Secratario^p¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 65| C

3/1

Couple of good efforts at this track before winning over 1m last time. Drops back to 7f off a 7lb higher mark, so he needs to produce a personal best to follow up.

Give Em A Clump^v⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 65| D

9/2

Ran as well as ever when just touched off over 6f at Southwell last week. Not short of speed so step up in trip not necessarily in his favour even though he has won over this far.

Roman Spinner^t⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Rae Guest| OR: 65| C

9/2

Won over 6f at this track three starts ago and has run well off higher marks in two outings since. Has gone up in the weights again and that rise, allied to her wide draw, will make life tough.

Form: 456122

Sotomayor¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

11/4

Ran his best race so far when beaten by Secratario at this track and is 4lb better off for a ½L beating. Seems to be getting his act together and looks a major player at these weights.

Golden Deal^h⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T J Murphy| T: R T Phillips| OR: 62

40/1

Well held in three starts in maiden company, she makes her handicap debut. Does not look especially well treated, but market will probably prove the best guide to her chances.

Form: 698

Crystal Casque³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 62

14/1

Three runs in maiden/novice company and the last two of those at this track displayed signs of promise. One of the more likely types on handicap debut.

Form: 045

Obrigada¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Tom Clover| OR: 61

10/1

Has hinted at ability on all four starts and finished with a flourish in her first handicap at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Runs off 1lb lower and can make her presence felt.

Form: 8655

Dashing Dusty⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 61

25/1

Not without promise in three starts in novice company, the last of them on the AW. Makes his handicap debut off a feasible mark and can go well for in-form stable.

Form: 644

Jazzy Girl⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: B G Powell| OR: 52

33/1

Little promise in three starts before finishing seventh of 12 over 6f on handicap debut at Chelmsford. Plenty to do off the same mark, but extra distance may help.

Form: 0097

Blackwood²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blanshard| OR: 49

100/1

First run in a handicap saw him finish only ninth of 11 over 6f at this track. Hard to see him getting seriously involved despite being 3lb lower.

Form: 8909

Miss Condi^h1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Keighley| OR: 45

100/1

Very little encouragement in novice and handicap company and prospects seem to lie on the application of a hood for the first time. Readily opposed.

Forecasts

Sotomayor (11/4), Secratario (3/1), Roman Spinner (9/2), Give Em A Clump (9/2), Obrigada (10/1), Kendergarten Kop (10/1), Hurricane Lil (12/1), Crystal Casque (14/1), Watch Tan (16/1), Dashing Dusty (25/1), Jazzy Girl (33/1), Golden Deal (40/1), Blackwood (100/1), Miss Condi (100/1)

Dashing Dusty is interesting on his handicap debut for a yard enjoying a good spell, while top-weight Secratario and his recent course victim Sotomayor seem sure to be on the premises, but it may be worth taking a chance on OBRIGADA, who has caught the eye more than once and finished her race well on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton. Crystal Casque is another to consider.
