Round The Island¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 61

9/1

Without a win since landing a 6f Pontefract handicap last summer. May need this seasonal reappearance to put an edge on him, so probably best watched on his first race on Fibresand,

Form: 057904-

Mimic's Memory¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 58| CD

6/1

Only win in 15 AW starts came over C&D almost a year ago. Close second at Newcastle last time suggested she may be about to strike and she is only 1lb higher than that last winning mark.

Form: 353262

Best Tamayuz^b³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| CD

5/2

Standing dish at this track and showed his well being when just touched off over 1m on Monday. Races off a 4lb lower mark so it is no surprise that connections run him again so quickly, with drop to 7f not an issue.

Form: 913402

Cryptonite⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| D

5/1

Two good runs to be placed on his return to action this season so 2lb rise in the weights is justified. Well behind Mimic's Memory on his only previous run at this venue, however.

Form: 8160-32

Limerick Lord^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 57| BF| CD

6/1

Successive wins at this course before running well to be fourth off a much higher mark on his return to turf at Brighton. Lumbered with the same rating, but has to be respected back at this venue.

Form: 048114

Baron Run³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: K R Burke| OR: 54

10/3

Making his seasonal reappearance when a close second over C&D last month. Has gone up 4lb, but that could be counteracted by a superior fitness level following that run.

Form: 54660-2

Rebel Sky³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 50

25/1

Last win came at Chelmsford in August, 2016, and four runs since a long absence have confirmed she is not in the same sort of form. Handicap mark is taking a nosedive, but she has plenty to prove.

Forecasts

Best Tamayuz (5/2), Baron Run (10/3), Cryptonite (5/1), Limerick Lord (6/1), Mimic's Memory (6/1), Round The Island (9/1), Iconic Figure (14/1), Rebel Sky (25/1)

C&D winner Mimic's Memory has to go on the short list at these weights and Limerick Lord is also entitled to plenty of respect on a surface he relishes. However, the selection is BEST TAMAYUZ, who also loves this venue and is weighted to win this following a fine run earlier in the week. Cryptonite and Baron Run are others to consider in a decent race of its type.
