Simpson & Marwick Supports Muirfield Riding Therapy Nursery

Off time: 15:31 | Winning time: 59.71s

(10)

Epona¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 67

2/1

Placed in all three novice contests at Hamilton, Ayr and latest at Southwell on AW. Possibly improving so has to be of interest on handicap debut in a pretty ordinary nursery.

Form: 233

(3)

Primeiro Boy¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

10/1

Promise in a couple of his races but still yet to make the frame in six races. Latest last of six over C&D a pretty ordinary effort. Handicap continues to slide but others have stronger claims.

Form: 555056

Cobweb Catcher^h²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: R Spencer| OR: 63

9/2

Minor promise shown in three races including latest at Chelmsford (AW) after a break in the first-time headgear. Hard to be confident as he steps into handicaps for the first time.

Form: 807

(6)

Josiebond³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 62

22/1

Ripon third on debut was quite promising but remains comfortably her best effort to date. Weakened into 12th of 14 on handicap debut at Thirsk last time and much more needed although handles soft ground so rain may aid.

Form: 3600

One One Seven³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61| D

10/1

The only winner in the field (5f, Beverley) when trained by Amy Murphy. Comfortably his best effort for current connections latest when a close third at Ayr beaten just 1L over this trip. That form solid and looks a leading player.

Form: 461083

(2)

Frosted Lass²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 60

7/1

Staying on sixth of 12 over 5f at Thirsk on penultimate start before seeming to tire upped to 6f latest at same venue although she was third of 11. Has ability and a fair weight to start out in handicaps.

Form: 063

(7)

The Big House²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 58

17/2

Big prices and never really competitive in three novice contests at Ripon, Thirsk and Redcar. Move into handicaps hopefully helps but not seen enough to recommend him.

Form: 898

(1)

Lang Toun Lady^b¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 55

7/1

Dropped to a seller at Ripon latest and managed third in first-time blinkers at 22/1. Shown little beforehand and that race lacked any strength in depth but this not a great deal stronger so has to be considered.

Form: 8693

(4)

Newgate Angel¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 55

20/1

Shown little in four races and was 200/1 on last start at Ripon (remote seventh of 10). Unsurprisingly has a low weight for handicap debut but still hard to be optimistic.

Form: 8797

(8)

Little Tipple¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Ryan| OR: 50

28/1

Best effort to date latest when dropped back to 6f at Brighton although she only beat one home in the end but showed plenty of pace so drop to the minimum distance may be the answer and has a feather weight here.

Form: 8504

Forecasts

Epona (2/1), Cobweb Catcher (9/2), Lang Toun Lady (7/1), Frosted Lass (7/1), The Big House (17/2), Primeiro Boy (10/1), One One Seven (10/1), Newgate Angel (20/1), Josiebond (22/1), Little Tipple (28/1)

ONE ONE SEVEN is the only one of these to win a race and his latest third at Ayr off the same weight was his best start since. He ticks the most boxes for this quite ordinary nursery and will take all of the beating. Keith Dalgleish runs two and both merit serious consideration with handicap debutant Epona slightly preferred to Lang Toun Lady.
