Gorse^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: F Norton| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 62

9/1

Maiden after eight starts but beaten just a neck over 6f at Newcastle on his penultimate outing and this step up in trip should suit.

Form: 4306-23

Brockey Rise^v²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 61| C

5/1

Registered his second victory when successful over 6f here last time out. Raised 3lb for that effort and has struggled over this trip in the past. Also declared 17:25 Wolverhampton Thursday.

Form: 6-68214

Lady Of Authority⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Danny Brock| T: R T Phillips| OR: 61

20/1

Seven race maiden including when finishing fourth over 1m at Lingfield last time out. Worth a check in the market on debut for a new yard.

Form: 9734-74

Darkest Light^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 57| BF| D

10/1

Off the mark at the fourth attempt on first outing since wind surgery in a 7f handicap at Chelmsford last month. Ran well next time but proved a disappointment at Newcastle subsequently and cheekpieces are tried today.

Form: 9-76145

Mimram²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 55

9/2

Broke her maiden when winning over 1m at Lingfield last time out. Finished a good second over this trip prior to that and is one for the shortlist for a stable with a 38% strike-rate (3/8) in recent weeks.

Form: 4879-21

Tommy Boy⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 55

3/1

Well held in two novice contests and a maiden as a two-year-old and probably best watched on his return to 7f and handicap debut today.

Form: 000-

Kheleyf's Girl⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Patrick Pilley⁽³⁾| T: C Ellam| OR: 55

40/1

Placed five times from 12 starts including when second of four in a 6f claimer here in January. Changed yards since and likely to find a few too good in this contest.

Form: 026-242

(8)

Geetanjali²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: M L W Bell| OR: 54

12/1

Career best effort when finishing 2L sixth of six over 6f at Lingfield earlier this month. Worth a check in the market on today's handicap debut.

Form: 0-66

Wilde Oscar²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 52

6/1

Failed to make an impressive in novice contests and it was a similar story on handicap debut at Southwell earlier this month. Not written off just yet but more needed today.

Form: 6555

(5)

Olive Mabel³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 51

6/1

Good effort in finishing fourth to Darkest Light at Chelmsford a month ago. Work to do if she's to reverse form with that rival today however.

Form: 668-94

Forecasts

Tommy Boy (3/1), Mimram (9/2), Brockey Rise (5/1), Olive Mabel (6/1), Wilde Oscar (6/1), Gorse (9/1), Darkest Light (10/1), Geetanjali (12/1), Lady Of Authority (20/1), Kheleyf's Girl (40/1)

MIMRAM hails from a stable in good form at present and she can follow up last months Lingfield success by taking this 7f handicap. The daughter of Kheleyf has to defy a 3lb rise in the weights today but can do so at the chief expense of Brockey Rise who ran well here recently while Darkest Light can claim third with cheekpieces tried for the first time.
