Unnoticed^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 57| D

3/1

A regular visitor here who acts on the surface but has flattered only to deceive on more than one occasion. The losing run continues to grow and he really can't be recommended as a win option given his overall record here.

Locommotion¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 57| D

8/1

Twice a winner on the AW over the winter on Polytrack his one previous run here was poor and he moved with little fluency on the surface. Comes here off the back of an inadequate run off this mark with his last win coming off 4lb lower.

Form: 051-419

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 55| C| D

6/1

Not seen here since finishing a modest 4th over a mile at the start of last year and has looked out of sorts of late. Has won here over a mile and cheekpieces are now tried again (always runs in headgear); fallen below last winning mark.

Hidden Stash^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 55| D

12/1

Won back-to-back weak handicaps on Polytrack at the end of last year but it would appear that the handicapper has wrestled back control of late. Now makes his Fibresand debut but more needed off this mark although this trip will suit better.

Form: U11-840

Scotch Myst²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 50| C

7/2

Has a decent enough record on Fibresand (212362) although he's only had one run over this trip. That came last time out when he turned in his best effort of the season off this mark with this trip looking to suit; chance of going one better now.

Form: 843-642

Baron Run¹⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: K R Burke| OR: 50

20/1

His two previous efforts here have been uninspiring and he returns now off a fair break having last been seen on turf over 7f. Handicapper has loosened his grip but he needs to show he can act on Fibresand before he's of interest.

Poppy May²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: J G Given| OR: 49| CD

9/1

Her three previous efforts here had been unimpressive so her C&D win last time came out of the blue and was a surprise. Looked good value for that win though and only up 3lb so not obviously badly treated here.

Form: 8/308-61

Gaelic Wizard^v¹⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 46| CD

33/1

Often a slow starter he was out of sorts when last seen on the turf at the end of 2017. Not seen on this surface for quite some while and does have a C&D win to his name but may need this run after a long absence.

Form: 478756-

Iconic Figure²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

7/1

Has shown some consistent form on this surface although he's yet to win on it. Recently joined this yard and went well on his debut run returned to this surface (7f); failed to show as much next time though (6f); not written off from a lowly mark.

Form: 5790-23

Ejabah⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 45

100/1

Failed to win in eight attempts on Fibresand and continues to show little even in this lowly grade and hard to see him improving her record here.

Form: 67349-0

Ivy Matilda²⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 45

150/1

Yet to run on Fibresand but comes here with no form to speak of and hasn't been seen for quite some while. Hard to recommend.

Forecasts

Unnoticed (3/1), Scotch Myst (7/2), Limerick Lord (5/1), Arcane Dancer (6/1), Iconic Figure (7/1), Locommotion (8/1), Poppy May (9/1), Hidden Stash (12/1), Princess Way (12/1), Baron Run (20/1), Gaelic Wizard (33/1), Ejabah (100/1), Ivy Matilda (150/1)

Only a low-grade start to the card although there are a few that have won here and over this trip. Unnoticed should have won a race here but continues to be held back by his attitude and the best he can realistically hope for is another place. Limerick Lord and Princess Way have both won over C&D although neither could be called consistent types while Scotch Myst has a chance of going one better now having always shown his form on this surface. However, there may be a bit more to come from POPPY MAY who sprang a surprise here last time but still looks reasonably treated off a 3lb higher mark and could still have some improvement left in her.
