Burton Constable Plate Apprentice Handicap

Off time: 18:00 | Winning time: 1m 36.89s

Stallone^v1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 67

5/1

£100,000 yearling; didn't exactly set the world alight as a juvenile, but gelded and in cheekpieces, and fared better when fourth of 9 to Bugler Bob on handicap debut at Newcastle last month. Visored now, and may do better if staying longer trip.

Form: 859-4

(10)

Mecca's Gift⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Paula Muir| T: M Dods| OR: 65

8/1

Some promise last year in novice events and ran on from rear to be 3L fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in September. Faded late after racing wide over 1m at Thirsk on last week's return, and this trip may suit better.

Form: 0834-9

(5)

Kensington Art¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Sean Davis| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

11/4

Stepped up markedly on juvenile efforts when a staying-on third of 10 to Lexikon in a 1m handicap at Redcar last time. Would have gone close but for traffic problems there, and leading claims in this affair.

Form: 8408-3

(4)

Termonator¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Andrew Breslin| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64

7/1

Best form has come on Fibresand at Southwell, and he improved when winning a modest 6f handicap there last month. Needs to prove he can be as effective on turf, but should be suited by the step up in trip.

Form: 5691

Molly Mai³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: P J McBride| OR: 61

15/2

Three promising efforts from five starts as a juvenile, and better her previous efforts this year when 1¼L third of 8 to Isango in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Can do better, although wide draw does her no favours.

Form: 243-883

(9)

Early Edition^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Sanderson| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 58

25/1

Showed ability for Sir Mark Prescott last year, but isn't progressing, and had no excuses when behind Lexikon and Kensington Art at Redcar last time, hanging right under pressure.

Form: 07540-5

(3)

Furyan⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Izzy Clifton⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57

25/1

Better effort this season when 5¾L eighth of 15 to Socru in a 6f handicap at Doncaster last time, but didn't look straightforward, and remains easy enough to oppose.

Form: 8670-08

(6)

Good Looker²²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 56

20/1

Showed ability in qualifying runs around 7f last year, but failed to improve on nursery debut at Redcar, albeit not looking suited by drop in distance. Gelded since, and may yet progress at this sort of trip.

Form: 5360-

(7)

Neileta²⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Danny Redmond| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55

33/1

Nearer last than first in three runs last year. Has been gelded subsequently, but it takes a leap of faith to make a case for him from a stiff-looking opening mark.

Form: 990-

(1)

Supreme Dream²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 55

20/1

Easily her best effort as a juvenile when third of 14 in a C&D novice in September. Claims on that effort, but she ran poorly in a couple of subsequent nursery outings, and that tempers confidence markedly.

Form: 00389-

(2)

Lexikon¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 54

4/1

Only modest, but placed a couple of times prior to making all the running in a 1m handicap at Redcar last time to beat Fitzy and Kensington Art. Should go well, but not sure to confirm form with the unlucky third.

Form: 25-2921

(11)

Zalmi Angel⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Laura Coughlan| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 54

16/1

Improved on a poor reappearance effort, but still showed only modest form when 8¾L fifth of 14 to Kodi Dream in handicap at Redcar last time. Needs to improve again to figure.

Form: 778-05

Forecasts

Kensington Art (11/4), Lexikon (4/1), Stallone (5/1), Termonator (7/1), Molly Mai (15/2), Mecca's Gift (8/1), Jungle Juice (12/1), Zalmi Angel (16/1), Supreme Dream (20/1), Good Looker (20/1), Furyan (25/1), Early Edition (25/1), Neileta (33/1)

Lexikon had KENSINGTON ART back in third when making all at Redcar, but the latter shaped really well after meeting trouble, and is expected to turn the table on 7lb better terms. Mecca's Gift shaped better than the bare result at Thirsk on last week's return, and this looks easier, so she needs consideration.
