Tranquil Soul^b1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ted Durcan| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 65

8/1

Didn't run badly over C&D last time out when finishing fourth in a novice event. Should find things easier back in nursery events and first-time blinkers should bring about further improvement.

Global Angel^b1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 64

12/1

Should find this handicap debut less hot than the three novice/maiden events he has run in first time, but still needs to find more in first-time blinkers.

Form: 907

Masters Apprentice³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 64

8/1

Beaten 10L+ in his three attempts at novice races up to now. Claimer retains the ride but needs to show much more off this opening handicap mark.

Form: 054

Rustang^h²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 63

11/4

Consistent if unremarkable runner who has run two solid races in handicap company so far. Down only 2lb from the most recent of those and may need more help from the handicapper.

Form: 58044

Gembari^p¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: I Furtado| OR: 62

33/1

Failed to improve on his maiden/novice form on handicap debut last time out when beaten over 10L, and has plenty to do off the same handicap mark.

Form: 6908

Mouchee¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 60

5/1

Hasn't been able to build on a brilliant handicap debut at Leicester three starts ago. Remains at this trip after running just a fair race at Wolverhampton last time out.

Couldn't Could She^e/s1⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S J Drowne| T: A West| OR: 59

14/1

Has done most of her racing over 7f but ran well enough over this trip at Leicester last time out. Draw not ideal but holds claims off the same handicap mark.

Form: 585473

(2)

Faradays Spark²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59

4/1

Put in a poor performance at Redcar last time out but not in bad form prior to that, including when winning at Catterick seller in August. Considered on the basis of that form.

Form: 334160

Pearl's Calling⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 57

33/1

Didn't make her mark on handicap debut at Leicester last time out, when looking no better than when well-beaten in novice and selling company.

Form: 6868

(5)

Speed Craft^p²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 57

20/1

Played only a minor role in three novice events. Now allotted a handicap mark but looks to have her work cut out in this company.

Form: 890

(8)

Daffrah⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Mr Paul Hainey⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tate| OR: 56

7/1

Returned to something like her best form from novice events when finishing a good second at Leicester last time out. Slight questions to answer on this surface but sets the standard on that performance.

Form: 876782

Misty Breese^h1⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 46

50/1

Up in trip here from handicap debut last time and fitted with a hood which could bring about some improvement, but she's going to need plenty based on what she's shown so far.

Rustang (11/4), Faradays Spark (4/1), Mouchee (5/1), Sauchiehall Street (6/1), Daffrah (7/1), Masters Apprentice (8/1), Tranquil Soul (8/1), Global Angel (12/1), King Athelstan (12/1), Couldn't Could She (14/1), Duggary (16/1), Speed Craft (20/1), Pearl's Calling (33/1), Gembari (33/1), Misty Breese (50/1)

Few of these have shown too much so far, but perhaps TRANQUIL SOUL can prove the best. This top-weight ran well over C&D last time out, and a replication of that effort would see him right in the mix for this despite the larger field size. If reappearing it will be interesting to see how Sauciehall Street does under a 6lb penalty after winning at Kempton on Tuesday while Daffrah commands respect after her performance at Leicester last time out.
