Mountain Rescue²²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: C F Wall| OR: 91| D

10/1

Now 8lb higher than August win at Newmarket but ran with credit off this mark when second to an improving type over the C&D when last seen. Has run well fresh in the past and respected.

Afandem³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85

16/1

Down a further 2lb and on a workable mark following three runs on AW for new stable. However disappointed last time, has never raced this far and hasn't necessarily suggested she needs the extra distance.

Form: 900-346

(2)

Suzi's Connoisseur^t,v⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| D

6/1

Good handicapper at his best and gets to run off a lower mark switching back from AW. Disappointed last start but could easily bounce back.

Form: 3-50388

Majestic Moon⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 85| D

20/1

Enjoyed a good winter on the fibresand before something went amiss there last time. Can be competitive back on turf but returns on quite a high mark.

Form: 43-2120

London¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 85| D

9/2

Fibresand winner in January but has returned from AW still 5lb higher than last winning turf mark following a really tough ask at HQ. Needs to lead to produce his best and any rain would be appreciated.

Form: 180550

Salt Whistle Bay¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest| OR: 82| D

11/4

Rapidly improving front-running handicapper at the end of last season winning three and placed twice in his last five starts. Versatile regarding ground and stable has hit the ground running. Can improve again this campaign.

Form: 411312-

Ripp Orf²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 82

7/4

Has done all his racing so far at the one AW track but has looked very straightforward improving with every run. Turf debut but possible handicapper hasn't caught up with him yet.

Form: 42/2212

Forecasts

Ripp Orf (7/4), Salt Whistle Bay (11/4), London (9/2), Suzi's Connoisseur (6/1), Mountain Rescue (10/1), Afandem (16/1), Majestic Moon (20/1)

The bottom two are both still improving and have a good opportunity against some more exposed handicappers. Ripp Orf has raced solelly at Kempton and has looked one to follow particularly after taking another nice step up in a good novice race. SALT WHISTLE BAY gets a narrow verdict for an in form stable with another progressive profile and handles any ground. Mountain Rescue ran well in a similar race over C&D at the end of last season and should be competitive on his first start back.
