Cosmic Dust³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 45

25/1

Still yet to win a race after 17 attempts and went off far too quickly last time out at Ripon (ran very free).Drawn wide this time and hardly looks to be making much progress.

Form: 730-884

(3)

Dream Revival¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Paul Collins| OR: 52

66/1

Makes her turf debut here having her second run after leaving James Unett having finished well held on her first run for this yard. Makes little appeal here despite the presence of a decent apprentice and an inside draw.

Form: 22553-0

John Caesar^p,t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 53

7/2

Modest handicapper who has been placed over shorter trips here this year without looking as though he was going to win. These terms give him a better chance though and he might just be able to break his long losing run and add to his sole win.

Form: 576320

Little Pippin²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 43| D

9/1

Poorly off at these weights (has the lowest official rating) and her losing run is already in double figures. Has shaped relatively well on her last couple of starts in low grade handicaps without looking an obvious type for this.

Form: 59-0945

Hellomoto^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cameron Noble| T: K A Ryan| OR: 55

9/2

This will be his ninth attempt to win a race and he's shown very little this season so far and there still looks to be a question mark over this trip. Favoured by the weights here but not really in any sort of form to take advantage.

Form: 0-24545

King Kevin⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 51

5/1

Draw on the wide outside won't really help and he was far too free last time out in a 0-60 handicap. This is a slight drop in class but he needs to show more and his best effort came over a couple of furlongs further.

Form: 00065

Lucky Ellen¹⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Patrick Vaughan| T: J Candlish| OR: 51

11/4

Well worth a check in the betting having joined a very capable yard (first run for them) and any money should be noted. Had shown some ability in maidens when trained in Ireland (yet to run in a handicap) and of interest here.

Form: 74-50

(9)

Pindaric⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh| T: A J Lockwood| OR: 50

12/1

Trip looked too far last time out when he ran at Newcastle on the AW and this mile will suit him much better. He's yet to really fire this season and has a difficult post position here and not one to be going overboard about despite the more suitable trip.

Form: 7-78570

(2)

Rebel Flame²⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Manuel Fernandes| T: J R Weymes| OR: 55

20/1

Showed the benefit of some experience when fifth at Wolverhampton in January on his last run for Gary Moss over 7f. Now having his first run for his new yard after a break from a good draw and of interest if he's fit enough after that absence.

Form: 08-5

(6)

Silk Mill Blue^p1⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Natalie Hambling| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 51

16/1

Cheekpieces (first-time) replace the blinkers that were worn for the first-time on his previous start after he ran poorly in those. Was supported in the market a couple of runs back but ran another poor race and looks best watched here.

Form: 67-4698

Forecasts

Lucky Ellen (11/4), John Caesar (7/2), Hellomoto (9/2), King Kevin (5/1), Little Pippin (9/1), Pindaric (12/1), Silk Mill Blue (16/1), Rebel Flame (20/1), Cosmic Dust (25/1), Dream Revival (66/1)

Not a particularly strong event and an uninspiring one in terms of a betting contest. It may well be worth taking a chance on LUCKY ELLEN who makes her debut for a shrewd yard having shown signs of ability when trained in Ireland. King Kevin needs to show a little more but this trip should suit him better and he enters the equation along with Rebel Flame another back from an absence having shown something in the past. John Caesar is relatively solid in this grade although his overall record is hardly bet compelling material.
