Taghee¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti

12/1

Yet to build on a narrow third at Yarmouth on debut. Clearly possesses talent but has plenty on his plate off this weight.

Form: 379

Carp Kid¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 67

5/2

Not the best record in handicaps but won a Lingfield seller two starts ago. Needs considering over a similar trip and on his second start for this trainer.

Form: 657819

Hilborough¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon

7/1

Not disgraced to finish mid-field in three races so far, including an AW novice over 7f last time. Should stay this far now stepping up in trip and should be thereabouts.

Form: 565

Blue Harmony²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke

8/1

Won a novice race at Newcastle two starts ago before coming up well short at the same venue last time. Cheek pieces on now and not discounted by any means under this weight.

Zapateado¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 63| C

11/4

Winner of a 7f handicap at this course two starts ago. No reason she shouldn't stay this far and has to have a big chance off her assigned weight with her apprentice rider claiming 7lb.

Bond Do Tigrao^p1,t²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk

22/1

Down the field in a maiden, claimer and seller so far, and tough to see him getting involved here off the back of those runs.

Form: 077

Trick Shot Jenny³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: J A Osborne| OR: 57

7/1

Newcastle winner two starts ago and encouraging to see her back down in trip after a poor effort latest. Not without a chance of placing.

Kheleyf's Girl^v²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: P D Evans| OR: 59

10/1

Second in a similar race to this at Southwell last time (albeit one with a smaller field), and may hit the frame again off a similar weight.

Carp Kid (5/2), Zapateado (11/4), Hilborough (7/1), Trick Shot Jenny (7/1), Blue Harmony (8/1), Kheleyf's Girl (10/1), That's My Girl (10/1), Taghee (12/1), Bond Do Tigrao (22/1)

Having won a 7f handicap here recently ZAPATEADO may well be the one to side with. She should certainly stay this far, and looks very favourably weighted compared to some rivals who have shown less, not least due to Nicola Currie's 7lb claim. She can get the better of Carp Kid, a winner of a Lingfield seller in November, and Blue Harmony who may be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort last time for Karl Burke.
