Screaming Gemini^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 67

7/1

Maiden who returned with great promise when not got getting the clearest runs over 7f on the AW before being denied in a four-way photo. Looks to have more to offer this season and should be suited by the mile.

Form: 74/250-4

Sublimation³⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: S Gollings| OR: 60| D

16/1

Yet to win in handicap company but two recent close runner-up efforts suggest he's on a handy mark at present and should be competitive again.

Form: 78/0322-

Slow To Hand^b¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: W Jarvis| OR: 60| C

85/40

Last year's win came over 7f here and while he didn't stay over further again at this track last start he may prove better when dropped back to that distance. Slowly edging back in the weights but others look better handicapped.

Form: 012557-

Misu Pete^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: S De Sousa| T: M D I Usher| OR: 57

2/1

All wins have been at shorter but stays this trip fine having been just edged out over further last time. Back on last winning mark and remains a leading contender.

Form: 670483

Dor's Law^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 55| D

7/2

Consistent performer on the AW throughout the winter but remains on a mark that leaves her vulnerable to improving rivals. Still lightly-raced on turf though and should be competitive again.

Form: 142336

Candesta^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 51| D

16/1

Inconsistent performer who returns to turf on a 9lb lower mark than AW. Better form has been on synthetics and others preferred.

Form: 051-927

Forecasts

Misu Pete (2/1), Slow To Hand (85/40), Dor's Law (7/2), Screaming Gemini (7/1), King Oswald (7/1), Channel Packet (14/1), Sublimation (16/1), Candesta (16/1)

Sublimation remains on a competitive mark and is respected in a very open affair. Misu Pete is back to a winnable handicap mark and will appreciate the drop down in distance. SCREAMING GEMINI shouldn't be a maiden for very long if he's able to build on a very encouraging narrow fourth on his return and represents a leading stable just starting to hit form.
