Secret Potion⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Watson| T: R Harris| OR: 63| D

7/1

Penalised for scoring at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last time. CV suggests that he might struggle to follow up, but clearly can't be ruled out.

Form: 433031

Precious Plum^p,h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 64| D

12/1

Went close from 2lb lower at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in September. Well held at Kempton last time, but has claims if able to bounce back.

Form: 087629

(7)

Kodicat^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64| D

6/1

Runner-up in four of last five starts. Drops 1lb for this and is again likely to be on the premises.

Form: 622022

Storm Melody^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Stronge| OR: 64

8/1

2-29, both his wins coming over slightly further. Ran well again at Bath last time, when nabbing fourth and each-way claims from 1lb lower.

Form: 197704

The Golden Cue¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 64| CD

14/1

Scored over C&D (soft) two starts ago, when 4lb lower. Held from 2lb higher than this last time. Couldn't rule him out if back to his best, but probably wants rain.

Form: 376918

Mable Lee⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| D

7/1

3lb lower than her only win, at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) last year. Went very close from this mark at Redcar last time. Needs to pull out a bit more but would not be an undeserving winner.

Form: 726252

Savannah's Show²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 62| D

11/1

Back in better form when less than 3L fourth behind The Golden Cue here (5f, soft) last month. More needed, but each-way player.

Form: 9218-64

(16)

Seamster^t²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 62| CD

16/1

Prolific winner and well held behind The Golden Cue here last month. On a handy mark if at his best, but not easy to be confident that he will.

Form: 452380

Pearl Noir^b⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| D

11/1

Made all to score from 5lb lower at Catterick on his penultimate start. Held back there from this mark last time, so more needed.

Form: 749215

Astrophysics²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 57| D

16/1

Went very close from this mark at Musselburgh (5f, good) in August, but out of sorts since, leaving him a bit to prove.

Form: 583788

Honey Gg²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: D Carroll| OR: 57| D

5/1

Got off the mark at the 10th attempt at Ayr (5f, soft) last time, doing the job in fine style. Handicapper did not miss that, however, and an 11lb rise will make the follow up tough enough. Respected nonetheless.

Form: 248491

Toolatetodelegate^p,t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 56| BF| D

14/1

Dual 5½f winner on firm ground in May, the latter when 2lb lower. Below that level since, however, and has a bit to prove.

Form: 455745

(5)

Poppy Jag^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 48| CD

33/1

Beaten 4L by The Golden Cue over C&D last time and this C&D scorer (in first-time blinkers) looks up against it.

Form: 613077

(4)

Minty Jones^v²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Fahy| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45| D

100/1

5lb 'wrong' at the weights and tailed off last time. Has not won since 2015 and unlikely to end the drought here.

Forecasts

Honey Gg (5/1), Kodicat (6/1), Mable Lee (7/1), Secret Potion (7/1), Storm Melody (8/1), Pearl Noir (11/1), Savannah's Show (11/1), Precious Plum (12/1), Toolatetodelegate (14/1), The Golden Cue (14/1), Seamster (16/1), Astrophysics (16/1), Twentysvnthlancers (16/1), Straightothepoint (16/1), Roy's Legacy (25/1), Poppy Jag (33/1), Minty Jones (100/1)

A typically open low grade sprint handicap and MABLE LEE gets the vote after an excellent effort last time. Honey GG will be popular after a resounding win, but an 11lb rise looks steep. Secret Potion, Precious Plum and The Golden Cue are other with claims, while Kodicat is another of interest.
