12/1

Winner over C&D last month off a 6lb lower mark she turned in a rare poor effort last time out when trying to follow up that win over the same C&D. Generally likes to go from the front but will need to bounce back here and score off a career high mark.

Took a minor event on his debut at Ffos Las over 6f on heavy ground but two subsequent runs didn't show much and he looked to be going the wrong way. Now gelded he returns after a long break to make his AW/handicap debut.

5/2

Stepped up some 2f in trip for his handicap debut recently with the race not really panning out for him (slow way; ran freely). All of that left him poorly placed but he remains with potential for handicaps over this trip.

9/2

His form improved for the switch to handicaps taking a mile affair on his debut at Salisbury off a mark of 65. Yet to win again and remains above that mark although he's likely to appreciate this return to a mile after running over 7f last time out after a break.

66/1

Twice a winner as a juvenile (once in a handicap) when she was with Richard Fahey she's run two poor races for this yard so far. Can be slowly away and hard to build a case for her on what she's shown of late.

3/1

Improved to get off the mark on his penultimate start at Dundalk over a mile off a 1lb lower mark his run last time out can be written off having got no run at all. That run was over 7f and he should appreciate this return to a mile and looks well handicapped.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 64

16/1

Has so far looked very modest in three runs but goes handicapping for the first time and that may being about some improvement. She appeared not to handle the bend last time at Kempton over a mile so she'll need to act better around here.

Form: 35-8

7/2

Always looked to have a future in handicaps but failed to improve for his debut in this sphere over C&D. Dropped another 2lb for that run and may be worth another chance in a handicap.

Rose Tinted Spirit (5/2), Paparazzi (3/1), Vice Marshal (7/2), El Borracho (9/2), Austin Powers (8/1), Felisa (12/1), Greeneyedafghan (12/1), Precious Silk (16/1), Powerful Society (66/1)

The Irish raider PAPARAZZI makes plenty of appeal here having looked rather unlucky last time out on the AW at Dundalk although he remains just 1lb above his last winning mark and the booking of Adam Kirby takes the eye. Rose Tinted Spirit didn’t really have things go to plan last time but remains with potential and better is expected here. El Borracho should appreciate the return to this trip and he along with Austin Powers and Vice Marshal are others to consider in this opening handicap.
