Crackin Dream⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: C G Cox| OR: 65

10/11

No match for an easy winner last time but he showed improvement having been gelded. Return to 7f is likely to be beneficial and this will take little winning.

Form: 536-702

Reddiac⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 63

7/2

Attracted support on a couple of occasions as a juvenile and looks nicely weighted on some of his form. Last of 13 on return when tried in blinkers and aids removed now. Hard to gauge, but fair to say he would have to be noted if backed.

Form: 30045-0

(4)

Ample Plenty¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 59

7/1

Has run to a similar level in three of her four starts including her handicap debut in January. Bred to want further than this and a six month absence prompts further caution.

Form: 600-5

(5)

Rita's Folly⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 56

9/1

Showed promise on a couple of occasions last year. Beaten 59L on last month's comeback and cannot be recommended on that showing.

Form: 34674-0

Secret Treaties²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 52

22/1

Well beaten all starts including last month's handicap debut. Has not shown enough to suggest he can figure off a mark which is hard to reconcile.

Form: 0-900

(3)

Mallons Spirit⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 46

10/1

Has gone off at odds of 100/1 on all three starts and has barely beaten a rival. Has shown some speed on last couple of starts so worth a look in the market on handicap debut off such a low mark.

Form: 0-08

(7)

Exousia^b1⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Spiller| OR: 45

25/1

Beaten by wide margins on all starts to date and hard to find positives. Blinkered for the first time on return from three weeks off.

Form: 069-09

Forecasts

Crackin Dream (10/11), Reddiac (7/2), Ample Plenty (7/1), Rita's Folly (9/1), Mallons Spirit (10/1), Denis The Diva (10/1), Secret Treaties (22/1), Exousia (25/1)

CRACKIN DREAM is the only of these who can boast a progressive profile and a reproduction of his latest run would probably be enough. Reddiac has been backed a couple of times ahead of a good run off higher marks than today and he could be dangerous if supported again. The market may also prove the best guide to the remainder given that improvement on previous form will need to be uncovered.
