Invisible Storm^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 54

8/1

One win from 12 starts and has worked her way down to a workable handicap. Placed effort on her last two starts have been promising, including here last time out but wide draw is off-putting here.

Form: 00002-3

(8)

Prominna¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| D

9/1

Three wins from 17 AW starts, all on Polytrack at Lingfield. Was in good form prior to a poor run last time out but drop back in trip will help and capable off this handicap mark.

Form: 34021-8

(5)

Foxy Boy^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 52| D

9/1

Finally proved himself on the AW with a comfortable 1¾L win in this grade (Class 7) over 5f at Wolverhampton just under a fortnight ago; remains on a competitive mark and expected to go close if he can reproduce that run.

Form: 5550-91

(6)

Red Stripes^b⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 51| CD

4/1

C&D winner but losing run now stands at 28. Had no chance from a long way out of the handicap at Wolverhampton last time but on a competitive mark and had been running okay prior to that effort.

Form: 2323-48

(11)

Skip To My Lou⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Kieren Fox| T: P Crate| OR: 45| D

5/2

Showed improved form when dropped in trip at Lingfield on handicap debut and confirmed the promise of that run with a success back at that course last time out. On the same mark but wide draw not ideal.

Form: 0776-1

(9)

Atyaaf³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 50

14/1

Yet to show the ability to match the pedigree but this will be his easiest task thus far. A market check should be considered in this grade on handicap debut.

Form: 63-9

(2)

Charlie Alpha^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 47

6/1

Yet to win in 13 starts but best career effort came at this course when runner-up in October and not beaten far again here last month. Respected back at this course and has each-way claims.

Form: 2947-39

(3)

Storm Trooper^t⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: C Wallis| OR: 46| BF| D

12/1

Not won since a turf success back in 2016. Had been running well prior to disappointing at Lingfield last time but his front-running way is well suited to this course and not ruled out from a handy draw.

Form: 226-237

(7)

Stopdworldnletmeof^b,e/s¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: D Flood| OR: 45

20/1

Yet to win in 24 starts and has gone off the boil again lately. Well beaten on his sole start around here and drop back in trip not certain to be the answer.

Form: 2322-68

(10)

Celerity^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

100/1

A 59-race maiden and often slowly away. Well beaten last time out and wide draw makes her very difficult to fancy.

Form: 073-859

(4)

Velvet Vixen¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Hughes| OR: 48

16/1

Only shown bits of ability and while she had no chance from out of the handicap at Kempton last time. Less exposed than some but not likely to play a part here, despite the drop back down in class.

Form: 975-84

(1)

The Man Of Mode^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 46

40/1

Beaten out of sight on each of his three career starts. Drops in trip for handicap debut and gets first-time headgear. Market likely to be the best guide to his chance.

Form: 00-7

Forecasts

Skip To My Lou (5/2), Red Stripes (4/1), Charlie Alpha (6/1), Invisible Storm (8/1), Foxy Boy (9/1), Prominna (9/1), Storm Trooper (12/1), Atyaaf (14/1), Velvet Vixen (16/1), Stopdworldnletmeof (20/1), The Man Of Mode (40/1), Celerity (100/1)

PROMINNA had been in good form prior to disappointing last time and is taken to bounce back here. Foxy Boy won't be far away with a reproduction of his effort last time while Skip To My Lou should run well if she can overcome her wide draw (11).
