Adventureman^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55| C

33/1

Course winner over 1m who looks badly out of sorts at the moment (ran poorly over 1m4f here last time). Usually leads but often finds little when challenged; has a poor win-to-run ratio; best watched for now.

Form: 417-000

(8)

Classy Cailin³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 50

16/1

Modest maiden although she has shaped better than the bare result of late; not seen to best effect last time (without a clear run). Can be slowly way but can't be left out of the equation here despite having something to find at the weights.

Form: 60-3836

(4)

False Id^b⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: T E Whelan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56| CD

6/1

One of three C&D winners in the field; in good form at the back end of 2018 winning three handicaps at up to an extended 1m1f. More than likely to have won last time out had he not blown the start (not a one off); candidate if he gets away on terms.

Form: 568362

(2)

Joyful Star¹⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: P Hanagan| T: F Watson| OR: 55| CD

20/1

Returning from a significant absence he was lightly-raced last year (seen just five times); all those runs coming here over 7f-1m. Scored last January over C&D in handicap company but wasn't in much form when last seen; no great record fresh.

Form: 9/41230-

(3)

Magical Molly Joe^h⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: T D Barron| OR: 53| D

5/1

Best to put a line through her last start where nothing went right over 7f at Wolverhampton; better judged on her win over the same C&D last December. A repeat of that run would see her go close in this and she's included in calculations.

Form: 5010-39

Major Crispies⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 51| C| D

20/1

Unreliable sort who has won here but whose form remains more out than in; ran poorly last time over 6f at Southwell. Would have a chance on his best form but can't be relied upon to produce that these days.

Form: 966558

(10)

Midnight Vixen^p1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 55

7/1

Made her stable debut last time and took a step back in the right direction taking advantage of a reduced mark. Raced rather freely over 1m here last time (finished fourth); not had much racing, remains to be seen if she can build on her last run.

Form: 07/64-94

(14)

Mosseyb¹⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 54WS

28/1

Maiden who ran one of his better races when last seen in October finishing fifth in a Redcar maiden over 7f on soft ground. Been tried over a variety of trips (only once over 7f); back from a break plus a wind op; worth noting in the market.

Form: 056085-

One Last Hug²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50

25/1

Unexposed type who whilst he hasn't shown much so far probably hasn't had the scenario where he was likely to. Has something to find at the weights and needs further progress on what we have seen so far.

Form: 0/67

(12)

Size Matters¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford| OR: 52| DWS

11/1

Handicap form is only modest and failed to win last year from seven starts; offered little when last seen on turf. Now returns from a wind op with a fair bit to prove off the back of a long break; best watched in this scenario.

Form: 773569-

(9)

Sylviacliffs^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 63| D

11/10

One of just two three-year-olds she turned in a career-best last time when recording her second win over 7f at Southwell. All her AW form is on Fibresand so she has to prove she can operate on Tapeta; clear pick on form.

Form: 49-1351

(5)

Biscuit Queen¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 52

50/1

Only modest form to her name so far over a variety of trips; she may well have needed the run last time her first on Fibresand. Now makes her Tapeta debut but hard to give her a serious chance on what she's shown so far.

Form: 82290-6

Forecasts

Sylviacliffs (11/10), Magical Molly Joe (5/1), False Id (6/1), Midnight Vixen (7/1), Great Colaci (10/1), Size Matters (11/1), Easy Money (14/1), Classy Cailin (16/1), Joyful Star (20/1), Major Crispies (20/1), One Last Hug (25/1), Mosseyb (28/1), Adventureman (33/1), Biscuit Queen (50/1)

Only a modest affair with Sylviacliffs the form choice but the question will be can she produce the same form on a different surface and against older horses. If False ID could be trusted to get away on terms he would be the choice here but his slow starts are getting to be the norm now and that makes life difficult for him and his backers. MAGICAL MOLLY JOE is therefore the selection having run well on Tapeta before (she can be forgiven her last run). Classy Cailin wouldn’t be out of this despite her lack of winning form with Easy Money and Mosseyb two to watch in the betting exchanges.
