Dusty¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 66

8/1

Has made little progress during her career and down the field last time in a weak race on handicap debut. Has dropped down the weights and young rider has an impressive 4-14 strike rate.

Form: 830-35

(8)

Kraka^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Quinn| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 65

12/1

Maiden who has competed at higher levels than this. Claimed out of an above-average seller and debuts for new yard, but doubts persist about his temperament.

Form: 0-65745

(9)

General Jack^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 65

8/1

Showed some promise in his first couple of starts in a pair of AW races over the winter but he's been well beaten in three turf starts. Cheekpieces on for first time.

Form: 4-3667

(5)

Global Rose^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 64

6/1

Beaten by odds-on favourites on her last three starts. Drops into a class 6 for the first time with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 48-5222

(2)

Lethal Angel¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: S C Williams| OR: 63

11/8

Has been running over further of late in stronger company whilst lacking the pace to launch a serious challenge. In a mediocre race with in-form jockey on board so has to be considered. Engaged Yarmouth 7:50 Wednesday.

Form: 83-3054

(3)

Spenny's Lass¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 56

7/1

Has faded close home in all her races beyond 5f although her C&D second would still rate her best performance. Soundly beaten on all three starts since and hard to fancy.

Form: 852875

(6)

African Girl^v1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 45

14/1

Runner-up over C&D in similar company but well beaten on both starts since and headgear fitted for first time.

Form: 35-9209

(1)

India Jane^p,h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 45

66/1

Sent off at 66/1 on handicap debut here two weeks ago when persistently hanging left despite all the headgear. Looks one to avoid at present.

Form: 0-006

(4)

Pam's Angel¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Moubarak| OR: 45

16/1

Has revealed little in three starts and has earned a modest opening handicap mark. Dropped in trip and class.

Form: 066

Forecasts

Lethal Angel (11/8), Global Rose (6/1), Spenny's Lass (7/1), General Jack (8/1), Dusty (8/1), Kraka (12/1), African Girl (14/1), Pam's Angel (16/1), India Jane (66/1)

It is hard to be convinced by any of these but LETHAL ANGEL has been running at a much better level than this and the booking of Jim Crowley takes the eye. Global Rose has bumped into some improving types on her last three starts and does not have that problem here, however she has looked weak in a finish and cheekpieces may be the answer. Kraka and Dusty may scrap it out for the minor honours.
