Alexandrakollontai^b¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 74| CD

33/1

Not always the easiest to predict but hard to make a case for after being beaten out of sight the last twice.

Form: 423160

Rinaria^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 74| D

14/1

Well held second last start and generally struggling off higher. Finally back to last winning mark but needs to find extra to be involved.

Form: 065262

(7)

Ladies First¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 73| D

6/4

Enjoying a progressive campaign and can be forgiven her run from two starts back when poorly positioned. Bounced back to win a stronger race at York and will be hard to beat without a penalty.

Form: 9-12291

(6)

Warmhearted¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 74| D

7/1

Doesn't look an easy ride and was hampered early on when a good third at Kempton. Could prove to be well handicapped if she learns to settle better.

Form: 721283

Forward Thinker²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 74| D

7/2

Wins at Redcar and Windsor have made it two from four and as a full sister to Visionary is open to plenty of progress. However difficult to get carried away with bare form and more required off 3lb higher.

Form: 5-211

(1)

Bedwyyah^v1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Spencer| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 73| D

7/1

Expensive purchase for leading connections, however hasn't progressed in three handicap runs since Thirsk win and a bit to find with Forward Thinker. First-time visor applied.

Sheedy³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 70

16/1

Ran with promise when placed on her third start in novice company. Soft ground didn't suit on handicap debut but does need to improve on first start on the AW.

Form: 7736

Seek The Moon²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 65

16/1

Giant's Causeway filly has shown big progress on each of three starts to date. Extra half furlong will help and could be on a decent mark on handicap debut.

Form: 9-53

(3)

Kylie Rules^h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 64

25/1

12-race maiden who was well held at Redcar last time. Worth a try back up in trip but others look more progressive.

Form: 720350

Forecasts

Ladies First (6/4), Forward Thinker (7/2), Bedwyyah (7/1), Warmhearted (7/1), Rinaria (14/1), Seek The Moon (16/1), Sheedy (16/1), Kylie Rules (25/1), Alexandrakollontai (33/1)

LADIES FIRST is tactically versatile and gets to race without a penalty following a win in a higher grade under this apprentice. She looks a solid proposition while Warmhearted was a bit unlucky at Kempton and should be involved again. Forward Thinker is on a hat-trick and while she is clearly going the right way this will prove tougher. Seek The Moon is unexposed and can prove to be the main danger if making the expected progress.
