Street Poet^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 62| BF

11/4

Remains a maiden but has now finished second six times, including on his last four starts. Proving a little bit difficult to win with but clearly possesses ability and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 25-2222

(11)

Chiswick Bey¹⁷⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 60

25/1

Recent strongest efforts have mostly come in claiming/selling company and may not be seen to best effect in this handicap on stable debut.

Form: 323095-

It's How We Roll¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J L Spearing| OR: 58

4/1

12 race maiden but has run solid races the last twice (since being gelded) and has been dropped a further useful 2lb. The services of this jockey for the first time is a positive and he should go close.

Form: 492675-

Kaaber^t⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 57| C

25/1

Previous course winner but generally inconsistent and all career wins have come over 6f, so he has questions to answer with the trip.

Form: 10910-7

(8)

Adventureman^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Barry McHugh| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| BF

9/2

Couldn't build on a win at Newcastle two starts back again at that course last time. Otherwise tends to reserve his best for Musselburgh, though is yet to run here.

Form: 8476-18

(7)

Lily Ash¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Murphy| OR: 54

10/1

Had has less racing than most of these, and ran another good race at Southwell when third last time. On a similar mark and should go well.

Form: 52674-3

(3)

Gone With The Wind^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 53| CD

11/2

C&D winner last time in the hands of this jockey and has gone up 3lb. Not a bad overall strike-rate and should run well again.

Form: 108471

(9)

Joys Delight^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51

10/1

Encouraging that her two better efforts in her recent runs have both come at this course, and she may go close if building on a good second when last seen.

Form: 6-88202

(13)

Stamp Duty³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Hart| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 47| CD

20/1

Seemed to go off the boil on his last start following some recent good efforts at this course, though the return to this trip can be seen as a positive.

Form: 4222-46

(6)

Pivotal Dream²³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K G Wingrove| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Ran well over C&D two starts back but is just 1/38 overall in her career and has been off since finishing fourth at Yarmouth last August.

Form: 956024-

(4)

Mount Cheiron¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mike Hammond| OR: 45| CD

40/1

Dual C&D winner at his best but failed to impress on stable debut last time and needs a major revival to have a say in this.

Form: 76005-9

(10)

Tess Graham^p,h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45

100/1

12 race maiden who has never looked in any serious danger of getting off the mark, including in a similar race over C&D last time.

Form: 068-757

Forecasts

Street Poet (11/4), It's How We Roll (4/1), Adventureman (9/2), Gone With The Wind (11/2), Lily Ash (10/1), Joys Delight (10/1), Chelwood Gate (14/1), Stamp Duty (20/1), Chiswick Bey (25/1), Pivotal Dream (25/1), Kaaber (25/1), Mount Cheiron (40/1), Tess Graham (100/1)

Street Poet clearly has ability but having finished second four times in a row now looks like he could be a bit tricky to win with, so preference is for IT'S HOW WE ROLL. He has run better than the form figure suggests in two starts since being gelded and could build on that with Luke Morris taking the ride for the first time. Gone With The Wind should also run well having won over C&D last time out.
