Dusty⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 64| C

9/2

Showed her well being and got off the mark when landing a 5½f handicap at this track eight days ago. Slightly longer distance of this race is not an issue, but 6lb penalty makes life tough.

Form: 355231

(2)

Flora Tristan^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 67

9/2

Still a maiden after 10 starts, but showed enough when runner-up on her latest run at Kempton to suggest she can put that right before too long. Has been raised 2lb, which is not ideal.

Form: 738442

Arcanista^b⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 58| CD

11/8

Only two wins from 42 starts, but the latest of those came a week ago over C&D when she scored decisively in selling company under this jockey. Turned out under a 6lb penalty and has obvious claims.

Form: 822801

Whitecrest²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J L Spearing| OR: 63| CD

6/1

Veteran who has 10 wins on her CV. Not as good as she used to be, but can still be effective on her day as she showed when bolting up at Nottingham off 5lb lower in June. Looks to have her share of weight.

Form: 816655

Dream For Life^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 62

16/1

First run in a handicap when a creditable fourth of seven at Bath last week. Races off the same mark and enters calculations with improvement on the cards.

Form: 440324

(6)

Copilot²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 60

20/1

Only four runs so far, the latest of which saw her finish last of seven in her first handicap at Salisbury. Has been dropped 2lb, but has a bit to prove.

Form: 5657

(4)

Compton Abbey^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 57| D

11/1

Winner on the Kempton AW for Brett Johnson in March. Couple of decent efforts since joining current yard and should be competitive off this handicap rating.

Form: 176239

Forecasts

Arcanista (11/8), Flora Tristan (9/2), Dusty (9/2), Whitecrest (6/1), Compton Abbey (11/1), Dream For Life (16/1), Copilot (20/1)

Dream For Life made a promising start to life in handicaps, but may still have a bit to learn so this may be fought out by Dusty and ARCANISTA, who are both turned out under penalties for victories at this track. The latter gets a narrow vote in a race in which Flora Tristan should also be on the premises.
