Jane Saines 60th Birthday Celebration Handicap (Div 1)

Off time: 14:42 | Winning time: 1m 23.73s

(8)

Baltic Prince²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| D

13/2

Dropped 13lb since the turn of the year and has been frustrating to follow. Capable at this level but not easiest to predict and others more reliable.

Form: 630906

Golden Cannon¹⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Danny Brock| T: Miss S West| OR: 58

50/1

Six starts into her career (3 in Bumpers and 3 on the Flat) but yet to really catch the imagination. Easy to oppose on her first try at this trip.

Form: 857

Tifl^b,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 55

8/1

Unexposed on turf but won a modest seller last time out and allowed to race off the same mark as before, so feasible he has a little more to offer now he's in good form. Worth a betting check.

Form: 509901

Tigerfish^p³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 58| CD

5/1

Registered both career win on turf over C&D and will be suited by the return to the surface. Leading contender if latest modest effort on the AW is forgiven.

Form: 571126

(11)

Pulsating¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 57

12/1

Has won a couple of sellers on the AW but lacks the same profile on turf. Also has a bit to prove over the trip.

Form: 575857

(10)

Lady Morel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 56| C

4/1

Stayed on strongly to win a selling handicap over 6f here last time and should have no issues with today's extra distance. Big chance again from just 1lb higher rating.

Mr Andros^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: M Dwyer| T: B G Powell| OR: 51

25/1

Left Andrew Balding after four modest efforts and has been much the same story for his current yard this season. Hard to see him having much of an impact.

Form: 6-98877

(7)

Justice Rock^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: P S McEntee| OR: 50

8/1

Won once and been placed four times during 2017 up to press and looks capable of going close once more if his stamina holds out over the final furlong.

Form: 513233

(5)

Latest Quest⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Kirk| OR: 52| D

16/1

Was kept very busy last year but is yet to show he is capable of capitalising on what looks to be an attractive handicap mark. Others look more convincing.

Form: 056-737

(9)

Arquus¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: E De Giles| OR: 48

20/1

Achieved a lenient mark after three moderate efforts in maidens. Performances in handicaps have also been uninspiring and the drop back to 7f also raises cause for concern.

Form: 0-096

(4)

Limerick Lord^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46

6/1

Best effort for a while when placed over C&D last month and sound claims of at least a place if capable of dishing out a repeat dose. Hasn't won since December 2015 (AW at Southwell) though.

Form: 548435

(6)

Almoqatel¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 45| D

33/1

Just a solitary win in a claimer as a two-year-old to his name and has obviously had training issues (long absence before two starts of a new yard this season). Hard to fancy on the evidence of this season's runs.

Form: 0U55/89

(2)

Bed Of Diamonds⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: R Ffrench| T: A West| OR: 45

50/1

Out of the weights, significantly down in trip and plenty to prove even on the pick of her turf form. Reasons enough to look elsewhere for the winner.

Form: 00-8680

(15)

Lady Gwhinnyvere⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J Quinn| T: J L Spearing| OR: 45

25/1

Missed the majority of this season and now has plenty to prove after a lacklustre effort latest; another with a stiff test at the weights too.

Form: 0690-39

Forecasts

Lady Morel (4/1), Tigerfish (5/1), Corporal Maddox (5/1), Limerick Lord (6/1), Baltic Prince (13/2), Tifl (8/1), Justice Rock (8/1), Pulsating (12/1), Latest Quest (16/1), Arquus (20/1), Mr Andros (25/1), Lady Gwhinnyvere (25/1), Almoqatel (33/1), Bed Of Diamonds (50/1), Golden Cannon (50/1)

It may be worth chancing a small investment with course specialist TIGERFISH, who raises his game at Brighton and is set to encounter ideal ground over a trip that suits. Lady Morel stayed on well to scope over 6f last time out and will be a threat if the extra distance doesn't pose her any issues. Corporal Maddox may not be the most consistent but he was much better than this lot in his heyday and is also worth a betting check after winning in good style at Chepstow. Justice Rock is another to bear in mind if the vibes are positive from the betting market.
