Strictly Fun Racing Club Handicap

Off time: 14:01 | Winning time: 1m 0.76s

(3)

Mr Buttons^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 76| D

4/1

Sixth when encountering soft ground for the first time at Doncaster latest the first time in eight career starts he hasn't made the frame. With likely quick surface here though he can get back to usual service and make a bold bid.

Form: 32-3326

(6)

Sandridge Lad¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: J Ryan| OR: 72| D

33/1

Three-time AW winner but yet to make the frame in seven starts on turf and recent outings suggest that won't be changing anytime soon.

Form: 160007

(2)

Scale Force^b⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 70| BF| D

3/1

Gets 1lb back despite only being beaten a neck into second at Wolverhampton (AW) latest. A little more hit and miss on turf but no doubt his handicap should be within range.

Form: 1-24272

(7)

Texting¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak| OR: 67

9/4

Twice placed in novice company and second again on handicap debut at Yarmouth on heavy ground latest. Very keen there so a drop to 5f should help and has genuine claims here.

Form: 3-242

(4)

Invincible Larne⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Quinn| OR: 67

13/2

Unplaced in in four starts so far and latest 5L sixth on handicap debut suggests a few more lbs needed from the handicapper before he's ready to strike.

Form: 56-56

(8)

Emily's Sea²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 66

22/1

Placed three times last season at two but ended season with a disappointing last of 11 on handicap debut. Turf/seasonal bow here and plenty to prove overall.

Form: 22360-

(5)

Cookupastorm^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 64

12/1

Winner at Newbury and fifth in Super Sprint at two but three races this term shown her in a lesser light. Handicap sliding and yet another change of headgear tried but suspicion she hasn't trained on.

Form: 506-794

(1)

Hanakotoba^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 63| D

8/1

Dual AW scorer kept busy this term with this her 10th run of the campaign. 5L third latest gives her 2¾L to make up on Texting although with a 2lb pull she should at least get closer. Perhaps more exposed than most.

Form: 752553

Forecasts

Texting (9/4), Scale Force (3/1), Mr Buttons (4/1), Invincible Larne (13/2), Hanakotoba (8/1), Cookupastorm (12/1), Emily's Sea (22/1), Sandridge Lad (33/1)

Although still a novice the vote goes to TEXTING who was keen enough on her handicap debut latest despite finishing second suggesting a drop to the bare minimum 5f here could be just what the doctor ordered. Consistent Mr Buttons is expected to go well again now back on a sound surface and also worth considering is Scale Force who ran well last time out on AW.
