Lafilia¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 66| D

8/1

Makes her stable/GB/Fibresand debut having won a maiden on turf when trained in Germany over an extended 1m. Yet to run on any synthetic surface; now makes her handicap debut, interesting to see what the market makes of her; good amateur booked.

Form: 35/1924-

Red Touch^b²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: M Appleby| OR: 65| CD

9/2

Three-time course winner (twice over this trip) but looks to be operating below his best at the moment (yet to fire since returning from a break). Blinkers back on (worn for last win) plus the addition of a top amateur the positives.

Form: 480-446

(10)

Equidae^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Nathan Seery⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 65

33/1

Made his stable debut last time (wore first-time tongue-tie) but ran far too free to do himself justice, first outing for four months. Left his old yard a maiden and unless a few run below-par here likely to remain one for this run at least.

Form: 40367-5

(7)

Bond Angel¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr P Thomas⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| CD

9/2

All her winning form has come on Fibresand with three course wins to her name (one over this trip). Has run with credit in all her four runs since her last win which came over C&D off a 5lb lower mark; not out of this given course record.

Form: 1-13234

(1)

Winklemann^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 61| D

16/1

Still a maiden after 17 attempts on the Flat and only tried here once before (finished unplaced). Ran a respectable race last time under today's rider (got little help from the saddle) over 6f; back up in trip and others appeal more.

Form: 5980D-4

(9)

Four Mile Beach²⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr H Sensoy⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 60

100/1

Offered very little when last seen on the Flat at the start of 2018 and only seen twice over hurdles since (disappointing sort in that sphere). Now makes his debut for this yard (second run on Fibresand); may need this and best watched.

Form: 23380/6-

(8)

Medici Moon¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr R Birkett| T: R J Price| OR: 59| CD

14/1

Fared poorly on his last few runs for Scott Dixon and now makes his debut for a new yard. Twice a C&D winner he's likely to need this run but does have the assistance of a decent amateur and some track experience.

Form: 683000-

(13)

Caribbean Spring¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Rosie Margarson⁽⁵⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 59| CD

13/2

Won his only start here over this trip under today's pilot late last year taking really well to the Fibresand surface. Only seen twice since (both times under today's pilot); may well appreciate the return to this track and trip.

Form: 35512-3

(11)

Baron Run¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: K R Burke| OR: 58| CD

3/1

Run well on this surface since returning from a break (only poor run in that time came on Tapeta) recording form figures of 3213. Ran a very respectable third last time to Hammer Gun in a better grade that this (0-75); leading player in this.

Form: 6-30213

(2)

Zaeem¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Kayleigh Rayner⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 58| C| D

33/1

Three-time course winner who looks to have rather lost his way of late despite sliding down the weights; now 10lb below his last winning mark. Fared poorly here over C&D last time and faces another stiff task.

Form: 890-787

(6)

Mime Dance^e/s¹¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Mr M S Johnson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 52| D

33/1

Modest handicapper who won off a 4lb mark just over a year ago but ran no sort of race at all last time off an absence. Others look to hold much stronger chance on recent form and he's readily passed over.

Form: 900280-

(3)

Port Soif^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Emma Sayer| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| CD

12/1

Interesting mare who won both her first two starts here and looked a natural on the surface for one of her former yards. Should be sharper for her last run over 7f here; will appreciate this return to 1m; expected to be right on the premises.

Form: 6/1019-4

(14)

Luduamf⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Dallon Holmes⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45

250/1

Long losing run isn't the best advert for this one and neither is his overall record on the Flat of 1-25. Fared poorly here last time over 6f, got badly outpaced; hopes now pinned on this return to 1m.

Form: 04/709-0

Forecasts

Baron Run (3/1), Bond Angel (9/2), Red Touch (9/2), Caribbean Spring (13/2), Lafilia (8/1), Alpha Tauri (8/1), Port Soif (12/1), Medici Moon (14/1), Winklemann (16/1), Equidae (33/1), Zaeem (33/1), Mime Dance (33/1), Four Mile Beach (100/1), Luduamf (250/1)

An interesting end to the card with several of these having good records on Fibresand and plenty of top amateurs to do the steering. PORT SOIF won’t lack in assistance from the saddle via Emma Sayer and she’s taken to score on her first run for Scott Dixon having blown away the cobwebs away last time over 7f here. Anything that Simon Walker rides in this sphere is always of interest and sure to attract market support and that puts Baron Run in a good position here. Alpha Tauri doesn’t appeal as an ideal ride for an amateur despite his good record here and Caribbean Spring, Bond Angel and Lafilia all make more appeal.
