Melodies²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 79

9/4

Both her turf starts (first two runs) showed promise over 7f finishing in the first four both times and looking capable of better. Easy to back on her AW debut over 1m she was below form but remains with potential back on turf making handicap debut.

Form: 425-

Frolic²³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76

3/1

Despite this being her handicap debut she looks more exposed than most of these having had five runs as a juvenile finding one too good on a couple of occasions. Her last run made her look like a hard ride (first-time blinkers); removed here.

Form: 38226-

Lumi^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 75| D

7/1

Only made her debut this year winning a minor event over 1m on her second start although that was an uncompetitive event. Failed to impress on her handicap debut and far too highly tried last time out in a Listed event over 1m2f.

Form: 31255

Paramount Love¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

3/1

Maiden who has now had four attempts in handicaps and looks on no more that an average mark despite the handicapper slowly releasing the brakes. Midfield here over C&D last time and vulnerable to any improving types.

Form: 32537-5

Harvest Day^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64

4/1

A dual AW scorer earlier in the year over 7f off lowly marks she looks to have run well back on turf last time seeing out a longer trip well. Possibly didn't get the run of the race there (form franked); back in trip but of interest still.

Form: 547-114

Forecasts

Melodies (9/4), Paramount Love (3/1), Frolic (3/1), Autumn Leaves (7/2), Harvest Day (4/1), Golden Iris (5/1), Fille De Reve (13/2), Lumi (7/1), Hunni (10/1)

Plenty of unexposed sorts here alongside others that have already shown solid handicap form in an interesting heat. HARVEST DAY would be more exposed than some of these but her run last time out showed that she was capable off this mark and on turf and despite the drop in trip she’s worth siding with here. Melodies remains with potential now that she goes handicapping with Fille De Reve another that would fit into that category if she settles better. Autumn Leaves comes from a stable that do well in this sphere and she looks fairly handicapped with Golden Iris another can’t be left out of the mix.
