Satchville Flyer¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: P D Evans| OR: 50| C

5/1

Has a career record of 10-85 although the wins have become rather less frequent of late. Couldn't get on terms over 7f at Lingfield last time, and return to 1m should suit, so considered on first try at this lowly level.

Form: 430706-

(3)

Amaranth¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Scudamore| OR: 50

5/1

Maiden who is struggling for form, and well positioned when fifth behind False ID at Wolverhampton last time. Yard quiet, and may have to wait for elusive success.

Form: 309008-

(14)

Pass The Cristal²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 49| CD

16/1

Has won off a much higher mark over C&D in the past, and while he's been out of form for some time, his plummeting mark means he can't be ignored.

Form: 480000-

(12)

Ertidaad^v²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: E J Walsh| T: Emma Owen| OR: 49| CD

8/1

Has gained two course wins in similar company, the latest over 7f four weeks ago. Not gone up much in the weights for that, and is shortlisted in attempt to follow up.

Form: 093561-

(7)

Born To Reason^b²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Liam Jones| T: K Frost| OR: 48

16/1

Both wins over further on Tapeta, and failed to fire fully in 2018. Not judged harshly on latest effort at Southwell, but needs to step up on recent efforts if he's to figure.

Form: 0/06783-

(9)

Foxrush Take Time^e/s,h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: R C Guest| OR: 45

14/1

Hard to catch right, and while he ran one of his better races in a change of headgear at Southwell last time, he does need to prove he can repeat it on this different surface.

Form: 397692-

(11)

Joyful Dream^v⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 45

16/1

Record now reads 0-31, and she was below form when attempting to make all at Wolverhampton in November. Place claims if back to her best, but of limited interest for betting purposes.

Form: 034636-

(1)

Compton Brave²⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

25/1

Not beaten far at Lingfield last time, but in truth he never threatened, and remains without a win after ten starts. Well drawn, but needs to raise his game if he's to capitalise.

Form: 77430/6-

(6)

Foreign Legion^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: N Mackay| T: L McJannet| OR: 45| BF

3/1

Yet to win, but kept on well when second of 11 to African Blessing in a 7f handicap here on his latest start. return to 1m ought to suit, and he's handicapped to play a prominent role.

Form: 85744-2

(10)

African Showgirl^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 45| BF| D

25/1

Scored back-to-back turf wins in the summer of 2016 off higher marks but hasn't really figured of late on the AW despite a tumbling mark. Cheekpieces reached for now, and others look stronger again.

Form: 09/6686-

(2)

Gone With The Wind^p⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 45| D

20/1

Has won off much higher in the past, and last two wins have been gained at this level on AW. Needs to improve on latest poor form, but return to this class could help.

Form: 770090-

(13)

Nicky Baby^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 45

16/1

Just the one placed effort from 19 starts tells its own story, and below even his own modest best in two starts back from a break this winter.

Form: 296607-

(5)

Invisible Shadow²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 45

7/1

Hinted at ability in a bumper for Olly Murphy, but not persevered with, and has looked very limited since switched to the Flat.

Form: 8988-

(15)

Admiral Anson^p1¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

50/1

From a respected yard, and wears cheekpieces for this handicap debut, but in truth he has looked to have scant ability in three runs in this sphere having failed to finish in a bumper.

Form: 584-

(8)

Jasmine B¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 45

33/1

Has barely beaten another rival in four outings to date, and trailed home last on handicap debut in a weak contest last time.

Forecasts

Foreign Legion (3/1), Satchville Flyer (5/1), Amaranth (5/1), Invisible Shadow (7/1), Ertidaad (8/1), Foxrush Take Time (14/1), Born To Reason (16/1), Nicky Baby (16/1), Pass The Cristal (16/1), Joyful Dream (16/1), Gone With The Wind (20/1), African Showgirl (25/1), Compton Brave (25/1), Jasmine B (33/1), Bridlemere Court (33/1), Admiral Anson (50/1)

Lots of dead wood, it would seem, and recent course winner ERTIDAAD isn't highly tried as he bids to follow up. Foreign Legion will appreciate the stiffer test after finishing second over 7f here last time, and is shortlisted along with Satchville Flyer and Gone With the Wind.
