Expelled²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 65

7/1

Signs of ability in maiden company but well held in handicaps the last twice. Drop in grade is a positive as he tackles this trip for the first time.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: R Spencer| OR: 65

Zapateado¹¹

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

10/3

Broke her maiden when winning over this C&D last week. Appeared to have a bit in hand on that occasion and is one for the shortlist despite an 8lb rise in the weights.

Fire Orchid¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

6/1

Fair efforts in three starts in novice contests including over 1m at Lingfield last time out. Represents a leading stable as she drops back in trip for today's handicap debut.

Still Got It²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62

14/1

Not beaten far despite finishing last of seven on stable and handicap debut over an extended 1m here last time out. Interesting runner dropping in trip off a 3lb lower mark.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 61

7/2

Career best effort in finishing a head second over 5f at Musselburgh (soft) last month. Step up in trip isn't certain to suit and races off a 4lb higher mark today.

Form: 66892

Salire³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 61

20/1

Ran well to finish third of 13 over this trip at Thirsk (soft) at Thirsk in September. Well beaten twice since however and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 0358

Westfield Wonder¹⁰⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 58

33/1

Well held on four of his five starts so far and beaten 22L over 6f at Thirsk (good) last time out. Returns from a break and others make more appeal.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: M Dwyer| T: J Hughes| OR: 56

14/1

Finished well held in three novice contests, the two most recent events coming over 1m2f on the AW. Drops markedly in trip and market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Form: 978

Shadow Seeker¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 55

10/1

Limited signs of ability in five starts so far and well held in handicap company the last twice. Probably best watched at present.

Forecasts

Zapateado (10/3), Where's Jeff (7/2), Fire Orchid (6/1), Diamond Pursuit (13/2), Expelled (7/1), That's My Girl (8/1), Shadow Seeker (10/1), Philamundo (14/1), Still Got It (14/1), See The Tar (14/1), Salire (20/1), Westfield Wonder (33/1)

ZAPATEADO is taken to follow up her C&D success last week by defying an 8lb rise in the weights today. The selection represents a stable who have a 17% strike-rate (2/12) of late and can take this at the chief expense of top weight Diamond Pursuit who drops in grade today whilst Where's Jeff can claim third on his first attempt at this distance.
