Dream Ally³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: J R Weymes| OR: 60| CD

6/1

A three-time winner in 2017 with the last of them coming over C&D off a 1lb higher mark he's run respectably in his last two outings. Not quite in the same form as when he was in his winning spree and more needed to take this.

Form: 1188-44

Billyoakes^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 59| C| D

15/2

Features just above his last winning mark and looked a little unlucky not to win on his penultimate start at Chelmsford over 6f (well backed and hampered close home) Failed to build on that promise last time despite having the run of the race; likes to make the running.

Form: 15-3035

13/2

Certainly shaped as though he could win a race soon when finishing third at Newcastle on his penultimate start (travelled well) but was undone by the 7f trip. Ran respectably back to 6f last time out at the same track and is well below his last winning mark.

Form: 474-234

Prazeres¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 56

18/1

Looked to be suited by running over 7f when finally getting off the mark in August at Catterick (seen to good advantage from the front). Nowhere near the same form since and continued out of form after a break at Lingfield last time out.

Napping³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: L P Keniry| T: O Murphy| OR: 54

9/2

Has shown some signs of ability and only lightly raced but has run with some credit of late at 6f. Her last run when she was 4th at Kempton showed that she was still unexposed although she may do better at 7f; now with a new yard.

Form: 53535-4

Krazy Paving^b²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 54| BF| D

6/4

Twice a winner last year on the AW he took advantage of a change of headgear (cheekpieces) and slipping below his last winning mark to win at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Ran well at Lingfield yesterday (just touched off) and will still be a danger if taking up this engagement.

Form: 0038-71

See Vermont^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 52| CD

10/1

Last win came at Musselburgh over 5f (a course where he goes well) but hasn't been in the same form since. Often slow away these days and that affected his chance over 5f here last time; well below his last winning mark if he does get away on terms.

Noneedtotellme²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: F Norton| T: J W Unett| OR: 45

9/1

A record of 0/16 doesn't really inspire and although she has shown some glimmers of ability she made hard work of it last time out. Stayed on well over C&D after being under early pressure and may be worth a try over 7f.

Form: 84934-2

Wedgewood Estates³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| CD

14/1

Most of her form is fairly modest and she hasn't won since the middle of 2016 off an 8lb higher mark. Placed last time out in a lower grade than this (just held on for second) but others hold more scope.

Form: 2078-42

Dazeekha⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: M Herrington| OR: 45| BF

20/1

She's not one to go overboard about despite a reasonable run on her penultimate start on the Fibresand at Southwell. She failed to follow-up that run last time out (well backed) in first-time cheekpieces and on balance she's best left alone here back on Tapeta.

Form: 5/7764-5

Whispering Soul^b²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 45

28/1

Most of her form is poor although she fared better of late when back in headgear over C&D last time (took third). Had looked out of sorts prior to that and has work to do here to repeat that run.

Form: 5760-93

(2)

Tisa River^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

66/1

Modest maiden who has been well below form in her last two starts and from out of the handicap here has work to do to feature. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8804-75

Kath's Boy¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

50/1

Yet to get off the mark after 14 runs and offered little after a break last time out going with little fluency. Hard to make a case for him here on what he's shown so far.

Forecasts

Krazy Paving (6/4), Napping (9/2), Dream Ally (6/1), Picks Pinta (13/2), Billyoakes (15/2), Noneedtotellme (9/1), See Vermont (10/1), Wedgewood Estates (14/1), Prazeres (18/1), Dazeekha (20/1), Whispering Soul (28/1), Kath's Boy (50/1), Tisa River (66/1)

A low key event to start the evening and not that many make much appeal although KRAZY PAVING scored well on his penultimate start and has now received an upgrade in terms of stable and he was in good form at this time last year. Billyoakes looks to be off a mark that he can win off and will be dangerous if he gets on the front end while Picks Pinta is another who may feature off what looks to be a good mark. Dream Ally has run with credit in his last two starts and he could also feature with See Vermont worth a look if he can get away on terms.
