Times Past¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 75

5/1

Makes his debut on Fibresand but is by a sire (Dandy Man) with a good record here. Gradually learning his trade (still looked green last time) having had all three starts on the AW, now makes his handicap debut off a stiff enough mark.

Form: 272

Winterkoenigin²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 73

7/1

One of four Fibresand debutantes in the field she looked rather laboured on a soft surface last time (handicap debut). Dropped just 1lb from that outing; pedigree suggests that she may be capable of better.

Material Girl²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 72

9/2

By a sire who does well with his progeny here she was a good 2nd when last seen at Newmarket and now makes her handicap debut. Her progression has been steady but she may be able to progress again for the change of surface.

Form: 5372

Zip²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

11/2

Yet to win a race but got his career back on track last time on his first try on the AW and is now switched to Fibresand having proved himself over this 7f trip. Came from a fair way back last time and those tactics will be hard to replicate on this

11/10

Looked to take to this surface well when landing a touch on his Fibresand/stable/handicap debut after a few months break over 6f. Won that easily and although he's been handed a 12lb rise in the weights is still of interest.

Forecasts

Lads Order (11/10), Material Girl (9/2), Times Past (5/1), Zip (11/2), French Twist (6/1), Winterkoenigin (7/1)

One of the four Fibresand debutantes may be able to step up on what they have done so far but it often pays to rely on course form and LADS ORDER despite the big rise in the weights still looks the one to beat stepped up to 7f. The filly he beat last time into 3rd French Twist has a shot at reversing the form especially as this distance may suit her better but she will need to be much more sharply away. Of those stepping out onto the Fibresand for the first time Material Girl and Times Past make the most appeal.
