32Red Amateur Riders' Handicap

Off time: 20:15 | Winning time: 2m 33.3s

Zambeasy²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr R Birkett| T: P Hide| OR: 76| C| D

16/1

Versatile sort who has won from 1m to 1m4f and is effective on turf and AW surfaces. Not at his best on recent starts, however, and needs to bounce back if he is to take advantage of his reduced handicap mark.

Form: 8-82757

Take Two¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 76| D

5/1

Consistent performer who would almost certainly have won at Newbury last time but for blowing the start. Only 1lb higher and even though lack of AW success is a concern, he has run respectably at this track.

Form: 331142

Snowy Winter^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: A Watson| OR: 79| D

11/4

Lightly-raced filly who already has three wins on her CV, two of them coming in her last three starts. Has gone up 7lb for her success at Newcastle last time, but has to go on the short list with leading amateur rider booked.

Form: 328151

(4)

Methag¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr S Lee⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 73| D

50/1

Still looking for her first success for this stable after winning twice in France for Francois Rohaut. Well held on her last visit to this track and the stable look to have a stronger contender in Take Two.

Form: 11-5270

So Celebre²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Abbie McCain⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| BF

9/4

Favourite when just touced off over C&D two starts ago and again ran well when runner-up at Lingfield last time. The cheekpieces he wore that day are left off and he looks sure to give another bold show off 2lb higher.

Form: 2-07622

(7)

Biotic^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: B R Millman| OR: 67| C

10/1

Well held at this track on his last two starts, but has been dropped 5lb since the first of them. Step up in trip is likely to suit so he cannot be ruled out.

Form: 244608

(2)

French Mix²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 71| BF| D

4/1

Irish raider who bolted up over 1m4f at Dundalk, but could only finish in mid-division over the same C&D next time off 15lb higher. Runs off the same mark and looks vulnerable.

Form: 950616

Forecasts

So Celebre (9/4), Snowy Winter (11/4), French Mix (4/1), Take Two (5/1), Biotic (10/1), Zambeasy (16/1), Methag (50/1)

Irish raider French Mix struggled off this mark last time, Zambeasy needs to return to form and Methag was well beaten on her last visit to this track, so this could rest between Snowy Winter, Biotic, So Celebre and TAKE TWO. The latter is in rude health and would have won at Newbury off 1lb higher last time had he not lost many lengths at the start.
