Mimram^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 55

9/2

Winner over 1m at Lingfield in February and placed in two subsequent outings off this mark, latterly over 6f. In good heart and a likely player, but does have to prove herself on Fibresand.

Form: 79-2133

Elliot The Dragon³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 55

20/1

Only a hint of promise in three starts over 5f on the AW, the first of them at this venue. Steps up in trip for handicap debut and needs to improve for the greater stamina test, as his breeding suggests he should.

Form: 447

Troop^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 51

10/1

Unplaced in five starts, two of them on the Newcastle AW over 1m and the latest of them on his seasonal reappearance. Handicap mark is on the way down and he has a positive jockey booking. Stable won this last year.

Form: 8868-7

Wynfaul The Wizard^h1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R C Guest| OR: 51

14/1

Has yet to hit the frame in seven starts, six of them on AW surfaces. Beaten off this mark on his last two starts and connections reach for a hood.

Form: 760-648

Brough Lane Lass³⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: J R Weymes| OR: 49

50/1

First run in a handicap after three ordinary runs over 6f in novice company. Has started at big prices on each of her starts and looks up against it, although the step up in trip should help.

Form: 688-

Sentimental Gent²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 49

3/1

Seasonal reappearance and first run since being gelded when fourth of six in a novice event at this venue earlier this month. Represents a shrewd yard and is respected upped in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 06-4

Eyes of Fire^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 48

16/1

Placed only once in 10 starts, but that was at this venue over 6f last month. Races off 1lb lower wth cheekpieces fitted for the first time so worthy of respect.

Form: 574525

(4)

Wilde Oscar^v1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 48

11/2

Fifth of seven in a C&D handicap last month, but took a backward step at Wolverhampton last time. On his lowest mark so far and is fitted with a visor for the first time.

Form: 65559

(7)

Feel The Wrath^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 45

11/4

Initial run for this trainer, seasonal reappearance and equipped with cheekpieces for the first time when showing a hint of promise to be fifth of eight over 1m at this track recently. Drop in trip may help and 4lb lower mark is a plus.

Form: 000-5

Forecasts

Feel The Wrath (11/4), Sentimental Gent (3/1), Mimram (9/2), Wilde Oscar (11/2), Troop (10/1), Wynfaul The Wizard (14/1), Eyes of Fire (16/1), Elliot The Dragon (20/1), Brough Lane Lass (50/1)

Top-weight Mimram is likely to be thereabouts if taking to Fibresand, but she faces a couple of less exposed types in Feel The Wrath and SENTIMENTAL GENT. The latter had a sighter at this venue last time and may be ready to show what he can do on his first start in handicap company. Eyes Of Fire looks the best of the rest.
