Hidden Stash^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 60| C

8/1

Winner around Brighton who wore a visor for the first time when just a respectable fourth over 6f last time out off a 2lb higher mark. Looks capable of taking a hand again in this lowly grade.

Form: 77-3664

(13)

Golden Eye²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 59

10/1

Can be given a chance on the best of his juvenile form but his recent form would leave him with questions to answer here. Well beaten on the AW last time out when last of nine at Chelmsford.

Form: 3835-09

(7)

Fair Selene^v1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gavin Lerena| T: H Main| OR: 58

10/1

Visor goes on for the first time as she bids to improve on her sixth at Wolverhampton last time out over 7f. Never really on terms there although shaped as though this longer trip will suit.

Form: 54395-6

(16)

Pass The Cristal²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: W R Muir| OR: 56

7/1

Appeared to take a step forward on his previous form when second on his handicap debut last time out. Looks to still have some potential (plenty of these don't) and just needs to settle a little better to have a decent chance.

Form: 689-2

(8)

Sixties Habana²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: P Phelan| OR: 55| D

9/1

Most of his form in handicaps has been fairly modest and the only win so far came in a 7f Yarmouth seller. Well below form last time out when returning from a break.

Form: 8847-76

(1)

Shouldertoshoulder⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Bentley| T: S C Williams| OR: 54

11/1

Hinted at ability on his debut over 7f but hasn't quite lived up to that promise in two runs since over 6f. Makes his seasonal/handicap debut now for a yard that do well with this type and worth watching in the market as he's back over 7f.

Form: 8-59

(5)

Fanfair²⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 54

14/1

From a leading yard but yet to win a race (unplaced on all starts) and makes her seasonal debut after two previous tries in handicaps. Given her connections she may have more to offer off what is now a career low mark.

Form: 85958-

(2)

Venetian Proposal^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 52

25/1

Like many in this field still to win a race and hasn't run on turf since her debut as a juvenile. Previous runs in headgear have been disappointing and hard to see her making an impression.

Form: 0904-68

(15)

Sweet Pursuit²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman| OR: 51

6/1

Appeared to take a step forward on her handicap debut after a long absence last time out over 7f on the AW. Her pedigree looks useful and with her stable running well at the moment she did well to get placed from a poor draw and on that form would be a player here.

Form: 708-3

(3)

Iron Lady²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: W R Muir| OR: 50

16/1

Looks to be the second string for the yard and makes her handicap debut after some fairly modest efforts in three maiden runs.

Form: 066-

(9)

Neptune Star^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Gask| OR: 49

12/1

First of two runners from this stable in this who shaped well enough on her handicap debut last time out at Beverley. Held-up in the rear on that run (took a strong hold) the late headway she made suggestions that she may have a little more to offer.

Form: 9846

(10)

Aberdonian¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: J Gask| OR: 49

33/1

Didn't look to make much progress when making his handicap debut at Wolverhampton over 6f and makes his turf debut. Steps up to 7f but hasn't shown much promise so far and his stable mate would be preferred amongst others.

Form: 660-8

(4)

Whatalove⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Keighley| OR: 47

8/1

Might have a little bit more to offer than her mark suggests and has travelled well in some of her races this year. Can do a little too much for at times and fail to settle but has some ability.

Form: 05-3526

(6)

Joy¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 45

33/1

Starting price has lengthened in each of her three runs as her form has regressed and makes her turf/handicap debut.

Form: 608

(12)

Taurean Gold²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Ryan Powell| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

33/1

Very little to show for his four runs so far this year and even a switch to handicaps last time failed to elicit any improvement.

Form: 6070

Forecasts

Sweet Pursuit (6/1), Pass The Cristal (7/1), Whatalove (8/1), Hidden Stash (8/1), Sixties Habana (9/1), Fair Selene (10/1), Golden Eye (10/1), Shouldertoshoulder (11/1), Neptune Star (12/1), Fanfair (14/1), Beach Dancer (14/1), Iron Lady (16/1), Venetian Proposal (25/1), Aberdonian (33/1), Joy (33/1), Taurean Gold (33/1)

A low-grade handicap but there may be a few in here capable of progress with Pass The Cristal being one of those although she does need to just settle a little better a comment that could also be leveled at Neptune Star. Shouldertoshoulder should be watched in the market given his connections having hinted at ability in the past with Fair Selene another who can’t be left out of the equation. Whatalove is rare Flat runner for his mainly jumps based yard but is of interest as is top weight Hidden Stash but overall the narrow vote goes to SWEET PURSUIT. She looks better than she has shown so far and on her pedigree may well just be better than her lowly mark.
