Off time: 15:51 | Winning time: 5m 15.70s

Shantung⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham| OR: 121

4/1

From a stable going well of late she makes her handicap debut having confirmed her decent bumper form with a Market Rasen novice win in November. Both runs since have come on more testing ground (one in Listed grade); player making handicap debut.

Form: 53-6153

Jubilympics⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 120| D

8/1

Fairly useful handicapper; has yet to win a handicap (seven tries) and ran poorly last time (early blunder hardly helped). Has been tried over longer trips than this (failed to stay) but does need to brush up on her jumping which is holding her back.

Form: 34-0257

Awesome Rosie¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 119

9/1

Very much shaped as though she needed the run last time after having 9 months off. Generally travels well but has been lightly-raced since she scored in a Sandown handicap in December 2017 off 1lb lower; this run will reveal more.

Form: 3164-46

Floral Bouquet^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 116

17/2

Landed back-to-back novice hurdles straight after wind surgery but has been rather let down by her jumping since (one try over fences). Not seen to best effect when last seen (ridden patiently) in a Market Rasen handicap; work to do off this mark.

Form: 1-F3F44

Secret Door^p⁹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Kieron Edgar⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 115

11/1

Her two handicap victories so far came consecutively in 2017, the second off the mark she competes off today. Form has been rather ragged since then (including over fences); ran her best race for a while last time; on a fair mark on her best form.

Form: P2-4P53

Rosy World²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 109

7/1

Yet to run in a handicap (makes her debut here) having won a bumper and offered some encouragement on her second hurdles start (looked suited by the trip). Face a stiff task last time in a Grade 2 and may yet do better in this sphere.

Form: 231-636

No No Juliet⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 109

5/1

Held her form well in better company since winning a 0-100 contest at Fontwell in December. Gradually creeping up the handicap but looks able to cope with her mark; would be suited by a strong gallop at this trip; makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 344133

Ruby Yeats^v¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Strong in the betting over a longer trip here last time after a sound effort at Wincanton the time before. Proving rather hard to win with as displayed by her last effort (caught close home; may have been played too soon); stiffer test here.

Form: 9-73342

Tsundoku³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 105

66/1

Two recent AW runs returning from 15 months off have shown nothing; finished last both times. Has won over hurdles but hard to see her getting involved here on the back of her last two efforts; others much preferred.

Form: 091F/18-

Chloe's Court⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 101

12/1

Modest form so far over hurdles and has hardly made a step forward since going handicapping. Took a heavy fall on her penultimate run but made little impression last time and faces a stiff task in this.

Form: 542-7F8

Forecasts

Ruby Yeats (3/1), Shantung (4/1), No No Juliet (5/1), Rosy World (7/1), Jubilympics (8/1), Floral Bouquet (17/2), Awesome Rosie (9/1), Secret Door (11/1), Chloe's Court (12/1), Snippetydoodah (25/1), Tsundoku (66/1)

A competitive handicap that features last year’s winner Snippetydoodah who often shows her best form around Plumpton although she’s shown little since winning this last year, perhaps a recent wind op will help her. Ruby Yeats has been knocking at the door in her last two runs but she can look rather weak in a finish and faces some strong stayers here. NO NO JULIET has proved herself at this level now and granted a strong gallop she can gain a deserved win. Shantung comes into the equation with her stable going well of late (this will be her handicap debut) with Secret Door featuring on a good mark based on her best form along with another trying handicaps for the first time Rosy World.
