Rock Party^p²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 56

4/1

Competitive in last two starts for Kevin Ryan in 6f turf sellers but failed to sparkle on debut for this yard at Newcastle (11th of 13) although that came over 5f so expecting better now back to this trip.

Form: 356240

Dolly Dupree³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 53

15/2

Beaten over 10L in all bar her debut (six starts) and could only manage ninth of 10 at Kempton latest. Should do slightly better in this weak contest and yard in good form of late.

Geography Teacher²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 51

15/8

Little to shout about in first six starts but close second at Newcastle penultimately followed by fifth only beaten 2½L there latest, both over 5f. Only once raced over 6f but if he stays the trip he has first rate claims to gain his first win.

4/1

Didn't seem to last 1m here latest but some appeal in his run at Newcastle over 7f the time before although only eighth. Drop to 6f on recent evidence very much to suit and blinkers also added so interesting dark horse here.

Farump¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 47

4/1

Unplaced in all seven starts, the last three AW handicaps. Kempton fourth in September would be competitive but well below that in two starts since so risky proposition on balance.

Wye Bother^t¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

33/1

Unplaced in all nine races and last in six of them including the last three. Tries this surface for the first time but very hard to fancy on evidence to date.

Bawtry Lady^b1⁸¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 45

33/1

Last in all three races since her debut eighth and beaten 105L, 30L and 26L in them. Handicap and blinkers should both help but just getting competitive would be a result at this stage.

Forecasts

Where's Perle (7/4), Geography Teacher (15/8), Farump (4/1), Rock Party (4/1), Champyownez (4/1), Micronize (4/1), Dolly Dupree (15/2), Bawtry Lady (33/1), Wye Bother (33/1)

A very weak contest overall this and it provides GEOGRAPHY TEACHER with an excellent opportunity after two sound efforts at Newcastle over 5f and he has appeared likely to stay the extra 1f in them. Where's Perle has also been generally consistent of late and she certainly rates the danger with blinkers offering hope of some improvement also. Rock Party was disappointing latest but his earlier form is as good as anything on offer here.
