Sheriff Garrett^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr William Easterby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| C

7/2

Twice a winner at shorter here and possibly open to more improvement on an AW surface, however well beaten on both starts so far this year.

Form: 5422-64

(12)

Full Suit¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: A Watson| OR: 69

10/1

Set a stiff task in a warm novice race and now makes handicap debut. Definite possibilities now up in trip with top amateur rider booked.

Form: 7/24

Brigadoon¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr James Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 68

18/1

Front running veteran who came back to form last time. Winning form has come at shorter and possibly needs further help from the handicapper.

Three Colours Red^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr C Dowson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 65| BF| CD

7/1

Possibilities on good second on return in March but has been below par in two runs since, once on the AW and the other over hurdles.

Form: 6/413-27

City Dreamer³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Alex Edwards| T: A King| OR: 66| BF| D

10/3

Good hurdler who remains a maiden on the Flat but an opening win shouldn't be far away. Excuses last twice in this sphere when not getting a clear run and then unsuited by tactical race. Looks to be plenty of pace here which will suit.

Form: 87/75-24

Hewouldwouldnthe⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr J Harding⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 62

40/1

Testing conditions against her last time but previously also disappointing on the AW and needs to bounce back.

Form: 843-306

(3)

Ladurelli^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 60

18/1

Three poor runs since joining current trainer and while he is dropping in the weights is best watched at present.

Form: 96-6988

(8)

Party Royal^p,h⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: N J Gifford| OR: 60

40/1

Back on a feasible mark but can be hard to catch right and needs to bounce back from disappointing over a distance he's unproven over.

Form: 31575-7

Ballyfarsoon^v¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 58| CD

22/1

Winner over C&D on last run for Ian Williams but well beaten in two starts for new stable and best watched.

Form: 8521-77

(6)

Down Time^b³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 57

40/1

Had shown little for some time before bouncing back with win in AW seller. Form nothing special and more required up in grade and trip.

Form: 3/609-91

(2)

Air Ministry^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 57

7/2

Maiden but has suggested a win should be withing his grasp in two promising runs for respected trainer both at this track. Hit the line strongly both times with suggestion there is more improvement to come at this distance.

Form: 8557-24

(13)

Casemates Square¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 52| BF

12/1

Possibly needed the run here last start and still looked as though he is learning the game. More improvement to come than most of his rivals and should be competitive.

Forecasts

City Dreamer (10/3), Air Ministry (7/2), Sheriff Garrett (7/2), Doesyourdogbite (4/1), Three Colours Red (7/1), Full Suit (10/1), Casemates Square (12/1), Brigadoon (18/1), Ladurelli (18/1), Ballyfarsoon (22/1), Hewouldwouldnthe (40/1), Party Royal (40/1), Down Time (40/1)

Casemates Square, Air Ministry and Full Suit are open to more progress than many of these exposed rivals and all three should be competitive in a race lacking depth. There looks to be plenty of speed on the front end and that could play into the strengths of CITY DREAMER who has been crying out for a true test of stamina in his last two Flat starts and can now transfer some smart hurdling form.
