Biscuit Billy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding| OR: 55

33/1

Just four starts so far and has shown glimmers of ability. Type to do better now handicapping and interesting if strong in the market but draw has not been kind here so will need to be smart from the gates.

Form: 7656

Langley Vale⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 53| C

3/1

Hold-up performer who needs things to drop right. Has a good draw in three so should be bale to slot in. Will be dangerous if the splits come here as he's on a very tempting mark.

Form: 065486

Furni Factors^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 54

3/1

Sill a maiden after 16 starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as he almost always runs well. Mark is very workable and riders claim helps too. Lively contender from good draw.

Time Medicean¹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| D

7/1

Won a handicap at Brighton (5½f, soft) off a 3lb higher mark last month. Struggled the last twice in better contests but this is more suitable and tends to go well here so not discounted.

Form: 632195

(9)

Glyder¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Ffrench| T: J R Holt| OR: 50| D

10/1

Hold-up performer who hasn't had many chances on an artificial surface. Race wasn't run to suit when trapped wide at Lingfield last time and has claims of going well here.

Form: 857524

(10)

Llamrei³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S J Cummins⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 50

12/1

Still a maiden after 18 starts but often runs well in defeat. Struggled from out the handicap at Chepstow in a better race last time but back in a more suitable contest here. Draw not ideal so others preferred.

Form: 923344

(6)

Alaskan Bay¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: Rae Guest| OR: 49

11/2

Has shown some glimmers of promise that she could win off this sort of mark including over 6f here back in November. Only had nine starts so still early days and capable of getting involved.

Form: 24-6042

(8)

Culloden¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S A Harris| OR: 46| D

20/1

Last win came off a 15lb higher mark than today's so is certainly dangerous from that point of view. Hasn't look like taking advantage of late and headgear has been left off today so others make more appeal.

Form: 460760

(7)

Barnsdale¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Megan Ellingworth⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45| D

40/1

Won at Kempton in January off 1lb lower but hasn't shown a great deal since. Similar story probably on the cards here unless the market screams his name. Out of the weights here.

Form: 137507

(4)

Beaming⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 45

10/1

Struggled on all career starts to date and beaten a long way on each of her last four starts. Impossible to fancy in current mood racing from out the weights.

Form: 0-88960

Mountain Of Stars⁹¹

Weight: 8-11| Age: 3

T: Suzzanne France J: S A Gray

Forecasts

Furni Factors (3/1), Langley Vale (3/1), Alaskan Bay (11/2), Time Medicean (7/1), Beaming (10/1), Glyder (10/1), Llamrei (12/1), Culloden (20/1), Biscuit Billy (33/1), Mountain Of Stars (33/1), Barnsdale (40/1)

This will not take a lot of winning with several of these struggling to find their form. Biscuit Billy could find some improvement now tackling handicaps and is respected. Furni Factors won't get many better chances than this to break the maiden tag and should go well. Preference though is for LANGLEY VALE who is lurking on a dangerous mark, has a good draw and could be hard to contain if everything drops right.
