Miss Dd^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| BF

11/4

Losing run continues with her last win coming in June 2017 when with the Dascombe yard, that was only her second start. She's yet to win for this yard or in a handicap but ran with credit last time and looks a solid type in this grade.

Form: 653452

Burmese Blazer^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 62

11/2

Still a maiden he ran better than his finishing position would suggest last time having travelled well (met trouble). Now back over a C&D he's run well over before but with a relatively poor draw; can't be written off though.

Form: 634525

Life For Rent^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| D

6/1

Cheekpieces now go on for the first time having been tried in blinkers the last twice but is fairly exposed even at this modest level. Should run his race but has been beaten off this mark the last twice and needs the cheekpieces to eke out more.

Mosseyb²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 59

7/1

The sort who may do better in time having joined a yard that do well with their sprinters although he's shown little in four starts for them so far. Has the plumb draw here but given his previous starts looks unlikely to make use of it.

Form: 484305

Jeffrey Harris²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58

25/1

Only had the three runs so far and remains a maiden who now makes his handicap debut. Likely to have more chance in this sphere but could need the experience starting life of a stiff enough mark.

Form: 843

Honey Gg^b1⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Izzy Clifton⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 46

7/1

The visor appeared to help her produce a slightly better performance last time and more severe headgear (blinkers) are now used for the first time. Her form is modest overall though and she will need others to falter to win this.

Form: 55-2484

Your Just Desserts¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 45

7/2

From a yard that are performing better now she took a step forward at Catterick last time posting her best performance yet. That form is still modest enough but at last she runs off her correct mark this time; not ruled out of this.

Form: 0-06443

Pavarella Shoes^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: D Fentiman| T: N Wilson| OR: 45

80/1

Had shown some speed in maiden/minor races before she went handicapping with the two starts in that sphere offering little even when dropped into selling grade last time. Cheekpieces go on but hard to make a case for her.

Form: 93-997

(7)

Zizum^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: A Berry| OR: 45

50/1

Already with his 3rd yard and with 10 defeats in handicaps to his name he looks one of the less likely candidates in this. Yard are badly out of form and he's easily opposed having looked limited so far.

Form: 568088

Rock In Society^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Donohoe| OR: 45

14/1

His performances this year have been peppered with absences and he looks the sort who has been difficult to train. Makes just his 2nd turf start here having shown little on the AW with headgear going back on; hard to recommend.

Form: 000004

Forecasts

Miss Dd (11/4), Your Just Desserts (7/2), Burmese Blazer (11/2), Life For Rent (6/1), Mosseyb (7/1), Honey Gg (7/1), Rock In Society (14/1), Jeffrey Harris (25/1), Zizum (50/1), Pavarella Shoes (80/1)

A low-grade end to the card over 5f with YOUR JUST DESSERTS entrusted with the selection having run well enough on her last start at Catterick looking as though she was capable of winning something like this from a good draw. Miss Dd looks a sound sort who should run her race with Burmese Blazer included in calculations if he gets a better run through the race this time from what looks to be an awkward draw. Life For Rent has had more than enough chances and connections will be hoping that the first-time cheekpieces can eke out some further progress and the same could be said for Honey Gg in first-time blinkers.
