Peachey Carnehan^v⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 56| CD

9/4

Had gone 20 runs without a win but now finds himself chasing a hat-trick in the space of a fortnight with much improved efforts of late and no reason why he shouldn't go close again.

Carpet Time¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: T D Barron| OR: 60| C

10/1

Returned from a break with a couple of uninspiring efforts and plenty to prove at present. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 152670-

Astrophysics¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 59| CD

7/1

4lb rise C&D win last month is fair though widest draw a slight concern. May still have a bit more to come on this surface.

Form: 888921-

Spirit Power^p1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 59

16/1

Has shown nothing in two runs since joining current yard and cheek pieces need to inspire for him to figure here.

Form: 444/000-

Indian Affair^b,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Kerrie Raybould⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Losing run building up and although now 11lb below latest win there is a good reason for that and readily passed over.

Toni's A Star³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| C| D

7/1

Chasing a hat-trick after wins over 5f but has to prove she is as effective at this extra furlong and that is a more of a worry than the step up in grade.

Fantasy Justifier^p³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 57| CD

10/1

Couldn't cope with a well backed winner when last seen in November but a repeat of that would certainly put him in the mix.

Form: 105742-

Dream Ally²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: J R Weymes| OR: 56| CD

50/1

Well beaten at big odds in two starts since returning from a break including in a claimer last time and hard to fancy on current form.

Form: 716309-

(7)

Santafiora¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52| D

5/1

Has the ability to figure but tardy starts are becoming the norm and Newcastle last time was probably slowest break yet.

Form: 624260-

(9)

Whispering Soul^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Liam Jones| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 45

50/1

Sole win was gained in June 2016 and hasn't been shaping as though that tally is going to be doubled any time soon particularly as she seems better at the minimum trip.

Form: 405987-

(5)

Whigwham¹³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Gary Sanderson| OR: 45

50/1

Placed in a seller in 2017 but regressive since and hard to see her braking her duck from 3lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Peachey Carnehan (9/4), Santafiora (5/1), Indian Affair (7/1), Astrophysics (7/1), Toni's A Star (7/1), Carpet Time (10/1), Fantasy Justifier (10/1), Alligator (12/1), Spirit Power (16/1), Elliot The Dragon (16/1), Whispering Soul (50/1), Dream Ally (50/1), Whigwham (50/1)

PEACHEY CARNEHAN is on a roll and the hat-trick is very much on the cards. Astrophysics looks a the main danger after bouncing back to form last month while Alligator is interesting with the drop down in trip looking a a positive.
