Flower Power^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 58

4/1

Has stayed on nicely last two starts over 1m4f so this extra two furlongs may well make a difference. Well handicapped on best of her form of a couple of years ago and appears in decent shape at present.

Form: 00/7044

Dream Serenade^h¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: M Appleby| OR: 58

11/2

Won over this trip at Yarmouth in May last year and has been resting since winning at Southwell in February having been very busy through the winter campaign. 173-day absence to overcome and usually needs an outing or two to hit form.

Form: 333-021

Affair²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 53| D

5/4

Fourth of 15 last time at Leicester and this step back up in trip should help having won over this distance on turf twice last season. Goes well for this young rider and appears to have solid claims.

Form: 10-6524

Tingo In The Tale^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: A Forbes| OR: 47| C

9/1

Stays this trip on AW but less certain on turf, latest win having come over 1m2f here 11 months ago. Running well enough over timber of late and is on a favourable mark, but stamina is a concern.

Form: 97-5006

(7)

Artic Nel^h1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: P Hanagan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 46

7/2

Nine runs and still to reach a place despite a falling mark. Represents decent trainer and top jockey, but needs to pull something out of the hat to win.

Form: 557-855

L'Es Fremantle⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Sara Del Fabbro⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45

100/1

0-49 under both codes and yet to reach a place in 18 runs on turf on the Flat. Pulled up in 3m chase last week. Should give young rider a fun ride round but won't trouble the principals.

Form: 80/7-700

Forecasts

Affair (5/4), Artic Nel (7/2), Flower Power (4/1), Dream Serenade (11/2), Tingo In The Tale (9/1), Fool To Cry (14/1), L'Es Fremantle (100/1)

AFFAIR did enough last time to suggest this race could be hers for the taking if running to a similar level and she goes well for this young rider. Dream Serenade usually needs a run or two to hit form so her six-month absence is a concern, but Flower Power has run satisfactorily of late and may be the one to give the selection most to do. Fool To Cry has been disappointing but this represents her easiest task for some time.
