Fairy Fast^b1⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 56

9/2

Showed some really good speed to get off the mark at the fifth attempt at Thirsk last time, and interesting connections change the headgear here. Penalty to carry but clearly improving, and a big player if handling the surface.

Form: 3-9341

(12)

Valley Belle¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| C

5/1

Back to form last two starts, close second here over 7f and then occupying the same position at Yarmouth over six. Not best drawn but in good heart and could get among the places at a track she likes.

Form: 384022

Sarsaparilla Kit⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: S C Williams| OR: 55

5/2

Not a lot to go overboard about on three runs so far, but yard know the time of day and if there's any money around for her in her forst handicap today, it needs to be strongly noted.

Form: 7-70

(6)

Lysander Belle²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Mackay| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 55

7/2

Had looked to be going backwards but stopped the rot with a better effort at Southwell, one that didn't go unnoticed by the handicapper, who raised her 3lb. Different conditions to cope with here, but not discounted.

Form: 8-88402

(5)

Awarded^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 54

14/1

Not really progressing after five starts to date and now connections go for headgear to try and turn things around. Looks risky, and others readily preferred.

Form: 0633-7

(8)

Thegreyvtrain²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 52

14/1

Almost made it fifteenth time lucky at Bath last time out, beaten a short head, and although the handicapper nudges her back up the handicap for it, she'd have a chance of finally getting off the mark if she can repeat it.

Form: 07-4792

(10)

Nervous Nerys⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: A M Hales| OR: 46

14/1

Going nowhere quickly at present and only stayed on at one pace over 7f at Kempton last time, a run that suggests she'll find this trip too sharp a test.

Form: 7965-69

(3)

Little Tipple^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 46

33/1

Well beaten most starts and not progressing, so the cheekpieces tried today will need to have a big effect if she's to take a hand.

Form: 50486-0

(2)

Wye Bother^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: J M Bradley| OR: 46

25/1

0-16 and just the one placing to show for her efforts, that coming at Wolverhampton two starts ago. Looks modest and easy enough to pass her over.

Form: 744926

(9)

Laura's Legacy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 45

10/1

Only had the four starts, likely to do better and stayed on over 5f at Southwell last time for fourth. In good hands, but does need to start showing more.

Form: 7-654

Non-Runners

(4)

Sweet Forgetme Not¹²

Weight: 8-13| Age: 3

T: Samuel Farrell J: E J Walsh

Forecasts

Sarsaparilla Kit (5/2), Lysander Belle (7/2), Fairy Fast (9/2), Valley Belle (5/1), Swell Song (6/1), Laura's Legacy (10/1), Thegreyvtrain (14/1), Awarded (14/1), Nervous Nerys (14/1), Sweet Forgetme Not (14/1), Wye Bother (25/1), Little Tipple (33/1)

Fairy Fast will be a big threat if she's as effective on this surface as she was on turf at Thirsk last time, but that is an if, and similarly Thegreyvtrain would have a great chance on his latest start, but he's yet to win in 15 starts, and that's offputting. A flyer is taken that SARSPARILLA KIT is going to leave her previous form behind and if there's any money for her, that would only increase confidence. Swell Song is another that could easily improve today too, and is given respect.
