Wild Dancer³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P R Chamings| OR: 62| D

12/1

Has won three times in 11 runs on turf, including at Lingfield (7f) at the back end of last year. Well held on her two starts this season, including latest at Sandown (7f) when eighth of nine. Returns to last winning mark but others are preferred.

Clem A¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 65

5/1

Broke his maiden at the eighth attempt last time at Salisbury (1m) where he kept on well at the finish after hitting the front 2f out. Has gone up 3lb in the weights and is down in trip. One for the shortlist.

Form: 72-4051

Miss Icon¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L P Keniry| T: P R Chamings| OR: 59| CD

9/2

A C&D winner here two runs back. Ran a good race last time at Lingfield (7f) on the AW when going off as the 3/1 joint-favourite. Has gone up a further 2lb, however, she was rated much higher last season. One to consider.

Form: 299/912

Jupiter^v²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 57

11/1

Was successful for the first time in 20 attempts on his latest run at Lingfield (7½f) in a 13 runner field where the visor was on for the first time. Has been raised 6lb as he looks to follow up. Leading contender.

Masquerade Bling^p⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 57| D

12/1

Has hit the frame in each of her last three starts in what has been a consistent spell. She was third of 11 on her latest outing over this C&D when going off at 20/1. Handicapper has dropped her 1lb in the weights. Each-way claims here.

Form: 50-7323

Field of Vision^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J L Flint| OR: 55| C

14/1

He has dropped right down the weights this year in what has been a disappointing spell for the gelding. His last appearance came at Ffos Las where he was fifth if eight over 1m. Has been eased 3lb here and is down in trip. Others are preferred.

Form: 707005

Bold Show^v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

12/1

Has hit the frame just once in his five starts so far, that was last time out when he was second of eight at Haydock over 7f where he had a visor on for the first time. Remains off the same mark here. Each-way claims.

Captain Sedgwick²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J L Spearing| OR: 48| BF| CD

3/1

Her last victory was over this C&D in July 2018. She has been running consistently well this season without success, including on her latest outing at Lingfield (7½f) when second of 13. Has gone up 2lb. One to consider.

Form: 889-532

Langley Vale¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 47| D

33/1

Scored on the AW at Wolverhampton (7f) at the back end of 2018, however, he is still looking for his opening win this year. He could only come home eighth of 14 on his latest start here over 6f. Up in trip but others appeal more.

Form: 71-5478

(6)

Hold Your Breath^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Fahy| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

25/1

Remains a maiden after 13 runs. Produced her best performance to date last time when she was second of eight at Leicester (7f). Has gone up 6lb for latest outing so more will be needed. Others preferred.

Form: 87-0002

Cooperess⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 46| D

5/1

Her last victory was in July 2019, however, she has hit the frame in each of her last three starts, including her most recent appearance over this C&D where she was third of 14. Remains off the same mark. Has to be respected.

Form: 076333

Lady Carduros^v1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Liam Jones| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

50/1

Yet to shine in seven racecourse appearances. Failed to beat a horse last time at Nottingham in a 13 runner field over 1m2f. Down in trip here. Needs to improve a lot so it is hard to make a case for her.

Forecasts

Captain Sedgwick (3/1), Miss Icon (9/2), Clem A (5/1), Cooperess (5/1), Glamorous Crescent (8/1), Secondo (10/1), Jupiter (11/1), Wild Dancer (12/1), Masquerade Bling (12/1), Bold Show (12/1), Field of Vision (14/1), Hold Your Breath (25/1), Langley Vale (33/1), Lady Carduros (50/1)

JUPITER took full advantage of his handicap mark last time at Lingfield to break his maiden. The way he stayed on strongly in that success indicates there is likely to be much more to come so take him to follow up. Clem A recorded her first ever success last time at Salisbury where she showed good speed in the closing stages to suggest this trip will suit her so she should go close, while Miss Icon has produced two excellent runs in her last two starts and although she has been raised 2lb in the weights, she can fill the placings.
