Broken Spear^p⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 94| D

8/1

Consistent sprinter who landed second success last term when scoring over 5f at York in October. Showed pace before tiring into third on reappearance and should strip fitter this time.

Form: 12451-3

Primeravez²⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: M Dods| OR: 92

16/1

Ex-French filly who gives with give underfoot and ran well in decent company last term. Makes debut for yard that excels with sprinting fillies so interesting to see if the market speaks in her favour on first start for nearly nine months.

She Can Boogie³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 90| CD

11/4

Yard 2-34 with their runners here so far this season but she was one of them, winning in style on heavy ground over C&D last time. 2lb rise looks very fair and should make another bold bid for glory.

Form: 3114-31

Free Love²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 87| D

13/2

Has rocketed up the weights this term after winning her first two 5f handicaps, both at Nottingham. Well beaten in good event at York last time and will do well to bounce back.

Form: 302-119

Angel Alexander⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 80| D

11/10

Runner-up all three starts as a juvenile in fair company. Disappointed on seasonal return but showed plenty of speed on Monday to score nicely at Windsor (5f). Carries 6lb penalty and has decent chance if recovered from recent exertions.

Form: 222-81

Coolagh Magic^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| D

16/1

Best form on AW where won twice this winter. Appears best on top of the ground on turf and has run poorly last two starts, latest following gelding operation. Hard to recommend on current evidence.

No More Regrets^h1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: David Egan| T: P Morris| OR: 70| D

12/1

Landed French sprint maiden as a juvenile and ran some fair races without winning last term for Richard Hannon. Not in great form this term for new connections although showed good speed here penultmate start before fading. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Angel Alexander (11/10), She Can Boogie (11/4), Free Love (13/2), Broken Spear (8/1), Yolo Again (10/1), No More Regrets (12/1), Coolagh Magic (16/1), Primeravez (16/1)

The way SHE CAN BOOGIE won here last time she may take some stopping if in similar mood and she has a fine chance of landing her third course victory. It will be very interesting to see if the decent Primeravez attracts any money in the betting markets as she has potential for her new handler, while top weight Broken Spear can be relied upon to run another solid race. Angel Alexander is a danger under his penalty if fresh enough after winning well at Windsor earlier in the week, while Yolo Again is another with fair claims.
