Demurrer²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M L W Bell| OR: 62

2/1

Only a lightly-raced sort he makes his turf/handicap debut having run four times so far on the AW. Not seen out for a while he needs to find some improvement but does look the type to better at this age; has been gelded.

Good Impression^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 62

7/1

Still a maiden and as yet unproven on turf having beaten a sum total of five rivals home on the surface so far. Drops down to the shortest trip he's tried since the start of the year; still looks a little high in the handicap.

Telltale¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: M R Channon| OR: 58

8/1

Eased a couple of pounds from his opening mark after his handicap debut at Chepstow (7f, good/firm) where he made some late headway. Now tries a 2f further trip although his mark still looks a little high to win even in this grade.

Form: 0-054

Willingforshilling^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 52

9/2

Newcomer to handicaps she has on her form so far looked to be of limited ability and was well beaten last time. A step into this sphere may give her more of a chance off a fairly lowly mark.

Form: 0-05

Oakley Mimosa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Bentley| T: S C Williams| OR: 50

15/8

Just the sort who looks to have been brought along with this discipline in mind (bred to be useful/better than her mark). Given three very quick runs to gain a mark all over shorter trips; one to note in the market.

Forecasts

Oakley Mimosa (15/8), Demurrer (2/1), Willingforshilling (9/2), Good Impression (7/1), Telltale (8/1), Madam Dragonfly (16/1)

The word maiden may well be missing from the title of this handicap as none of the protagonists are yet to win a race with their collective score reading 0-27. It should be pointed out though that more is expected from one or two now that they go handicapping. OAKLEY MIMOSA looks to have been prepared for a more forward showing in handicaps and should show more in this discipline along with Demurrer who looks the type to make a better three-year-old. Willingforshilling is also expected to show more in handicaps with Good Impression and Telltale having marks that look a little testing on what they have shown so far.
