Tarte Tropezienne²²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84

5/4

Improved with each run in maidens scoring on her third start over 1m4f before running with credit in two handicaps. Has a smart pedigree and likely to prove better than her current mark particularly in a strongly run race.

Jelly Monger¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 82

10/1

Capable of some smart form but her only Flat win remains the maiden she took on her debut. Faced some stiff tasks last year but was on the whole essentially below form and she'll need to bounce back here after a winter break.

Flight Of Fantasy^h¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 81

7/2

Turned in her best performance so far when taking a 1m4f handicap from the front on the AW. That win was gained in favourable circumstances and although she tried to repeat the trick the higher mark held her back; runs off slightly lower here.

Form: 4482-12

All My Love¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 81| C

13/2

Not seen on the Flat since the end of 2017 when she ran two sound races winning at Catterick over this trip. That win has left her with a rather lofty mark to deal with but she arrives here fit from hurdling and is a course winner in the past.

Voi^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C Allen| OR: 74

7/2

Her three-year-old form was quite strong in places and she's left the impression in two runs this year that she can cope with this mark (tries this trip for the first time). Only beaten by a progressive type at Yarmouth and should run well here.

Form: 2634-32

Forecasts

Tarte Tropezienne (5/4), Voi (7/2), Flight Of Fantasy (7/2), All My Love (13/2), Jelly Monger (10/1)

Quite a competitive little event with TARTE TROPEZIENNE being the one that stands out as the real improving type despite the fact she has yet to win a handicap. Both her efforts in handicaps last year suggesting she can win off this mark and her yard has made a good start to the year. All My Love arrives fit from hurdling but her mark on the Flat looks a stiff one and bigger dangers are likely to come via the front-running Flight Of Fantasy and the up in distance Voi who ran into another progressive type (Mordin) last time at Yarmouth.
