Ideal Candy^h²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S A Gray| T: K Tutty| OR: 71| C| D

9/2

Scored here over 1m2f (good to firm) last season, when 3lb lower. Has each-way claims from this mark, though has to overcome a modest record when fresh.

Form: 513137-

Gainsay⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: J G Portman| OR: 69| D

9/2

Has won two each on turf/AW, the latest over 1m at Lingfield last month, when 3lb lower. Backed that up with a decent effort to be 1L third from this mark at Windsor last time out, so could be thereabouts if overcoming a wide draw.

Form: 3728-13

Alexandrakollontai^b¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 69| D

16/1

Prolific winner who is better on AW than turf these days. Has been kept busy in the winter. Most recent turf success was from 4lb lower at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in August, but not at her best on AW lately, so a bit to prove.

Form: 140-407

Elixsoft^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68| D

9/4

3-11 on AW, but yet to win on turf from seven attempts. Went close to doing so at Leicester (1m, good) last time out. Nudged up 3lb for that, but cheekpieces could give her a boost and she enters calculations.

Form: 432122

Bubbly⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63

25/1

Placed in four of her seven starts, coming closest to a win at Wolverhampton (1m½f, AW) in December, when on this mark. Has switched from Charlie Fellowes to this yard since her last run and needs to find a bit more to break her duck.

Form: 2582-54

Shazzab¹⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62| D

5/1

Both her wins have been when there has been some cut in the ground, so conditions are of some concern here. Finished last season with a decent 1L third at Pontefract from this mark, so the ability is there, but her record when fresh is modest.

Kylie Rules²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60

13/2

Has a clear chance from this mark on several pieces of form from last season, when with Ann Duffield. Has since changed hands. Doesn't appear ground dependent (acts on good to firm) and has run well when fresh. Interesting.

Form: 035066-

Acadian Angel⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: R Ffrench| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 60

16/1

Not ground dependent and effective at up to 1m2f. Hasn't won a handicap since July 2017 (won a seller last year for John Quinn). Entitled to need turf reappearance after a break, but still more needed even if better for that run.

Form: 38128-6

Dream On Dreamer^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 50

100/1

Didn't show much in the other code over the winter and it was much the same when switched back to the Flat last time. Can only watch.

Form: 267/6-80

(11)

Roue De Charrette^p1¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: G A Harker| OR: 46

66/1

Well held in all five starts for Chris Dwyer last year, two of them in bumpers. Has since joined this stable, but can only take a watching brief on debut.

Form: 008-

Dominannie¹⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: R E Barr| OR: 46

28/1

0-21 and showed very little in five starts for this trainer last season. Others readily preferred on her reappearance.

Forecasts

Elixsoft (9/4), Ideal Candy (9/2), Gainsay (9/2), Shazzab (5/1), Kylie Rules (13/2), Alexandrakollontai (16/1), Acadian Angel (16/1), Make On Madam (16/1), Bubbly (25/1), Dominannie (28/1), Roue De Charrette (66/1), Dream On Dreamer (100/1)

Make On Madam has to be taken very seriously given her record at this track, but she is probably better over a furlong shorter and the suggestion is to take her on with KYLIE RULES. Now with Ruth Carr, she has an encouraging record when fresh, acts on the ground and also has a good draw. She has claims on several pieces of form, and a chance is taken that she is ready first time. Shazzab is not written off, although Elixsoft and Gainsay may present more serious challenges, and Bubbly can't be ruled out.
