Taken a couple of backward steps since his debut at Lingfield in March (7F), but entitled to do better now switched to handicaps from a realistic opening mark.
Not shown a great deal in three starts to date, and hasn't drawn much benefit from a gelding operation over the winter following his debut fifth over C&D in September. Handicap debut.
Has dropped 6lb in the weights since switched to handicaps and that's acceptable given her seemingly limited level of ability. Cheek-pieces applied for the first time tonight.
Eight race maiden whose form has dipped since late 2016, notably posting a couple of dismal efforts early this spring. However, signs of encouragement from his latest run (although not startling) and dropped another 2lb to a career low mark.
Her 55,000 gns yearling price ought to see her competitive at this lowly level, but her form figures aren't encouraging overall. Dropped a further 3lb in the handicap, and her trainer applies blinkers for the first time.
Hasn't brought her juvenile form from last year into this so far. Falling in the weights, and comfortably held over 1m here in March, but drops to this trip after a short break seeking a revival (two from two over C&D).
Solid from a lowly base since switched to handicapping on turf. Beaten a neck by Everkyllachy on her penultimate outing at Yarmouth (6F good), and placed once more since from this mark. Yet to race over this trip, and drawn wide but considered.
Plenty of experience, and did win at prohibitive odds over this trip at Yarmouth as a juvenile. Dropped steadily in the handicap since September 2016, but not beaten too far from this mark at Brighton (6F) earlier this month.
Probably below par on his handicap debut on Tapeta at Newcastle in May (1m), and whilst better at Salisbury (7F) earlier this month, was weak inside the final furlong which is a slight worry.
Shown very little ability so far, notably so since returning from an eleven month break. Finished last of seven at Wolverhampton on her most recent outing, and an unlikely winner on handicap debut.
Eight race maiden and apparently regressing at a rate of knots, having fallen 14lb in the weights since August 2016. Impossible to fancy.
Nine race maiden, but with plenty of experience on synthetics. Clearly of limited ability, but stronger claims than some after a couple of reasonable enough efforts for the grade of late.
Well beaten on all four of his previous visits to this track, and has shown precious little since switched to handicaps.
Has only managed to beat one horse home in each of her three starts in maidens during the spring. Drops back in trip for her handicap debut, but with little encouragement for the future based upon what we've witnessed on the track.
Forecasts
Luxford (4/1), Wootyhoot (5/1), Sixties Habana (6/1), Golden Eye (6/1), Wotadoll (7/1), Coachella (8/1), Happy Escape (10/1), Primadonia (10/1), Dragon Dream (12/1), Parisian Chic (20/1), Clip Art (33/1), Kath's Boy (50/1), Shamonix (50/1), Secret Willow (50/1)
A low-key start to the card, so it's difficult to make a strong case for any of these runners, therefore, stakes are best kept to a minimum. Wotadoll has claims, but a wide draw makes life difficult, and she does have to prove she stays this trip. Coachella could be capable of far better than he's shown, and it would be no surprise if he was to take all of the beating, but a narrow preference is for LUXFORD. She has no issues with synthetics, and whilst still a maiden, generally runs her race at this basement level.
- Luxford
- Coachella
- Golden Eye
