Intiwin¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 59| CD

9/4

Ended more than two-years without a win when scoring a C&D success in September, came back and ran well next time off this mark (up 2lb) and entitled to sound claims if in same form.

Kroy^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 59| C

6/1

Had been hinting and duly shed maiden tag at tenth time of asking when obliging here over 6f last month. Needed every yard to do so, capable of going well again over this extra furlong with that confidence booster.

Form: 3-58391

Sugar Beach^h,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 58

33/1

Has not been able to build on promising reappearance at Pontefract in April (6f good) in three runs since. Latest saw him tackle 1m2f here 15 days ago, a trip that may have stretched him too far. Handicapper continues to offer him hope.

Form: 55-4800

Little Choosey^b,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: S R Bowring| OR: 56

12/1

Regular on the AW circuit, the mare has run some decent races this year without picking up a reward. Dropped below previous winning mark now and capable of having a say in this company.

Form: 227985

Betty Grable⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁷⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 57

16/1

Just the four runs and given stiff task on handicap debut at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in September. Drops a couple of classes for this AW debut and an improved performance could be the result, betting check called for.

Form: 6568

Broughtons Fancy⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Gemma Tutty⁽⁵⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 53| D

11/2

All four AW wins (from 25) have been at Wolverhampton, so no reason she won't go well on this Tapeta surface and did so in September when close second over C&D on first run here. Has 6L to find on Intiwin based on most recent outing at this track.

Form: 870264

Little Kingdom⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 53| C

25/1

Bred to stay this far but despite that fact her sole win so far came over 5f here off a mark of 53 in February. Efforts since have not set the world alight.

Breathoffreshair^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: R C Guest| OR: 50

13/2

Ran well to be 3L fourth of eight in C&D maiden (won by Peny Arcade) last November having gone off 66/1, three handicap runs this year over a mile have been disappointing and bit to prove at the moment despite drop in trip.

Form: 004-064

Jessie Allan²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

12/1

A 28-race maiden now, came closest here over a mile in June (1¾L third of 14) and has run some good races up at Ayr since. Gets on well with this claimer and they could pick up a race of this nature.

Form: 234924

(8)

Mercers Row⁹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 47| D

50/1

Usually runs over sprint trips and hasn't been tried at 7f for around a year. Looks to be rather going through the motions at the moment. Makes his first start for a new yard but still has plenty to do to be competitive.

Form: 086550

Peny Arcade¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: P Hanagan| T: A C Whillans| OR: 46| CD

7/1

Winner of a C&D maiden in November last, she has not looked like adding to it in nine runs this year. Her three runs here (including near 13L C&D defeat in September) ensure she's opposable for now.

Form: 066933

Nellie Deen^p,h1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Paula Muir⁽⁷⁾| T: S G West| OR: 45

66/1

A 16-race maiden now, she changed hands for £800 recently and was tailed off on debut for this yard over 6f on the Fibresand at Southwell 13 days ago. Hood is added today, faces tough task.

Form: 656050

Lukoutoldmakezebak^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 45

66/1

Unplaced in 14 attempts so far and comes here on the back of another heavy defeat over 6f at Southwell 13 days ago. Hard to make any case for at the moment.

Form: 649789

(5)

Coral Princess²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: A Mullen| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 45

14/1

Filly has yet to make the breakthrough after 14 starts, but there have at least been some positives in there. 5lb lower than when going down 4L over a mile here in June and ran well at Ayr (1m, heavy) last month.

Form: 536675

Forecasts

Intiwin (9/4), Broughtons Fancy (11/2), Kroy (6/1), Breathoffreshair (13/2), Peny Arcade (7/1), Little Choosey (12/1), Jessie Allan (12/1), Coral Princess (14/1), Betty Grable (16/1), Little Kingdom (25/1), Sugar Beach (33/1), Mercers Row (50/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (66/1), Nellie Deen (66/1)

Recent C&D scorer Intiwin is entitled to be in the mix once more while Kroy can also get involved if reproducing the effort that saw him get up late in the piece to win over 6f at this track last time out. Coral Princess is on a fair mark based on previous course form and Jessie Allan can also claim to have done her best work here as well. But it might be worthwhile siding with LITTLE CHOOSEY, the mare now dropped below her previous winning mark and having been running solid races of late without getting a verdict in her favour. Broughtons Fancy isn't consistent but does favour Tapeta and would have claims on a going day.
