Apache Blaze^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr William Easterby| T: R Brisland| OR: 61| CD

8/1

Her sole success came over this C&D back in April 2018. She has gone close on a number of occasions this year, including when she was second of 10 on her penultimate start at Yarmouth (1m2f). Has to be respected off this mark.

Form: 532527

Country'n'western⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: George Eddery⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 60

12/1

Was successful on the AW at Southwell (1m6f) earlier this year but his form recently on turf has been disappointing. He could only finish sixth of 14 at Windsor (1m3½f) last time where he was 17½L behind Para Queen. Needs to improve.

Essenaitch⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P Thomas⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 58| CD

6/1

A C&D winner whose form has been largely poor this year. He was third of 14 last time out but was 10½L behind Para Queen. Remains off the same mark so he comes into this with each-way claims.

Frankster^t⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 57

16/1

Has not scored since he was successful at Pontefract (1m) in October 2017. Did run much better than he has been doing this year when he was fourth of nine at Pontefract (1m), beaten by 2½L last time out. Has to be respected off this mark.

Form: 5-45574

Be Thankful⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Patrick Berkins⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 54

33/1

Remains a maiden after nine starts. Has shown some promising signs this year, however, she could only finish sixth of nine on her latest appearance at Ffos Las (1m2f). Has been eased 2lb. One to think about.

Form: 353046

Para Queen⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J Harding| T: H Main| OR: 51

10/11

Has been successful twice in her last four starts, including on her latest outing at Windsor (1m3½f) where she prevailed by 7L. The handicapper has raised her 11lb for that win but there is likely to be more to come from her. Big player.

Form: 0-86161

Mime Dance³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr M S Johnson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 51

100/1

Was a winner on the AW at Lingfield (1m) three runs ago. Has struggled in his two starts since. He came home at the rear of a seven runner field at Chelmsford (7f) on his latest run. Others appeal more on this surface.

Form: 070107

Telekinetic⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46| BF

10/1

Is still looking for her first win after 12 starts. She finished second of seven on her penultimate outing at Yarmouth (1m2f), while last time out, she was fifth of 11 at Bath (1m2f). Remains off the same mark. Not one to ignore.

Form: 479825

New Rhythm³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Connor Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 45

80/1

Lightly-raced filly who is a maiden after five appearances. She has struggled so far on the track, including since joining handicap company. She came home seventh of 10 on her latest start at Hamilton (1m1f). Difficult to fancy.

Form: 40-007

Dolly Dupree¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Oliver Daykin⁽⁷⁾| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 46

8/1

Recorded back-to-back wins on the AW at Southwell back in February. Although she has yet to score on turf, she has hit the frame on a number of runs, including on her latest outing when she was third of 13 at Yarmouth (1m2f). Has an each-way chance.

Forecasts

Para Queen (10/11), Essenaitch (6/1), Apache Blaze (8/1), Dolly Dupree (8/1), Telekinetic (10/1), Milan Reef (10/1), Country'n'western (12/1), Frankster (16/1), Be Thankful (33/1), New Rhythm (80/1), Mime Dance (100/1)

PARA QUEEN was well ahead of her handicap mark last time at Windsor where she was an emphatic winner and although she has been raised 11lb, she is worth siding with to continue her excellent form as she could be even better from this shorter trip. Milan Reef is capable of more than her latest performance and she should be much closer to Para Queen this time around where she is far better off the weights, while Apache Blaze is good enough to be in contention at the finish from this latest mark.
