Arabian Jazz^h³⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78| D

6/1

Progressive as a 3yo, rounding off her season with a win at Sandown, form that's been franked since. Concern that she's not been seen since last August, which suggests she may have had issues, but hard to discount with trip and ground fine.

Form: 452231-

Rux Ruxx²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

9/4

Bounced back to form with a hard-fought win at Carlisle last time out, and 3lb rise for that head win is fair. Not the most consistent around, so no saying she'll put it all in again, but clearly in good heart and not ruled out.

Form: 526-861

Betsey Trotter^p1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72

6/1

Dropping like a stone in the handicap after a series of moderate efforts and now connections try headgear to remedy the situation, but plenty to prove at present and the case for winning this is not easy to see.

Form: 50-0090

Rose Marmara^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 68| CD

12/1

Three times a winner here, and 7f very much her trip, so has that going for her. Dropped a hint on ground too soft for her last time and conditions ideal today. 5lb lower than last win too, and all looks in place for a very big run.

Form: 170-007

(4)

Eponina¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 64

11/4

Return to turf seemed to suit her when successful at Chester on latest start, coming back off a break to record her third success. 5lb rise makes life tougher and she's never been the most consistent, but clearly in good heart.

Form: 36-6041

(6)

Bibbidibobbidiboo²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: F Norton| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 63| C| D

9/2

In no form to speak of at present and although her mark is falling quickly, she shows no signs of being able to take advantage. Hard to fancy.

Form: 925-760

Forecasts

Rux Ruxx (9/4), Eponina (11/4), Bibbidibobbidiboo (9/2), Harvest Day (11/2), Arabian Jazz (6/1), Betsey Trotter (6/1), Rose Marmara (12/1), Peggy's Angel (20/1)

Eponina and Harvest Day should ensure there's no hanging around and the former makes some appeal now she's refound her form. If she can get clear she could take some pegging back, but it might be worth chancing ROSE MARMARA now she's got her ground and is at her favourite venue. Her yard may well have had this as a target for her and she's simply too well handicapped to ignore. Arabian Jazz will be a danger if she's ready to go after an absence, and Rux Ruxx can't be ruled out as she's in good heart.
