Fact Or Fable^p1⁷⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 61

50/1

Makes his AW debut with headgear tried for the fourth time having finished well down the field in French nursery last time (out of the frame last six starts). Beaten in sellers/claimers; mark looks high enough, others persuade more.

Form: 575080

Divine Connection⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 60

11/4

Back to form last time out from a poor draw over 7f here doing well to take fourth (didn't look suited by the drop in trip). Shaped well the time before over C&D (better than distance beaten); better drawn this time back to 1m; one to note.

Form: 667654

Moontide³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 60

20/1

Handicap newcomer who hasn't as yet shown that much (couple of respectable effort on French claimers). Made his AW debut last time over 7f in selling company; more needed to be competitive (mark looks challenging).

Liberty Filly¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 60

5/1

Very easy to back when making her C&D nursery debut last time (not seen to best effect) finishing in midfield after making late headway. Dropped 3lb for that effort, there may be more to come from a better draw this time around.

Form: 9357

Prairie Moppins¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 59

9/2

Improved with each of her three runs (being brought along steadily); caught the eye last time out over 7f at Chelmsford when fourth (better than the bare result). Now goes handicapping, open to more progress; interesting contender.

Form: 094

Chateau Peapod^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: B Doyle| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 54

8/1

Creditable effort on her fourth nursery start over 1m2f last time out making the running but being worn down at the death. Cheekpieces now on for the first-time as she steps back in trip; suspect more is needed to win off this sort of mark.

Form: 842653

Dazzling Darren^p1⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: A West| OR: 50

16/1

Just the three minor event runs to his name at up 1m in which he's shown very little so far. Cheekpieces added for his handicap/AW debut; plenty to prove on the evidence so far with his mark looking far from lenient.

Form: 060

Halfacrown¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 47

15/2

Showed very little prior to a wind op including being beaten in handicap company off higher marks. Improved last time on his first start back from his wind procedure taking third off this mark in a 7f nursery; has to prove himself at 1m.

Form: 956573

Lafontaine²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk| OR: 46

9/2

May well be the lesser of the two runners from the stable in this although her latest effort would have been the best that she has produced so far (fourth over C&D). Gave the impression she could win off a basement mark but does meet some improvers.

Form: 0775U4

Ask Siri¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

100/1

Hard to take much encouragement from her recent efforts; always behind at Windsor in testing conditions over 5f last time. Yet to try 1m and has shown some signs of temperament issues; AW debut, others make more appeal.

Form: 083069

Red Hottie³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden who remains with little form even after her nursery debut over 6f last time. Raced closer to the pace than ideal last time but hardly the type to be making excuses for; hard to make a case for her chance.

Form: 7080

(10)

Lily Bonnette^b1⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 45

66/1

Well beaten in her three starts so far including here over 7f when making an AW debut. Blinkers now reached for as she makes her handicap debut; hasn't shown anything that would make her of interest in this sphere though.

Form: 086

Forecasts

Divine Connection (11/4), Lafontaine (9/2), Prairie Moppins (9/2), Liberty Filly (5/1), Halfacrown (15/2), Chateau Peapod (8/1), Dazzling Darren (16/1), Moontide (20/1), Mungo's Quest (20/1), Fact Or Fable (50/1), Red Hottie (50/1), Lily Bonnette (66/1), Ask Siri (100/1)

Some of these are hard to make a case for and don’t looked particularly well handicapped but there are one or two who have caught the eye of late in particular DIVINE CONNECTION who ran a stormer from a bad draw here over 7f last time with that trip also looking on the short side for her. Prairie Moppins (one of two Sylvester Kirk runners) really caught the eye last time out at Chelmsford when still looking green and doing all her best work at the finish over 7f and she has to be of interest on her handicap debut. Kirk’s other runner Lafontaine also looks the type to pick up a nursery soon and should get involved here with Halfacrown and Liberty Filly two others to note.
