Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 124| D

11/8

Comfortably landed the odds in novice event at Taunton and sent off just 5/1 for a Grade 2 at Sandown last time. Weakened into fourth that day (2m4f) but the third has franked the form since and this drop in class and trip look ideal.

Form: 13-3214

Love Lane²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 122

11/4

Much improved under today's rider and although unable to complete the hat-trick at Exeter on latest, she probably ran up to her best and not without a chance.

Form: 15-6113

Lamanver Odyssey^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Jack Barber| OR: 121

6/1

Not at her best in three attempts this season for current yard but 3m trip on latest is clearly beyond her and happier back down here in distance. Handicapper has given her a chance.

Form: 2DP-450

Miss Tynte^p³³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 115| BF

12/1

Off the mark in first time blinkers over 2m5f at Ludlow last April but didn't stay when attempting quick follow up over 3m at Ayr just after. Blinkers replaced by cheek pieces now and absence to overcome.

Form: 4U2317-

Lostnfound²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 110

4/1

Clearly happier over hurdles and did well to stay on for second over inadequate 2m at Lingfield on latest. Return to this trip in her favour and respected.

Form: P-652P2

Snippetydoodah^t¹⁰³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: J McGrath| T: M Roberts| OR: 102| CWS

16/1

Front runner who has had wind surgery since pulling up on latest. Not the easiest to predict and usually found in weaker company than this.

Form: 2/771-4P

Forecasts

Duhallow Gesture (11/8), Love Lane (11/4), Lostnfound (4/1), Lamanver Odyssey (6/1), Miss Tynte (12/1), Snippetydoodah (16/1)

DUHALLOW GESTURE patently failed to stay further at Sandown last time but this drop in trip looks ideal and she may have too much class for her rivals. Lostnfound got going too late at Lingfield on latest but has more to come over this distance while Love Lane should one again go well for her promising claimer.
