Admirable Art³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: J F Egan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| D

Good second in a 7f handicap at Kempton on his penultimate outing. Failed to back that up at Wolverhampton (7f) last time out and draw could have been kinder.

Form: 4683-27

Sole success came in a 1m handicap at Kempton in March last year. Good second over 6f at Wolverhampton in December but held in two subsequent starts. Others hold stronger claims.

Seaquinn¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 45

6/1

Ten race maiden finished sixth in a 7f handicap at Lingfield last time out. Not beaten far that day and market support would be notable with a decent draw in this contest.

40/1

Winner of two of his 35 starts most recently in a small field handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good-to-firm) last July. Beaten 4½L over 1m here in November and drop in distance looks likely to suit following a break.

Forecasts

Little Miss Kodi (10/3), Tarseekh (6/1), Seaquinn (6/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (7/1), Baby Gal (7/1), Be Bold (10/1), Admirable Art (12/1), No Approval (14/1), Quarto Cavallo (16/1), Mr Potter (16/1), Jack Louie (20/1), Tasaaboq (20/1), Dotty Grand (25/1), Caledonian Gold (33/1), Melo Pearl (33/1), Percy Toplis (40/1)

BE BOLD ran well to place at Wolverhampton three days ago and she is taken to register a sixth career victory and a first on this surface in what looks a competitive handicap. Of her rivals Little Miss Kodi finished runner-up on her most recent outing and she can claim second ahead of Baby Gal who is another to have been running well in defeat in recent starts.
