Flying Foxy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 64| D

7/1

Lightly-raced but shaped well enough after a 9 month absence last time out at Beverley over 5f on quick ground (forced pace). Interesting to see if she can build on that as she failed to do just that after a winning debut last year.

Form: 5/174-5

Savannah Beau^h,v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| D

9/1

Outsider and looked to need the run at Beverley last time after time off (behind Flying Foxy) but does now have a reduced mark to work with (not won for a while). First run in this grade (0-65) and worth noting in the market.

Atlanta Belle³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: T P Queally| T: C F Wall| OR: 60

9/1

Well held on turf last time a surface she's not proven on and will be happier back on the AW although 5f may prove a little sharp (only win at 6f). At her best when allowed to dominate and will find that tough from a wide draw.

Krystallite^b¹¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| CD

11/2

C&D winner on her penultimate start but had plenty in her favour on that occasion (handicap mark, good draw, blinkers and a good ride). Not so well drawn here last time and unable to dominate she needs her winning scenario to score again.

Form: 6460-17

John Joiner²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: S L Keightley| OR: 56| D

16/1

Modest handicapper who has struggled to back to the form of his back-to-back wins over 5f in mid-2016. Had held his form relatively well though until running below-par last time out and now has his first run for a new yard.

Ty Rock Brandy^b1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: L Smyth| OR: 64| CD

3/1

Yet to be beaten over C&D (2/2); recorded wins either side of the New Year when well found in the market on both occasions. Last two runs (both on AW) have not quite lived up to the level of her wins; not one to take lightly though.

Form: 91-4145

Sensory³⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 62

3/1

Formerly with John Gosden her progress looked to have stalled in three runs for that yard and she now makes her stable/handicap debut trying 5f for the first time. Joined a stable that excel with sprinters and could step forward; poorly drawn.

Form: 897-

Teepee Time^b¹⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 51| CD

20/1

The addition of blinkers appeared to bring about some improvement when landing back-to-back handicaps last year on turf over 5f. Given a break after the last win she has failed to pick up that form and looked out of sorts when last seen.

Form: 115708-

Monsieur Mel^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 48

14/1

Won't be helped by the widest draw (can be slow away) and being 2lb out of the handicap here and despite shaping relatively well when last seen on the AW she's still a maiden. Ran poorly on turf last time and one to watch rather than back.

Rich Harvest⁶⁷⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: R E Peacock| OR: 45

200/1

Veteran sprinter who last won in 2008 and returns from a monster absence in this from 5lb out of the handicap. Despite a good draw it's hard to see him being goo enough to take a hand in this.

Forecasts

Ty Rock Brandy (3/1), Sensory (3/1), Krystallite (11/2), Flying Foxy (7/1), Atlanta Belle (9/1), Savannah Beau (9/1), Monsieur Mel (14/1), John Joiner (16/1), Red Invader (16/1), Teepee Time (20/1), Rich Harvest (200/1)

Hard to find too many solid options in this modest opener and SAVANNAH BEAU is taken a chance with dropping into this grade for the first time after looking to need the run. Flying Foxy was just in front of him on that occasion and if she can build on that run (didn’t build on debut win last year) then she too can take a hand in this. Red Invader has a decent draw but will need to bounce back to the form of his win although he does still remain well handicapped on his old form and his yard are good with this sort especially if the market signals are strong for him. Ty Rock Brandy is unbeaten over C&D and has to be respected on that form.
