Now 5lb below his winning mark for Redcar in October (5f, good), and he has probably run better races than the form figures suggest in his three appearances since then. No issue with the ground or draw and needs considering.
Slightly inconsistent sort who is on an interesting handicap mark and would be right there on the best of his form, but can't always be expected to replicate that. Back down to his optimum trip now.
Hasn't quite shown the form of previous seasons yet this term but she is now getting to a very appealing mark and should be challenging for a place at the very least.
0/11 in her career but probably needed her first run for this stable with a much more convincing display last time out. Down 2lb in the handicap and is young enough to suggest that there could be more improvement to come.
Veteran sprinter who is still very much capable of winning but doesn't look to be on a particularly appealing handicap mark at the moment. Much more effective in softer ground and seems to be the stable's second string.
Sole win to date came at Newcastle on his last run of 2016, but he has run on turf in the past as well and is now back down to that last winning mark, and so is entitled to have a say.
Won back-to-back races in early 2016 but hasn't been able to replicate that level of form since, despite running some solid races since. Still can't quite be trusted for win purposes, but no surprise to see him go close.
17 race maiden who makes her first appearance on turf since last July. Plenty to prove on the basis of her moderate all-weather form, and races from slightly out of the handicap.
No win since December 2014 (on the all-weather), and remains a maiden on the turf. Out-ran her odds over further at Ayr last time but still difficult to make a case for here.
Has shown little in seven starts so far, with a first time hood unlikely to bring about the necessary improvement for him to win a race such as this.
Forecasts
Lady Joanna Vassa (5/2), Thatcherite (9/2), Harbour Lightning (6/1), Chip Or Pellet (6/1), Ypres (9/1), Lizzy's Dream (9/1), Nefetari (16/1), Captain Scooby (16/1), Spoken Words (33/1), Mr Enthusiastic (33/1)
THATCHERITE has quickly fallen back below his most recent winning handicap mark and has plenty going for him here;. his runs in the interim have been of a fair standard and he loves quick ground. From a handy draw, he could be the one to be on, ahead of Harbour Lightning, who was much more convincing on her second run for her new stable last time, and Lizzy's Dream, who has been going well recently and could go very close on his best form, though with his inconsistencies considered may be a slightly risky proposition.
- Thatcherite
- Harbour Lightning
- Lizzy's Dream
