Perfect Words^p³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 62| CD

5/1

Form can be a little in-and-out. Beaten 4¾L by the thriving Spoofing just three days ago. On the face of it that wasn't a bad effort but can't be trusted to follow that up. Has won over C&D.

Form: 00-4704

Pearl Noir^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| D

3/1

Made the running at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time but is another one that was picked off by Spoofing. That was a good effort. Won't be as easy to get to the lead from a wide draw here though.

Mr Strutter¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Elliott| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 57| D

11/4

Slowly running himself back in to form and a fair effort at Beverley last time behind a rapidly improving rival. Dropped another 1lb and is now 7lb below his last winning mark. Drawn well and has solid claims.

Form: 06-5464

Andys Girl^p1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 54

12/1

Not had much racing in the last year or so. Beaten a long way on her recent reappearance at Redcar (6f, good to firm). Drops in trip here and should come on for that effort. Starting to look well handicapped but needs to do more to be of interest.

Form: 725/44-0

Kibaar^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51| D

3/1

Form has tailed off drastically over the last 12 months. Yard tend to do well with this type though and he is chucked in on his old form. Will surely click at some stage off such an attractive mark.

Thornaby Princess^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Paula Muir⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 45| D

25/1

Big prices in all four starts so far this year and it is very hard to make a case for her on that evidence. Has a decent draw but needs much more to be involved.

Form: 48-0099

Grandad Chunk⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Evans| T: C J Teague| OR: 45

25/1

14-race maiden who is regularly beaten a long way. Hard to enthuse over chances once gain today and others are preferred.

Form: 8-47856

Roman Times²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: A Berry| OR: 45

66/1

Made all to score by 1¼L for John Riches at Hamilton in August 2016 (gd/fm), but it's been a tale of woe since with her career record now standing at 1/22.

Form: 800-099

Well beaten in all 12 starts at huge odds and impossible to recommend despite the blinkers going on for the first time.

Forecasts

Mr Strutter (11/4), Pearl Noir (3/1), Kibaar (3/1), Perfect Words (5/1), Andys Girl (12/1), Thornaby Princess (25/1), Grandad Chunk (25/1), Mr Enthusiastic (25/1), Roman Times (66/1), Kirkby's Phantom (100/1)

Fairly weak stuff and easy to strike a line through plenty of them. Kibaar is surely going to take advantage of his current mark at some stage and is very much respected. He may get taken on early by Pearl Noir and the two of them may well set it up for MR STRUTTER. He has dropped 7lb below his last winning mark and shaped well behind an easy winner last time.
