Wolstonbury³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk| OR: 62

5/2

First outing in a nursery when third of seven at Lingfield last month. Returns to the AW off 1lb lower and, as he seems to be going the right way, he enters calculations.

Form: 96553

Arishka¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 60

12/1

Promise in three starts in novice company, but first run in a nursery over C&D saw her finish eighth of nine after being hampered at the start. Cheekpieces she wore then are left off and she may be capable of better off 3lb lower.

Form: 6308

(2)

Micronize¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59

7/2

Good effort to be a fairly close fourth of 10 on handicap bow at Ayr. Normal progress would see her firmly in the mix off a 1lb lower rating.

Form: 0664

(9)

Macho Lady¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55

5/1

Behind Micronize when sixth on her nursery debut at Ayr. Led for a long way that day and she may take a bit more catching at this venue off 2lb lower.

Form: 8546

(5)

Kg Passion⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 55

5/1

Has failed to hit the frame in five outings, the latest in handicap company. Hard to fancy despite lower handicap mark.

Form: 59799

(4)

Lincoln Red³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 53

16/1

Well beaten in four starts in novice/maiden events. Makes his handicap debut and may do better, but others hold stronger claims.

Form: 0008

(3)

Maddfourmaggy⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 47

14/1

Hints of ability in three novice contests. First run in a nursery and can only be considered if the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 898

(8)

Alban Lady⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: A Elliott| T: C R Dore| OR: 45

40/1

Not a great deal of promise in maiden, novice and selling company. Needs to show significant improvement now she is handicapping.

Form: 004

(1)

Nagging Doubt¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

22/1

Has failed to beat a rival in three runs in novice/maiden contests. Plenty to prove as she makes her handicap and AW bow.

Form: 060

(6)

Yfenni²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

33/1

No chance when a distant third of four behind a promising sort at Lingfield last time. Previous form moderate so she is another with questions to answer on her handicap debut.

Form: 003

Forecasts

Wolstonbury (5/2), Micronize (7/2), Macho Lady (5/1), Kg Passion (5/1), Arishka (12/1), Maddfourmaggy (14/1), Lincoln Red (16/1), Nagging Doubt (22/1), Yfenni (33/1), Alban Lady (40/1)

Those at the bottom end of the handicap seem to have their limitations so the ones who make most appeal are Wolstonbury, Macho Lady and MICRONIZE, with the latter pair renewing Ayr rivalry. The selection is not guaranteed to confirm the form, but seems to be progressing and gets a narrow vote. Arishka is another to consider.
