Guardia Svizzera^h²^{(ex 12)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 60| CD

1/1

Slammed a subsequent winner by 4L over C&D before making short work of his rivals on Wednesday. Versatile in terms of trip/ground/tactics and will take plenty of beating despite a double penalty.

Form: 673211

Who Told Jo Jo^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 65| D

20/1

Has won two races this year but, although he has won off higher in the past, this mark currently looks beyond him

Form: 417160

Geoff Potts¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62

6/1

Record has slipped to 1-21 but the handicapper has been reacting accordingly and each-way chances now the ground has turned in his favour.

Form: 429464

(9)

Burmese Blazer^h²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 62| D

7/1

Built on previous promise to score on Wednesday. In a stronger race this time on slower ground and at a track where he has underperformed previously.

Hot Hannah^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 58| D

20/1

Beaten a nose in this last year and 6lb lower here. Hard to overlook her performances since and others readily preferred.

Form: 280-880

(5)

Sienna Dream²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: A C Whillans| OR: 54

33/1

Lightly raced maiden whose best effort came on a soft surface for handicap bow when a stronger pace would have helped her settle. Has not replicated that effort since on different surfaces, but a danger to all if doing so off 6lb lower.

Form: 549-390

(10)

Palavicini Run¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: K Stott| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 51| D

50/1

Offered little encouragement back over 5f and has for the most part run poorly over various trips. Continues to fall in the weights but hard to imagine her winning this.

Form: 976700

(2)

Dutch Dream¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 50| CD

28/1

C&D winner has been below her best this term and hard to see her taking advantage of this mark in a better than average class 6.

Form: 1779-09

(3)

Rockley Point^b⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 49

8/1

Record is now 1-36 but due to go up 2lb from Saturday after his latest run at Carlisle. Performed better than expected on a soft surface that day, however it has been a while since he put two good runs together.

Form: 759992

(7)

Knockamany Bends^h³³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 47| CD

28/1

Last success came over 6f on easy ground at Musselburgh in October last year and hasn't done much of note so far this season. Goes for a third straight win in this but others make more appeal.

Form: 10-8950

(8)

Redeeming^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: E J Alston| OR: 45

11/1

Has plenty of pace but this track should prove too stiff and he has been withdrawn previously when conditions were soft. Has a small class 6 in him but this looks better than the average for the grade.

Form: 703528

Forecasts

Guardia Svizzera (1/1), Geoff Potts (6/1), Burmese Blazer (7/1), Rockley Point (8/1), Redeeming (11/1), Hot Hannah (20/1), Who Told Jo Jo (20/1), Knockamany Bends (28/1), Dutch Dream (28/1), Sienna Dream (33/1), Palavicini Run (50/1)

GUARDIA SVIZZERA is hard to overlook in his current mood and can complete a ten day hat-trick. The ground helps Geoff Potts and Sienna Dream off their falling marks and both have strong place claims, whilst Burmese Blazer faces stronger company than when successful on Wednesday. Rockley Point was better last week and is on the right side of the handicapper, but he is inconsistent these days and needs to run to a higher level here.
