Born To Reason^b³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 55| CD

10/1

Lawyersgunsn'money^p⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 53

(5)

Disruptor^v⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 53

3/1

Nine-race maiden; rattled the crossbar so to speak when beaten a neck by Rajman in a 7f Class 6 handicap at Kempton last week; marginally more appealing than some.

(12)

Maryellen^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: A Bailey| OR: 53

50/1

Didn't show a great deal of obvious promise on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) 24 days ago; this daughter of Mayson is now 0-4 in her brief racing career.

Big Bang^h¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 48

66/1

Anything but explosive at big prices in three 1m2f novice contests; virtually impossible to fathom a positive angle now dropped into a seller.

Form: 785

(7)

Newgirlintown^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Foley| T: G O'Leary| OR: 49| BF

9/2

Seven-race maiden; has reasonable form in the book in the context of this race; hung left under pressure when finishing 3L fourth to Mont Kiara in a 7f Class 6 handicap at Lingfield ten days ago; stablemate of Feisty Katerina.

Form: 805344

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: G O'Leary| OR: 47

22/1

21-race maiden; has toiled on the Polytrack at Dundalk (1m-1m4f) for the vast majority of 2019 (0-2 since leaving the care of Adrian Brendan Joyce); an accompanying stablemate of Newgirlintown?

Form: 000050

(3)

Lady Carduros^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

25/1

Ten-race maiden; an ever so slight improvement on her last couple of starts, including when a staying on fifth (25-1) to Al Batal in a 7f Class 6 selling handicap at Southwell latest.

Form: 000055

(6)

Ramblow^t,v³²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Keelan Baker⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45| C

80/1

Won twice in quick succession for Mick Appleby (7f-1m) in March 2018; entirely downhill since and therefore is very difficult to consider as a viable winner; stablemate of the more appealing Born To Reason.

Form: 637096

Conqueress^p¹¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 45

66/1

In steady decline over then duration of 2018 and 2019; absent since finishing well down the field (40-1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in August; makes no appeal despite the ease in grade.

Form: 960590

Forecasts

Vipin (11/4), Disruptor (3/1), Newgirlintown (9/2), Lawyersgunsn'money (6/1), Born To Reason (10/1), Is It Off (10/1), Feisty Katerina (22/1), Lady Carduros (25/1), Maryellen (50/1), Conqueress (66/1), Big Bang (66/1), Ramblow (80/1), Go Annie Go (100/1)

A race which will surely make precious little appeal to most punters. The Irish trainer Gerard O'Leary is doubly represented by NEWGIRLINTOWN and Feisty Katerina, although the latter named filly looks to be merely an accompanying stable companion for the selection. His three-year-old Clodovil filly is partnered by Shane Foley and has reasonable form in the context of this low-grade contest. Possible, albeit not massively appealing alternatives include Disruptor and the recent C&D winner Born To Reason (who flopped here from a wide draw on Saturday).
