Handicap winner over 6f at Ayr in June off a 4lb lower mark when a short-priced favourite she only ran respectably last time out when attempting to follow-up at Hamilton. Not in the same form last time out and has work to do off a career high mark here.
A beaten favourite on his last run as a juvenile on the AW he makes his handicap debut here now after being gelded and a break. Looks the sort who may well be suited by going handicapping and should be able to improve with the blinkers going on for the first time and back over 6f.
Maiden winner when with David Simcock on the AW over 6f at Wolverhampton (second won next time out) she very much shaped as if needing the run on her handicap/turf debut for this yard last time at Chester over the same trip. That race has actually worked out well with the second, third and fourth all winning next time out and she may well be of interest here with that run under her belt and a hood on for the first time.
Already on her third yard (previously with Mark Johnston/William Knight) but hasn't won since her debut over 5f at Ripon as a two-year-old. Never really in the race on her first start for this stable last time and may well be capable of showing a bit more with the handicapper dropping her 3lb from last time.
Nursery winner over this trip at Catterick last year (first run in that sphere) and looks in good heart this year although she ruined her chance on her last start rearing as the stalls opened. Should be capable of running a solid race here although there are a few improvers in opposition that could see him hoping for a place at best.
Still a maiden but showed up well last time when running her best race for ages when second at Haydock over 6f taking advantage of falling in the weights. Goes off a 1lb higher mark and if able to reproduce that last run in with chance of breaking her maiden here.
Hard to fancy on what he's done so far this year with three modest runs so far to show for his efforts all over further and can't really be expected to feature here.
Forecasts
Bellevarde (5/2), Screaming Gemini (11/4), Love Oasis (3/1), Springforth (5/1), Katrine (16/1), Dravid (25/1), Moonshine Dancer (25/1)
There’s no doubt that Bellevarde really stepped up on her previous form last time at Haydock and a repeat of that would see her go close here but there are a few improvers lurking around in the shallows here. Katrine would be one of them for the shrewd O’Meara yard and with Screaming Gemini another on handicap debut stepping back in trip and now gelded. MOONSHINE DANCER is the one most of interest though with a hood on for the first time and coming from a race that has worked out very well at Chester last time out.
