three starts in novices' contests but went well enough until eased late on when tried in a handicap last time. That was a reasonable sighter for this, though she has a break to overcome and on balance looks best watched here.

4/1
3lb higher than when taking a Leicester handicap in October and despite going ok on his last two runs here over 1m, he is likely to find at least a couple too good from today's mark.

Came good from a mark of 58 at Chelmsford (1m) in September and not beaten far when trying to follow up from 5lb higher. Up another 1lb for that and comes here fresh from a break, so not ruled out.

Ivor's Magic29
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: D R C Elsworth| OR:  61
20/1
Form of her Newmarket seller win unlikely to cut the mustard in this and looked in need of further assistance from the assessor when tried over C&D last time. Best watched unless the market speaks strongly in her favour.

Masquerade Bling21
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: S Hodgson| OR:  55
9/1
0-12 and has therefore slipped in the weights since enter handicaps, albeit slowly. Decent effort when staying on for second at Kempton last time and not discounted from 1lb higher on her first try here.

Forecasts

Mia Cara (7/2), Wily Rumpus (4/1), Auric Goldfinger (5/1), Altiko Tommy (11/2), Widnes (6/1), Baby Gal (8/1), Masquerade Bling (9/1), Dixie's Double (16/1), Ivor's Magic (20/1), Jasmincita (33/1)

Verdict

A race where a market check is strongly advised, with particular reference to Widnes and Ivor's Magic. Mia Cara and Baby Gal can both be thereabouts, though preference is for AURIC GOLDFINGER, whose claimer can tip the scales in his favour.
  1. Auric Goldfinger
  2. Mia Cara
  3. Baby Gal
