Beryl The Petal^v1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 71| BF

11/2

Has finished outside of the frame just once in seven starts since the turn of the year and arguably posted a career best when a neck second over a half furlong further at Beverley. Handled some cut there and can go close in a first-time visor.

Axe Axelrod^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71

10/1

Produced four very consistent efforts for Richard Fahey last season, winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on the third of those. Well below that in two starts this year for new yard and others preferred.

Form: 2215-98

Chains Of Love^p³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

10/1

Not at her best at Windsor last time, but had previously run well to be fifth of 13 at Thirsk on her season reappearance. Conditions pose a question with a poor run on soft ground previously.

Form: 1347-59

Leo Davinci^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: George Scott| OR: 67| BF

10/3

Struggled in his first four starts but left that all behind when a narrow third on Windsor handicap debut on soft ground. Only up 2lb and likely to have plenty more to offer in these conditions, with the drop of a furlong another plus.

Form: 66-593

(2)

Olivia R^h1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R P Downey| T: T D Barron| OR: 66

4/1

Five-race maiden has shown a clear preference for these underfoot conditions so far. Not disgraced at Leicester latest but more needed in a first time hood and tougher company.

Form: 636-94

(8)

Sophia Maria²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Elliott| T: J D Bethell| OR: 65

28/1

Remains a maiden following six starts and after three placed efforts she has disappointed in two handicaps up to this trip. Down 3lb but plenty more required with the ground also an unknown.

Form: 622-300

(12)

Ugo Gregory²⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

20/1

Not disgraced in mid-division in the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy over 6f here on his last start of 2018. Gelded ahead of season and handicap debut in conditions that should suit. Market may provide best guide to expectations.

Aghast³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: K A Ryan| OR: 63

10/1

Won off 6lb lower on season reappearance over 6f at Thirsk and possible excuses when hampered early before a well held third at Nottingham. Meets much different ground and previously failed to impress over this distance.

Form: 5047-13

(1)

Abie's Hollow^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 63

10/1

Seven-race maiden finished one place behind Beryl The Petal when third over a half furlong further at Beverley. That was up with his best efforts and seems to appreciate cut in the ground. Possibilities again with cheekpieces added.

Form: 4259-83

Reasoned³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 63

11/1

Daughter of Intello has made steady progress in four starts so far and latest AW third suggests a drop back to this distance may help. Down 1lb but more needed with ground an unknown.

Form: 0-643

(15)

Ey Up Its Mick^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 58

20/1

Seemed to be improving with a couple of solid efforts at Thirsk and Ripon before disappointing on soft ground latest. Visor swapped back to blinkers and while worth another go at this trip, the going remains a concern.

Form: 98-8254

(13)

Parion¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Evans| T: R A Fahey| OR: 57

25/1

Mayson filly has proved disappointing this year following the promise of her sole start of 2018. Up in trip but hard to fancy following two well held efforts in selling company.

Form: 2-5980

(11)

Dreamseller²⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56

33/1

Five-race maiden who is a half-brother to the 7f winner McMunigal; 5lb lower than when competing in nurseries in mid to late 2018. Progress required following a lengthy absence.

Form: 48568-

Micronize¹⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55

14/1

13-race maiden has gone close a few times including a career best second over this trip at Wolverhampton (AW) in January. Gelded since and up in class. Handled soft previously and likely to have more to offer now.

Form: 82539-2

Forecasts

Leo Davinci (10/3), Olivia R (4/1), Beryl The Petal (11/2), Aghast (10/1), Chains Of Love (10/1), Axe Axelrod (10/1), Abie's Hollow (10/1), Reasoned (11/1), Micronize (14/1), Olympic Spirit (16/1), Ey Up Its Mick (20/1), Ugo Gregory (20/1), Parion (25/1), Sophia Maria (28/1), Dreamseller (33/1)

Micronize has had a few chances now but he could improve again following a break in conditions that should suit. Beryl The Petal is a reliable filly and perhaps the headgear will provide the spark to gain an overdue win. LEO DAVINCI showed pace and was only just denied late in an improved performance on handicap debut. The soft ground was a major factor and back in distance he can progress again.
