Danzena²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

25/1

Half-sister to the useful Danzeno finished in the middle of the pack in a very poor novice at Redcar on debut. Returns in a better race following a nine month break.

Form: 6-

Fashionesque³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: Rae Guest| D

9/2

Third here on debut and then got off the mark in a poor race at Redcar when running to a mark of 66 to beat a favourite who looked unlucky. Looks vulnerable under her penalty.

Form: 31

Geneva Spur²²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

8/1

Showed some ability over further last winter and makes a belated return over a trip at odds with her pedigree. Stable have been relatively quiet lately so hard to build a robust case.

Form: 68-

Mrs Discombe²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Quinn| OR: 72

7/2

Outran odds of 33/1 on handicap debut when attempting to make all. An official rating of 72 sets the standard, but her worst run to date came on fast ground and that's in line with her pedigree.

Form: 3-542

(3)

Sloane Garden

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate

7/2

70,000gns Ifraaj filly out of a dam who is an unraced sister to 1m2f AW Listed winner Miblish. Stable having an excellent year with this age group and rider is 25-75 for them.

Forecasts

Lady Bowthorpe (7/4), Mrs Discombe (7/2), Sloane Garden (7/2), Fashionesque (9/2), Geneva Spur (8/1), Danzena (25/1)

Sloane Garden represents an in form yard and the jockey booking is notable. However, LADY BOWTHORPE raced to a mark in the mid-70s on her debut and Jamie Spencer's mount is entitled to have improved since. She is giving away a fitness edge but has enough in hand to make that a risk worth taking. Mrs Discombe rates a danger judged on her latest run and a BHA rating of 72, whilst Fashionesque should find this a lot tougher than was the case at Redcar.
