Superseded⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: J Butler| OR: 64

12/1

Stablemate of Griggy - joined this trainer in February for 9,000gns from Charles Hills; eight-race maiden; made the frame in a 6f nursery on his sole previous start at Lingfield Park in September 2018.

Form: 2834-75

Dandy Lad^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 64| BF

20/1

11-race maiden; beaten 8/15f in a match race over 5f here 15-days ago, and there's a few more rivals to be considered this afternoon; not at all convincing.

Form: 0040-62

(6)

Sundiata¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: C Hills| OR: 63| BF

9/4

Probably not the most straightforward of fillies (regularly flashes her tail). However, she was unlucky not to break the maiden tag at Wolverhampton latest (6f) when mugged by the flying Second Collection; rates as a major player on handicap bow.

Form: 5-42

Fox Happy⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

3/1

150,000gns yearling; drops back in trip for handicap debut after racing keenly and weakening late on when finishing 8½L fourth of ten to Global Spectrum in a 7f novice stakes at Kempton 49-days ago.

Form: 9-54

(9)

Invincible Sea²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 60

50/1

Made the frame over 7f here at significant odds (66/1) on her second career start, albeit does need to up her game further now switched to handicapping; others more appealing.

Form: 03-7

Your Mothers' Eyes⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 59

7/1

Six-race maiden; 2lb lower than when finishing a never nearer 3L fourth to Catapult in a 7f maiden handicap here in January.

Form: 89540-4

Tarrzan²²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 58

33/1

Bitterly disappointing since winning a weak early season turf seller at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in May 2018; off the track since August 2018; has raced once on Polytrack earlier in his career (at Dundalk).

Form: 685665-

Sussudio^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Bentley| T: R Spencer| OR: 57

8/1

Half-sister to the 5f-6f AW winner Cuppacoco; ran okay on her second start (over C&D) when showing early pace before fading inside the final furlong to finish fourth of nine to With Caution; has a fraction to find with Sundiata; remains unexposed.

Form: 0-44

Eye Of The Water³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 56| D

5/1

Well drawn when continuing on an upward trajectory and justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton in February (6f); 3lb higher in the weights; closely matched with the filly Lincoln Spirit (finished a close third in that contest).

Form: 8362-21

(12)

Lincoln Spirit^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D O'Meara| OR: 53| CD

25/1

Has lost her way a fraction lately since finishing a close third to today's rival Eye Of The Water at Wolverhampton (6f) in February; hopes pinned on a return to Lingfield providing a spark - her form figures at this track read 1,2.

Form: 127360

Yfenni^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: L Morris| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

33/1

Seven-race maiden; started at odds of 33/1 when beaten a head and a short-head by today's rival Lincoln Spirit over C&D in January; modest since, including over 5f; cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 039-366

Forecasts

Sundiata (9/4), Fox Happy (3/1), Eye Of The Water (5/1), Griggy (5/1), Your Mothers' Eyes (7/1), Sussudio (8/1), Superseded (12/1), Dandy Lad (20/1), Lincoln Spirit (25/1), Tarrzan (33/1), Yfenni (33/1), Invincible Sea (50/1)

Charles Hills has moved the eight-race maiden Superseded on for 9,000gns, but it is he who saddles the likeliest winner of this essentially modest contest with the filly SUNDIATA. Evidently this handicap debutante isn't the most straightforward of horses, but she did little wrong at Wolverhampton latest when cruelly mugged by the turbo-charged late finishing kick of Second Collection (today's rival Sussudio a fair fourth). Others to consider for the minor placings include Griggy and the generally progressive Eye Of The Water.
