War Of Succession⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 55| D

16/1

Scored at Bath in September under a well-judged ride but has struggled to find the same sort of performance since; finished well held over 7f here last time. Dropped in grade/well below last winning mark but others persuade more.

Form: 25170-0

Limerick Lord^p⁴^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 50| CD

9/4

Penalised 4lb for his fifth course win (third C&D) here on Saturday resuming winning ways back on his favourite surface. Should remain competitive (won off higher marks in the past); has scored back-to-back victories before; definite contender.

Form: 013331

Molten Lava^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: S Gollings| OR: 53| CD

6/1

Form has a rather inconsistent look since he scored over C&D at the end of 2018 off a 3lb lower mark. Back to form on Tapeta last time his rather hit-and-miss profile makes him one to consider without being a major player in this.

Form: 51-2602

Amy Blair²²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 53| D

40/1

Very well handicapped on his old form with Keith Dalgleish but so far has shown little in two starts for this yard. Given a major break but still without the headgear (hood) that he's worn for all his Hamilton wins; two previous moderate runs here.

Form: 958700-

Mime Dance^e/s⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 52| D

50/1

Placed once on Fibresand and nicely handicapped if he did find some of his old form for a yard that can produce one from out of the blue. Made little impression here last time (well behind Port Soif); market provides the best guide to his chance.

Form: 00280-0

Port Soif^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| CD

15/8

Building a good record on Fibresand and rather unlucky to run into an improving sort last time over this trip in a better grade (he; Equidae runs in the 4.55). Already back on her last winning mark and likely to go close to winning again here soon.

Form: 1019-42

(13)

Luath⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 48| CD

10/1

Capable on Fibresand (dual course winner) who has proved himself over this trip but often leaves the impression that he has more to give and doesn't. Shaped well enough last time over C&D but left the impression some headgear would be useful.

Form: 4693-76

(11)

Jeremy's Jet^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

20/1

Clearly not right when last tried here but doesn't have the most edifying record on the Flat overall; 1-34. He's performed poorly for the most part of late and remains easy enough to oppose for win purposes at least.

Form: 2-05646

(14)

Thecornishbarron⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: B Ellison| OR: 46WS

12/1

Not long with this yard (this will be his sixth run for them) and whilst not one to go overboard about (he has a 1-39 record) he does look ready to blossom based on his latest run. Back from wind surgery; Fibresand debut; could make an impression.

Form: 30455-2

(6)

Atalanta Queen^v²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 45

50/1

Visor worn in her last two starts is retained but she looked out of sorts last time and struggled over the trip. Makes her Fibresand debut here but backers would be clutching at straws for one who has shown nothing for two years.

Form: 98/0-900

(8)

Lone Voice³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

25/1

Poor maiden who despite glimmers of promise for this yard looks a long way from converting any of them into some winning form. Ran no sort of race when last seen over 1m at Kempton and not hard to pass him over for this.

Form: 98785-0

(12)

Kathy⁶²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

50/1

Makes her handicap/Fibresand debut stepping up significantly in trip coming back from a major absence. Hard to imagine that she will be able to get involved here even off a basement mark; makes limited appeal.

Forecasts

Port Soif (15/8), Limerick Lord (9/4), Molten Lava (6/1), Luath (10/1), Imperial Act (10/1), Thecornishbarron (12/1), War Of Succession (16/1), Jeremy's Jet (20/1), Lone Voice (25/1), Loose Chippings (25/1), Amy Blair (40/1), Atalanta Queen (50/1), Mime Dance (50/1), Kathy (50/1)

There are one or two lurking in this off basement marks that could be of interest if they find some of their old spark with Loose Chippings being one in particular to keep an eye on. Thecornishbarron has shown signs that he could be coming back to form and he’s another for whom a market positive should be noted. Limerick Lord is without doubt happiest on this surface and has a chance of adding another quick win to his already impressive Fibresand record after his win here under the lights on Saturday. Molten Lava is a little too inconsistent to recommend and it’s PORT SOIF who added to her good course efforts who makes the most appeal especially as she’s left on the same mark.
