A career record of 1 from 20 makes him a risky proposition, but he was racing from marks in the 70's around this time last year, and drops to a career low mark this afternoon so reasons to believe that he could feasibly be involved.
Had plenty of recent goes at this track in similar contests seeking to break a long losing run which stretches back to February 2016. Dropped a further 4lb in the weights.
Her sole career success in 21 starts came from a 3lb higher mark at Sandown in July 2016. She seems to handle cut and should the rain arrive, could be on a mark from which to capitalise.
Her sole career success in 15 starts came in a 6f nursery at Lingfield in July 2016 (good to firm). She's yet to show enough in 2017, including on a number of occasions at this track to suggest she can take advantage of a falling mark.
Ridden out to take a 6f Yarmouth handicap in June (good to firm), but that hasn't exactly been the catalyst for better times ahead. However, gave some indication this track is okay when finishing fifth here on her penultimate start and this extra yardage could suit.
Ten race maiden who has appeared woefully moderate in four starts in 2017 (scarcely beaten a single rival). Has some glimmers of hope on soft ground form from last campaign, but needs the blinkers to firmly buck up her ideas.
Not won since December 2015, and winless in 13 previous attempts on turf. Has hit the bar a few times in similar desperately weak contests at Lingfield last summer. Exposed.
16 race maiden who did okay at Bath on her seasonal bow in May when 2½L third to Zophilly (almost 6f, soft). However, much more moderate lately and unlikely to be able to capitalise on a reduced mark.
16 race maiden (one time Irish trained) who has claims on a couple of efforts, most notably when third to Scala Regia at Newcastle in March. Also did okay when third over 7½f at Ffos Las latest and might just have a sliver of more ability than he's shown.
Poor performer on the Flat in 2016, and switches back to the level after a couple of recent attempts over hurdles.
60,000 gns yearling, so disappointing that he's kicking about in this grade. A seven race maiden who in truth has shown precious little on synthetics and turf, with connections hopeful that the combination of first time cheek-pieces and a plunging mark can get the ball rolling.
Nothing all that positive to take from three relatively quick runs in maidens during the months of May and June, but given the grade and paucity of opposition is worth a glance in the market ahead of her handicap debut.
Forecasts
Whiteley (7/2), De Vegas Kid (5/1), Cooperess (6/1), Doctor Bong (8/1), Limerick Lord (10/1), Majestic Girl (10/1), Coachella (14/1), Noble Deed (14/1), African Quest (16/1), Sadieroseclifford (16/1), Yorkshire Star (16/1), Wilspa's Magic (66/1)
Another contest in which there is not all that much to set the pulses racing. De Vegas Kid remains a maiden but might find a low grade handicap within his reach eventually whilst Coachella ought to be far stronger in the first time cheek-pieces if he has ever any aspirations to climb the handicap ladder. Doctor Bong is out of sorts, but was essentially far better than these rivals once upon a time whilst Cooperess is surely worth a small each-way play if copious amounts of rain arrive. However, the somewhat forced vote goes to SADIEROSECLIFFORD who might just find this extra yardage to her liking if settling better under Robert Winston.
- Sadieroseclifford
