Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss H Welch⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 69| D

(4)

War Brigade¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66

11/4

Bits of promise on five starts for David Simcock and returned form a near year absence for a good effort on stable debut. Down in grade and could be spot on for this.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Pte Alexandra Bell⁽⁵⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 62| D

(6)

Affair²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: H Morrison| OR: 54| D

Forecasts

Amitie Waltz (2/1), War Brigade (11/4), Press Gang (5/1), Affair (6/1), Perla Blanca (14/1), Collodi (14/1), Furiously Fast (14/1), French Mix (16/1), Loving Your Work (16/1), Boycie (25/1), Settle Petal (28/1), Glens Wobbly (33/1), Counterfeiter (33/1), Kerrera (33/1), Cool Macavity (66/1), Lady Makfi (66/1), Sword of The Lord (66/1)

Amitie Waltz has plenty more to offer at this level after making an immediate impression in handicap company. French Mix likewise has to be considered following her latest win while Collodi is on a good mark returning from hurdling. PRESS GANG has yet to win a race but has been given a serious chance by the handicapper with this turf mark. His main danger could be War Brigade who made a decent impression first time for a stable who do so well with their imports from other yards.
