85/40

Fair 3L sixth in a 7f handicap at Leicester (good-to-soft) on handicap debut last October. Changed yards since and market support would be notable on AW debut.

Form: 0686-

In The Cove¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 65| D

5/1

Winner over this trip at Wolverhampton last November. Below that form in two subsequent starts and interesting to see how he performs on seasonal reappearance.

28/1

Failed to beat a rival home in two starts at Lingfield since returning from a break including when beaten 13L over 1m last time out. Probably best watched at present.

Filles De Fleur¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott| OR: 65

14/1

Good second in a 1m novice contest at Kempton when debuting last October. Below that form in two subsequent starts and market support would be notable on seasonal and handicap debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 63| D

8/1

Made a winning reappearance when taking a 7f handicap at Kempton by 1L earlier this month. Raised 6lb for that effort and is one to note with further improvement likely.

Form: 9087-1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 63| BF

7/1

Ended last season with a 1¾L fourth in a 6f handicap at Catterick (good). Gelded since and is an interesting contender with a top jockey booked to ride on debut for this yard.

Legend Island¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 62

9/1

Signs of ability in three starts in novice contests last year. Beaten 6¼L over 6f here in November and is worth a check in the market on first start since being gelded.

Form: 847-

Purgatory¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 61| BF

9/1

First start since being gelded when finishing third over 1m at Kempton last October. Disappointing 14L seventh over the same C&D the following month and interesting to see how he fares on seasonal debut.

Sherella¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 59

50/1

Not gone on from promising debut over 6f at Kempton in October and finished well held at Windsor (1m, good) on seasonal and handicap debut last time out. Others make more appeal.

Form: 780-0

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 54

8/1

Limited signs of ability in three starts so far including when tenth of 11 over 6f at Kempton earlier this month. Blinkers tried upped in distance on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Mr Spirit (85/40), In The Cove (5/1), Mohogany (7/1), Gregorian Girl (8/1), Jailbreak (8/1), Purgatory (9/1), Legend Island (9/1), Filles De Fleur (14/1), Valley Belle (20/1), Mitigator (28/1), Sherella (50/1), Isabella Red (50/1), Little Tipple (50/1)

GREGORIAN GIRL made a winning return to action last time out and she can follow-up that success with a victory in this 13 runner handicap contest. Top weight Mr Spirit ran well on his handicap debut in a turf event last autumn and he can finish runner-up on his first AW start while third place can go to Filles De Fleur who is making her handicap and stable debut.
