Time To Perfection¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 60

33/1

Looked to have been brought along with handicaps in mind but turned in a very poor effort on her debut in that sphere. Same inexperienced rider takes the mount again and hard to know what to expect off 4lb lower and 2f further.

Form: 747-9

Purple Jazz²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: George Baker| OR: 58

11/4

Made a decent impression on his handicap debut on the AW (Lingfield, 1m4f) coming from further back than the winner to take the runner-up slot. Travelled well through the race; now makes turf debut off 2lb and over 2f further.

Form: 099-2

Acquirer^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 57

9/2

Looks to have been a question of learning the ropes and given how much he cost as a yearling he's likely to show more at some point. Gained his mark at trips of 1m and shorter and now stepped up considerably for his handicap debut.

Form: 9-60

Raven's Song³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 56

16/1

Showed little as a juvenile and may well have needed the run on her handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, heavy). Dropped 4lb for that initial effort this mark still demands plenty over the longest distance she's tried.

Form: 947-6

Altra Vita¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 55

6/4

Looks a typical project from this trainer and no surprise to see considerable improvement now that she goes handicapping over a stamina-laden trip. Pedigree screams that she will do better at this trip and one to note in market.

Zarrar^b,t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M Dwyer| T: B G Powell| OR: 54

4/1

Got the run of the race last time under a good ride to score on his handicap debut (tongue-tie first time) on the AW at Lingfield over 1m4f off a lowly mark (46). Given an 8lb rise for that win but should appreciate this trip; turf debut.

Forecasts

Altra Vita (6/4), Purple Jazz (11/4), Zarrar (4/1), Acquirer (9/2), Raven's Song (16/1), Sigrid Nansen (16/1), Time To Perfection (33/1)

This trip is much more in keeping with the pedigree of ALTRA VITA and her trainer has a notable record with this type when they are given a proper trip. Purple Jazz and Zarrar clashed last time out with the latter getting the better of the former but at the revised weights that form could well be revered. Of the others Acquirer is the most interesting having been brought along steadily and now given a chance over a testing distance.
