Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman| OR: 62

8/1

Three runs as a two-year-old have given him a an opening mark of 62. Every chance of showing considerable improvement now stepping up in trip and into a handicap for the first time.

Raven's Song²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 60

20/1

Three starts in maidens didn't amount to much. Needs to improve now moving into handicaps and stable's horses improve for a run.

Can Can Sixty Two²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 60

6/1

Just three runs in maidens as a two-year-old. Makes handicap debut today for yard amongst the winners and likely to appreciate the step up in trip.

Form: 9-68

Nautica⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 59

7/1

Three similar efforts so far to get this qualifying mark for handicaps. All runs so far over 7f so moving up in trip for handicap debut. Improvement needed.

Form: 5-45

Clan Mcgregor²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: S Durack| OR: 56

12/1

Big prices and four moderate efforts to date. Steps up in trip for handicap debut and worth a check in the market.

Form: 870-9

Sunday Best¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 55

10/1

Sent off 20/1 for handicap debut at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last time and again didn't show a great deal. Drops in trip today and encounters testing ground for the first time.

Form: 007-9

Miniature Daffodil^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 54| BF| D

6/4

Won at Chelmsford last before going close at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) last time. A similar effort today should see him go very close once again.

Form: 051312

Dame Nellie⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Rae Guest| OR: 53

6/1

Only four starts so far and there is a case to be made that she was better than the finishing position at Chelmsford (10f, AW) on handicap debut last time. Encounters turf for the first time and may be on the improve. Not discounted by any means.

Form: 0-776

Forecasts

Miniature Daffodil (6/4), Can Can Sixty Two (6/1), Dame Nellie (6/1), Nautica (7/1), Red Miracle (8/1), Sunday Best (10/1), Clan Mcgregor (12/1), Johni Boxit (16/1), Raven's Song (20/1)

Several of these have the potential to show improved form now they are switching to handicaps. the obvious starting point though is Miniature Daffodil. He went close at Brighton last time and looks sure to go well again. A chance though is taken that DAME NELLIE is better than her first run in handicaps and can improve for the switch to this surface and go well at a price.
