Little Miss Daisy¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 55

14/1

Been kept busy since returning at the start of this year after a long break from racing but has a bit to prove over a longer trip than she's tried before. Handily weighted if her stamina holds out.

Form: 5-87376

(7)

Maazel⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 55| D

11/4

Held his form well since joining his current yard; evidenced when beaten by just a head from this mark over this trip at Lingfield last week. A danger to all if he gets the strong pace he needs. One to consider.

Form: 5-96212

(5)

The Special One^v1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 53| D

10/1

Yet to win on the AW but has been placed six times from 17 starts on artificial surfaces; has plenty of course form to her name but arguably better over a mile. Tries a visor for the first time.

Form: 532097

(9)

Mr Potter^v²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR: 52| CD

10/1

Won a lads race in good style at Kempton last month - his fifth career win - and has some solid C&D efforts to his name too. Has won from higher marks, so worth bearing in mind. One to seriously consider if supported in the betting.

Form: 33-0901

Secret Lightning^v⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 51| D

14/1

Back on a winning mark but two starts since returning from a break need to be better by some way. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8632-57

(6)

Pocket Warrior^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 49

33/1

Debuted in a bumper in 2014 but wasn't seen out for a good while afterwards and switched to the Flat; lightly raced for one of his age but is of limited ability. Would be a surprise winner.

Form: 668/90-0

(1)

Kellington Kitty⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 46

5/1

Improved since handicapping and posted a fair effort last time out. Needs to take another step forward and possible the drop in trip will suit. Place claims at best though.

Form: 850-475

(3)

Slipalongtrevaskis^b⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling| OR: 45

8/1

Placed over C&D twice and has improved since the application of headgear. Is exposed as ordinary and likely the maiden status will be extended here. (Out of the weights.)

Form: 4234-65

(8)

Merdon Castle¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: Frank Bishop| OR: 45| C

5/1

Losing run now stands at 40 and no immediate sign it's about to change judging by two previous starts for his current yard - his fourth change of trainer since last march - and makes very limited appeal for a punt on this occasion.

Form: 7008-56

(10)

Canimar^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 45

8/1

Still a maiden and was no match for Mr Potter on her penultimate start; being 4lb better off today (plus the rider's claim) gives her a chance of reversing the from at the weights. The seventh furlong may help. Dangerous to dismiss lightly.

Form: 5-52424

(11)

Lesanti^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

33/1

Still a maiden and plenty to find on recent form. Difficult to recommend.

Form: 970-509

Forecasts

Maazel (11/4), Kellington Kitty (5/1), Merdon Castle (5/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (8/1), Canimar (8/1), Mr Potter (10/1), The Special One (10/1), Secret Lightning (14/1), Little Miss Daisy (14/1), Lesanti (33/1), Pocket Warrior (33/1)

MAAZEL and Mr Potter look the safest options in a race full of pitfalls. The first named has thrived since joining his current yard and makes plenty of appeal with a 7lb claimer easing the burden at the weights. Mr Potter is well weighted though and a betting check on the two is advised before getting heavily involved. Canimar has a wide draw but doesn't have too much to findon the best of her previous efforts and makes a touch more appeal than Kellington Kitty for a place in the frame.
