Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 80| D

6/1

Made it two from five when gaining a first win for new trainer in first-time blinkers in a Wolverhampton claimer. Can be forgiven previous run when not taking to the fibresand and open to further progress. Can be competitive on handicap debut.

Form: 12201-

Reeth^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 78| CD

10/11

Showed improved form for breakthrough success when making all over this C&D last time. Did get to set slow early fractions and now races off 7lb higher but an obvious danger if getting another uncontested lead.

Teresita Alvarez¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Watson| T: J Noseda| OR: 67

7/2

First start here but has improved on the AW at Wolverhampton the last twice. Hit the line well off a slow early tempo over 7f last time and open to more progress up to this trip. Going in the right direction and a first win shouldn't be far away.

Form: 85533-

Redemptive²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 66

4/1

Shaped well on stable debut when third to Reeth over this C&D. Didn't get the clearest of runs and unsuited by the slow pace and there should be more to come.

Form: 76353-

Forecasts

Reeth (10/11), Teresita Alvarez (7/2), Redemptive (4/1), Anycity (6/1)

A small field and much will depend on race tactics with all four runners holding chances and each open to plenty of improvement. Supporters of Reeth will be hoping for another easy lead but Anycity has made the running in the past and it's not inconceivable that with a stronger pace Redemptive could reverse the form from her C&D defeat last time. TERESITA ALVAREZ is progressing nicely and has shaped as though this trip will be the making of her.
