Johni Boxit^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 60

3/1

Can be inconsistent and failed to back up Yarmouth win when disappointing here last time. Did lose a shoe and possibly found the trip too sharp so could make a bold bid from the front now up in trip. Visor replaced by cheekpieces.

Magojiro^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 46

6/1

Yet to place in five starts and generally well beaten. Takes a significant drop in class but still needs to find improvement.

Form: 6-0986

Malangen³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: B J Meehan

15/8

Well beaten on debut in novice event but was very green and trainer's runners tend to improve with experience. Drops to selling company and market support would be interesting.

Form: 6

Mistress Nellie^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 38

10/1

Yet to make an impression in five starts so far and well beaten behind Johni Boxit at Yarmouth last start. Has plenty to find.

Form: 00896

Mops Tango^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 38

40/1

Has struggled in all eight starts so far and needs to find some improvement despite the drop in class. Yet to prove she needs this far.

Form: 80-9907

(5)

Takiah¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 62

11/4

Looks very well treated on these terms based on her two thirds at this track and Nottingham. However stopped very quickly on handicap debut and now gets a drop in class. The one to beat if bouncing back but that remains a question.

Form: 5-336

Forecasts

Malangen (15/8), Takiah (11/4), Johni Boxit (3/1), Magojiro (6/1), Golden Guide (8/1), Mistress Nellie (10/1), Rhosmaen Street (33/1), Mops Tango (40/1)

Dropping to this grade Takiah would be hard to beat on these terms if returning to the form of her second and third starts. However something seemed to be amiss last time and she will face competition for the lead from Johni Boxit who likewise needs to bounce back from a below par performance but drops into a race lacking depth. A chance is taken with MALANGEN who was very green on debut and should know plenty more on this sharp drop in class.
