Off time: 18:01 | Winning time: 1m 31.47s

(7)

Kody Ridge¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69

11/4

Looks as though he could win a race like this although he has yet to really prove himself over this 7f having come up short over the distance last time. Stable continue in decent form and he is favoured at the weights but doubts remain.

Form: 100473

(3)

Major Crispies^e/c1,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65

5/2

Hardly the most reliable type and gets another change of headgear applied here with the eyeshields going on for the first-time along with a tongue-tie. His latest two starts in handicaps (slow away last time) have failed to impress.

Form: 625200

(5)

Bling King^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: G A Harker| OR: 59

9/2

Not disgraced last time out in a handicap at Carlisle over 2f further coming back from a fair absence. Not run over this trip for a fair while and might struggle for pace at this trip and badly off at the weights also.

Form: 22225-6

Chiswick Bey^p¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 49| CD

9/1

C&D winner who is now on a fair losing run having dropped markedly in the handicap (would have beaten this lot easily on his old form). Did show a little promise two starts ago but hasn't really built on that; drops in grade now.

Form: 890377

(8)

Arcane Dancer^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 50| CD

3/1

Fared well enough over a trip (1m1f) that tests her stamina to the limit last time out at Carlisle in handicap company. Now brought back to the scene of her last win and dropped into a claimer she can be given a chance in this.

Form: 88-4055

(6)

Zarkavon^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 40

66/1

Basically only capable of poor form and still a maiden after 17 runs on the Flat finishing a creditable 4th last time out but is no better than that. Faces a tough task at the weights here and hard to see her getting off the mark.

Form: 925884

(2)

Westfield Wonder³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A Elliott| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 46

50/1

Wore blinkers for the first-time on his last start (removed here) and hard to say they brought about any improvement at all. That run was over 6f and he steps up to 7f here (tried at this trip before); needs others to underperform.

Form: 5-53909

(4)

Jackie Sparrow^e/c¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: J Fanning| T: C Allen

33/1

Two runs to her name so far and showed very little in a 6f AW claimer last time and even in a poor event like this it's hard to see her making much impression.

Form: 07

Forecasts

Major Crispies (5/2), Kody Ridge (11/4), Arcane Dancer (3/1), Bling King (9/2), Chiswick Bey (9/1), Jackie Sparrow (33/1), Westfield Wonder (50/1), Zarkavon (66/1)

A low grade event to start the card with solid options hard to find even at the supposed top end of the market. Major Crispies is capable in this grade but he can be slow away and isn’t the most reliable and with Kody Ridge the form choice yet to prove himself over 7f it may be best to look elsewhere for the suggestion. ARCANE DANCER fared well enough last time over a trip that would have stretched her and she has run some of her best races over C&D. Bling King is another who can be given a chance although this trip might be a little sharp for him.
