Roys Dream^p²⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: Paul Collins| OR: 69| D

5/1

Winner at Carlisle and Leicester over 6f last season, but was not at her best towards the end of the campaign. Looks a little high in the handicap on her return to action.

Form: 641667-

Kath's Lustre¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 68| BF| D

12/1

Beaten, although not disgraced, off this sort of mark towards the end of last season. Has gone well fresh so absence since December is not too much of a worry.

Form: 428426-

(5)

Tundra^b1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Carson| OR: 67| D

11/2

Capable performer on her day, but is not the most consistent. Not much wrong with her latest effort at Doncaster, however, and is only 2lb higher than her last winning mark in November.

Form: 0159-96

(6)

Powerful Dream^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 65| CD

9/4

C&D winner who is usually kept busy and her recent second of 10 over 5f at this track suggests she is coming to the boil. Down 2lb so has to enter calculations at a venue which clearly suits.

Form: 984-652

(9)

Ghepardo^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: P R Chamings| OR: 63

14/1

Seasonal reappearance and wearing a tongue tie (retained) for the first time when satisfactory fifth of eight, beaten 3L, at Lingfield last month. Likes fast ground and is feasibly weighted.

Form: 78279-5

(2)

Edged Out²⁵⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 61| CD

33/1

Drew a blank last season and handicap mark has plunged accordingly. Has the ability to take advantage of this mark if anywhere near her best, but she is not getting any younger.

Form: 344656-

(3)

Babyfact¹⁹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: M S Saunders| OR: 59| CD

20/1

Bits and pieces of fair form without winning last year. Won over this C&D off 11lb higher two years ago so clearly has potential to get involved if the fire still burns.

Form: 775260-

(7)

Mooroverthebridge⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Liam Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 58| CD

6/1

Scored over 7f at Wolverhampton in January and has run with credit over a variety of distances since. Has winning form over C&D and has claims off a fair mark.

Form: 149635

Tally's Song^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: G Harris| OR: 45

66/1

Stable companion of Mooroverthebridge who remains a maiden after 41 races. Fourth of 10, albeit beaten 7L, at this track recently and no obvious reason why she should end her victory drought.

Form: 780-004

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 10p in the pound

Forecasts

Powerful Dream (9/4), Roys Dream (5/1), Tundra (11/2), Mooroverthebridge (6/1), Kath's Lustre (12/1), Exceedingly Diva (12/1), Ghepardo (14/1), Babyfact (20/1), Edged Out (33/1), Tally's Song (66/1)

Several of these are making their seasonal reappearance so the betting will be informative, but there are no fitness doubts about POWERFUL DREAM, who likes this venue, seems to be approaching peak form and is nicely treated. Tundra, Mooroverthebridge and Ghepardo look to be her main rivals.
