No Can Do^t⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 59

12/1

Has been well held on his three starts so far, with his best effort coming two runs ago on the AW at Kempton (1m) where he was fourth of eight. Makes his handicap debut here so keep an eye out for any strong market confidence.

Berkshire Philly¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 59

8/1

Set for her opening run in a handicap contest after three modest performances. She was fourth of 11 at this course over 7f two runs ago, while last time she was 10th of 13 on the AW at Kempton (1m). Can't discount.

Treaty Of Dingle²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: H Morrison| OR: 58

5/2

Is still a maiden after seven starts, however, she has hit the frame on her latest two appearances, including last time on the AW at Kempton (1m) when she was third of 13 runners. Has gone up just 2lb here. One to consider.

River of Kings^h¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58

4/1

0-10 so far on the track. He did come close on the AW at Newcastle (7f) back in September when he was third of 13, beaten by ¾L. Has been a long way down the field since then. Needs to improve.

Speed Dating^v³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Kieren Fox| T: D Shaw| OR: 51

11/1

Yet to prevail in eight races. His form recently has been disappointing, including on his last run at Chelmsford (1m2f) where he was eighth of 12. Dropping down in trip here and is 4lb lower in the weights. Others are preferred.

Dazzling Darren^p¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: A West| OR: 49

8/1

Showed very little on his opening three starts but improved on his latest outing at Kempton (1m) on the AW where he was fourth of 12 on his first handicap run. Is down 1lb now. Worth consideration.

11/1

Forecasts

Treaty Of Dingle (5/2), River of Kings (4/1), Schumli (9/2), Lafontaine (11/2), Dazzling Darren (8/1), Berkshire Philly (8/1), Aiden's Reward (8/1), Villa Paloma (8/1), Jazz Style (11/1), Speed Dating (11/1), No Can Do (12/1)

LAFONTAINE was successful for the first time in her career at Kempton last time and she can defy her 4lb rise in the weights by following up here. The filly has improved since switching to the AW so this latest mark looks well within her reach. Treaty Of Dingle has been knocking on the door recently and should be close by once again at the finish over this distance, while Villa Paloma is making her handicap debut and could be off an interesting mark which gives her a good chance of hitting the frame.
