Major Blue³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 72| D

7/1

Improved from debut to win at Wolverhampton next time. Shaped like he may appreciate a step back up in trip when third at Wolverhampton (5f) last time so this test could suit on turf debut. Race fitness on his side and fair mark for handicap debut.

Form: 613

Serengeti Song^h1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 72

8/1

It was a mixed bag in three starts as a juvenile, a promising second on debut before not backing that up in two subsequent starts. Shaped okay at Wolverhampton on handicap debut in March but too keen at Redcar subsequently. Back down in trip.

Form: 255-36

(11)

Master Matt¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: D P Quinn| OR: 71

12/1

Unlucky not to have got his head in front in five career starts, a close second in a nursery at Yarmouth last time. Needs to prove he handles slower conditions but on a workable handicap mark at least.

Form: 75232-

Molaaheth^t1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

10/1

Improved from debut when only beaten ½L at Kempton in December but hasn't built on that twice since. Dropped 2lb and well bred but has a bit to prove at present; turf debut.

Form: 636-7

House Deposit^t¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: D Carroll| OR: 70| D

14/1

Won two of his last three starts as a juvenile, both over this trip on soft ground. Up 4lb for his latest effort and while that form doesn't look overly strong, there was plenty to like about his attitude. Interesting if ready to go on his return.

Form: 694141-

(14)

Alicia Darcy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 69

16/1

Yet to win in six starts and she struggled on her only start in handicap company. Now 6lb lower than that mark but may do better over further.

Form: 749-354

(2)

Epona¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 69| BF| D

10/1

Ran well in back to back races at Ayr in the autumn and not at her best at Haydock on final start of 2018 under a penalty. Back up in trip and not ruled out if ready to go on her return here.

Form: 339216-

(15)

Dancing Rave¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69

8/1

Won on debut at Beverley and she had held her form well subsequently, runner-up three times in her juvenile career. Needs to step up on that form a little in a race this competitive but may have improved in the interim; returns from an absence.

Form: 524242-

(13)

Crackin Dream^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 68

8/1

Yet to win in four starts. His opening handicap mark looked harsh on what he had achieved and he duly struggled at Kempton on his return earlier in the month. Needs to find significant improvement for the fitting of first-time blinkers.

Form: 536-7

(6)

Socru¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

7/1

Yet to win in five starts but it was marginally a career best at Leicester when last seen. Dropped 1lb by the handicapper but entitled to need this on his return.

Form: 75244-

(8)

Princess Palliser³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 67

20/1

Improved from debut to finish a 1¼L third of 12 at Redcar in October. Well beaten a fair way out at Newcastle last month on her return but may come on for that and should appreciate the drop back in trip.

Form: 53-6

(12)

Rum Lad^p,t1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 65

9/1

Hinted at ability in a couple of his five starts for John Quinn but showed nothing on yard debut at Chelmsford on return. A drop back to this trip doesn't look ideal. Makes his second start since wind surgery.

Form: 43459-4

(4)

Timetodock^b¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

16/1

A winner at Catterick on handicap debut in October and the runner-up franked the form, winning next time out. Blew his chance from the stalls when last seen at Redcar but may have more to give this year and yard are in form.

Form: 05410-

(9)

Pearl Of Qatar^b1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 64

20/1

Surprise 25/1 winner on debut at Beverley in May 2018 but struggled subsequently and showed very little when returned to the scene of her win last time out, outpaced. Handicapper trying to give her a chance; wears first-time blinkers.

Form: 15475-8

(5)

Furyan⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 61

40/1

Has shown very little in five starts and well beaten in two runs in handicaps at Redcar either side of the winter. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 8670-0

Forecasts

Socru (7/1), Major Blue (7/1), Serengeti Song (8/1), Crackin Dream (8/1), Dancing Rave (8/1), Rum Lad (9/1), Molaaheth (10/1), Epona (10/1), Master Matt (12/1), House Deposit (14/1), Timetodock (16/1), Alicia Darcy (16/1), Princess Palliser (20/1), Pearl Of Qatar (20/1), Furyan (40/1)

A tricky puzzle to solve in the finale on the card but HOUSE DEPOSIT probably has the best chance of getting his head in front, proven over this trip in these conditions. Timetodock could be interesting if he breaks more alertly while Major Blue should appreciate a return to this trip.
