Miss Enigma^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 57

10/1

Hasn't achieved anything of note in three starts, albeit looking in need of experience, and now blinkered for handicap debut off what appears quite a stiff mark. Ought to improve at some point, but hard to back with confidence.

Form: 8-88

(7)

Red Skye Delight²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: L McJannet| OR: 56

20/1

Some promise on first two starts before failing to stay 1m2f, and fared only a little better when sixth of 11 to Camachess on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time. Plenty more required.

Form: 76-06

(8)

Zorro's Girl^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 55

14/1

Limited impact in three qualifying runs at 6f/7f, tending to race freely, but possible she will improve now handicapping, and yard has an excellent strike rate (11-45) with such runners in the last year. Cheekpieces on for first time.

Form: 7-30

(4)

Dragon Kuza^h²⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: H Palmer| OR: 54

7/2

Hooded for all three juvenile starts, but failed to match modest promise of debut over 5f, and needs to improve markedly now tackling handicaps. Yard in form, which offers hope.

Form: 469-

(10)

Sittin Handy^p1⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 53

22/1

Nearer last than first on all four starts, including when eighth of 10 behind Scandinavian Lady at Wolverhampton. Cheekpieces reached for now.

Form: 989-8

(9)

Fast Endeavour^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 50

8/1

Still a maiden and more exposed than most, but handicap mark is falling, and she wasn't disgraced when a close sixth of 12 in a C&D handicap here on her latest start. Solid place claims with headgear refitted.

Form: 369-646

(3)

Pentland Lad^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Fellowes| OR: 49

8/13

Has improved on juvenile form to be placed on both handicap starts this year, and finished best of all when beaten a neck and the same in a C&D handicap last time. Sure to go close with a better start.

Form: 980-33

(5)

We Are All Dottie³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ella Boardman⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 48

80/1

Soundly beaten on all starts to date, and failed to fare any better when down the field on handicap bow over 1m here in February. Plenty to prove.

Form: 090-9

(6)

Anglesey Penny⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Winston| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47

100/1

Little sign of ability in qualifying runs, and failed to beat a rival when sent handicapping at Wolverhampton (7f) on most recent outing.

Form: 00-80

Iris's Spirit⁷

Forecasts

Pentland Lad (8/13), Dragon Kuza (7/2), Fast Endeavour (8/1), Miss Enigma (10/1), Zorro's Girl (14/1), Red Skye Delight (20/1), Sittin Handy (22/1), Iris's Spirit (25/1), We Are All Dottie (80/1), Anglesey Penny (100/1)

Low-grade fare with a few unexposed types, but little solid form among those, and the one to beat on recent evidence is PENTLAND LAD, who has been placed on both starts this year, and might have won if he'd hit top gear sooner here last time. Fast Endeavour is modest, but has been given a chance by the handicapper and has solid each-way claims, with Zorro's Girl and Dragon Kuza a couple of handicap debutants to note in the market.
