toteswinger Two In The First Three Handicap

Right About Now¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 65WS

7/1

Disappointing effort on first start for this yard, well beaten here (1m2f) back in November. Has had a four month break and has undergone a wind operation since. Drops back in trip from good draw but hard to be confident.

Chetan^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 65| C| D

10/1

Hints the last twice that his turn may not be far away. Down another 1lb after making the running here last time (1m) and finishing 4th of seven. Drops in to class 6 company and interesting back in trip.

Form: 037-854

Tellovoi^p,e/s⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R C Guest| OR: 63| C| D

8/1

Quirky sort that can be slowly away. Faded into fifth on latest start at Wolverhampton (1m½f) when trip probably stretched his stamina. Eye shield and cheekpieces replace the visor. Back in trip but hard to fancy.

Merdon Castle²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: I Furtado| OR: 60| C

4/1

Eye-catching effort latest when beaten 2½L at Kempton (6f). Dropped to a very tempting mark and switch to yard that does very well with this type. Step back up in trip should suit. Interesting.

Sonnet Rose^b,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁷⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 59| BF

7/2

A switch to front running tactics have seen her in the mix on her last few starts. Likely to be competition for the lead here but jockey claims handy 7lb and difficult to dismiss.

Form: 8-22333

(7)

Emily Goldfinch¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 57| D

14/1

Another one that likes to make the running. Off the track for six months but has slipped to a nice mark and jockey takes off a valuable 5lb. Could go well if ready off a break.

Wild Acclaim^p1,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Appleby| OR: 55

6/1

Dangerously well handicapped for a bang in form yard. Better than the bare form suggests last time over C&D when trying to come from off the pace and slightly hampered. Cheekpieces on for first time but draw not ideal.

Form: 7800-97

(3)

Rivers Of Asia^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁵⁾| T: Martin Smith| OR: 54

9/2

0-20 to date but not been disgraced of late. Likley to find one or two of these too good all the same.

Form: 40-4333

Forecasts

Haraz (3/1), Sonnet Rose (7/2), Merdon Castle (4/1), Rivers Of Asia (9/2), Wild Acclaim (6/1), Right About Now (7/1), Tellovoi (8/1), Chetan (10/1), Palawan (10/1), Emily Goldfinch (14/1), Mr Andros (14/1)

An interesting Class 6 handicap likely to be run at a good clip. Despite the draw Wild Acclaim should go well if getting the splits but preference is for MERDON CASTLE who is well-handicapped on old form and his yard do well with new recruits. Chetan may be best of the rest.
