Converter¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: M R Channon| OR: 82| BF| C

7/2

Winner over 6f at this venue on debut last season and was making his first start in a handicap when fair fourth of 10 at Kempton earlier this month. Drop in distance not sure to suit, but he remains fairly treated.

Form: 152-4

Free Love²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| CD

5/2

Fine return to action after a busy juvenile campaign when decisively winning a C&D handicap earlier this month. Has been hit with a 7lb rise and this ground may not be totally to her liking.

Form: 14302-1

Tenax¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 81| D

4/1

Irish import who was having his first run for this stable after being gelded when a never-nearer third of 10 over this trip at Thirsk recently. Up 1lb, but should be even sharper this time and has strong claims.

Form: 73133-3

Red Saree^h²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: M Wigham| OR: 76| D

20/1

Pontefract winner in September, and subsequent last of nine at Cattreick can be excused as she finished lame. Makes her handicap debut on return to the racecourse and is one to keep an eye on.

Form: 8019-

Key To Power³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75| D

5/1

Off the mark in a Lingfield novice event in February and has run with credit on all three subsequent starts, latterly in handicaps off this mark. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 2-12343

Khafooq²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 72

4/1

First run since being gelded and leaving Sir Michael Stoute's stable for current yard when finishing a good second of 12 to Free Love in a C&D handicap. Weighted to turn the tables so firmly in the mix if backing up that display.

Form: 87324-2

Forecasts

Free Love (5/2), Converter (7/2), Tenax (4/1), Khafooq (4/1), Key To Power (5/1), Red Saree (20/1)

There should be little between Free Love and Khafooq on recent C&D running, but neither may be able to cope with RED SAREE, who was progressive before finishing lame on her final start last season and could be well treated on her handicap bow. Tenax may chase her home, while it would be folly to rule out Converter and Key To Power.
