Brandon¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 77

7/1

Much the best of three runs in novice/maiden company when a close second of 10 at Wolverhampton last August. Makes his handicap debut after a break and being gelded, so the betting may be the best guide to his prospects.

Form: 762-

Toffee Galore¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 74

11/8

Clear signs of ability on all three starts in maiden/novice company last summer. Has been given a break and makes her handicap debut for a stable going well.

Form: 324-

Ballistic^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 74

3/1

Solid efforts when placed and not beaten far in both starts in AW handicaps, latterly at Lingfield. Decent chance off the same mark as last time.

Form: 55332-3

Stay Forever¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

10/1

Clear signs of ability in novice company, but may have found 1m1½f too far at Wolverhampton earlier this month. First run in a handicap and certainly worth a check in the betting

Form: 423-6

(6)

Hua Hin^t⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 66

20/1

Has cut little ice in novice/handicap company over 6f at this track on last two outings. May improve for this longer trip, but needs to do so.

Form: 1566-

French Twist⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

12/1

Fair effort when close third at Wolverhampton in October and may not have been totally suited to Fibresand on latest outing. May have more to offer off the same mark.

Form: 267033-

Urban Highway⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

10/1

Clear signs of talent in three turf starts for Mark Johnston. Quite interesting on handicap/stable debut, especially if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 536-

Forecasts

Toffee Galore (11/8), Ballistic (3/1), Brandon (7/1), Urban Highway (10/1), Stay Forever (10/1), French Twist (12/1), Hua Hin (20/1)

Ballistic brings solid form to the table and is likely to be thereabouts, but handicap debutants Stay Forever, Brandon and TOFFEE GALORE are less exposed and the latter gets a narrow vote for a trainer in fine form. French Twist and Urban Highway may also be on the premises.
