Sea Art^v³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: W J Knight| OR: 65

10/1

Proved disappointing on season and handicap debut and dropped in grade for this return to turf. Others look more convincing.

Form: 066-7

(7)

Luck Of Clover¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 65

8/1

Raced to a similar level in three starts so far while showing enough promise that she can make her mark in a low grade affair for this handicap and turf debut.

Form: 6-44

(1)

Green Etoile²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 64

8/1

Son of Nathaniel showed promise in his second of three starts last year. Stable in form and bred to appreciate this stiffer test on handicap and season debut.

Form: 740-

(4)

Mrs Meader²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J W Mullins| OR: 63

25/1

Unfancied in four starts so far and not really improving. Unsuited by slow tempo on first try at this trip so may have more to offer still.

Form: 9-445

(12)

Confils⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Sweeney| T: George Baker| OR: 62

20/1

Has failed to make an impression in three starts so far and doesn't really stand out on handicap debut. Others preferred.

Form: 07-6

(11)

Blowing Dixie¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 61

6/1

Son of Dubawi was well beaten in three starts late last year. Gelded since and big improvement required on handicap debut for a stable quiet at present.

Form: 904-

Lock Seventeen^v³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 60

7/1

Son of Kitten's Joy gelded following three poor runs (one for Ger Lyons and two for current stable). Big progress needed on handicap debut.

Form: 6-79

(9)

Loch Lady⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 59

10/3

Camelot filly and a half-sister to four winners including Highland Knight, showed some ability in last two starts while remaining very green. Could have a lot more to offer now up in trip on handicap and turf debut.

Form: 05-7

(13)

Riverina^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 55

50/1

Sat on a slow tempo when disappointing on handicap debut at Kempton and miles more needed in a first-time hood.

Form: 084-8

(3)

Brinkleys Katie^p1⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: Paul George| OR: 52

28/1

Hung throughout when second in a two-horse race at Lingfield and needs addition of cheekpieces to have a big effect on first try on a fast surface.

Form: 048-92

(14)

Bonneville^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 52

5/1

Has race fitness on his side from an AW campaign and performing to a consistent standard. Runner-up the last twice and can be competitive if taking to turf this time.

Form: 744722

Abenaki³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: Miss S West| OR: 49

50/1

Six-race maiden (four starts for Mick Channon and two for new stable). Yet to suggest a breakthrough is on its way and others look stronger candidates.

Form: 7977-20

(2)

Moon Artist⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: M Blanshard| OR: 45

25/1

Maiden after six runs although did shape a bit better two starts back. Disappointed again latest and improvement now needed.

Forecasts

Loch Lady (10/3), Bonneville (5/1), Blowing Dixie (6/1), Lock Seventeen (7/1), Green Etoile (8/1), Luck Of Clover (8/1), Sea Art (10/1), Miss Green Dream (12/1), Confils (20/1), Mrs Meader (25/1), Moon Artist (25/1), Brinkleys Katie (28/1), Riverina (50/1), Abenaki (50/1)

A few of these could easily leave their previous form behind in a low-grade affair on handicap debuts, in particular LOCH LADY, who shaped as though she'd appreciate some time away and this step up in trip. Green Etoile and Luck Of Clover are the others to note in the market.
