Sweet Serenade¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Tate| OR: 62

6/1

Four-race maiden well held and never a factor on each occasion; struggling in three AW starts at Kempton and here; difficult to fancy on this occasion.

Form: 7578

(3)

Urtzi³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 61

11/1

Showed clear promise on her debut at Kempton (5f) in October but let down by slow starts on latest two appearances; may prosper in handicaps in time but probably best watched on this occasion.

Form: 487

(14)

Celtic Mist¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 58

25/1

Well held on all her three starts to date (twice at Kempton and once at Lingfield) and looks to be starting her handicap career more in hope than expectation; big surprise if she is good enough.

Form: 060

(5)

Rebel Redemption^v1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 58

9/4

Generally consistent though has failed to build on his best effort when finishing 2nd at Thirsk in September; possibly needs to drop a few more pounds in the weights but difficult to leave out of calculations in first-time visor.

Form: 092465

Sir Rodneyredblood²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 57| BF| D

11/4

Looked to have an inconsistent record but improved greatly with dominant front-running display at Kempton in November; slight excuse last time out; handicapper may have her mark though dangerous if getting soft lead.

Form: 539919

Lady Phyllis⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56

22/1

Returns to the track which saw her produce her best effort to date over 5f; finished stone last at Kempton on her latest start and has plenty to prove on second handicap outing.

Form: 3540

(4)

Kelinda Dice¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: M Quinn| OR: 55

14/1

Failed to beat a rival home on her first two racecourse appearances in April and August; showed more promise last time out over course and distance and is entitled to improve; interesting on handicap debut.

Form: 688

(9)

Red Maharani¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 55

20/1

Has plenty of experience and has run well over course and distance in the past; starting to become attractively handicapped and very much one to consider.

Form: 444026

Jungle Capers⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: M R Channon| OR: 45

6/1

Has run very green and hardly beaten a rival home on three racecourse appearances to date and it would be a major surprise if he is good enough on handicap debut.

Form: 000

(10)

May Happen¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: J A Osborne| OR: 45

40/1

Has struggled to make any impression on all three racecourse starts and while obviously being open to improvement it is difficult to make a case for her landing this based on all known form.

Form: 990

(6)

Hot Hot Hot⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

33/1

Made very little worthwhile impression in any of her four starts so far and needs drastic improvement now to get involved from 6lb out of the handicap.

Form: 9009

Rebel Redemption (9/4), Sir Rodneyredblood (11/4), Jungle Capers (6/1), Sweet Serenade (6/1), Leg It Lenny (10/1), Urtzi (11/1), Kelinda Dice (14/1), Casaruan (16/1), Dark Phoenix (16/1), Red Maharani (20/1), Lady Phyllis (22/1), Celtic Mist (25/1), Hot Hot Hot (33/1), May Happen (40/1)

A tricky race to get things underway and it may prove safe to stick with the one competitor with winning form in the shape of SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD who was fairly impressive at Kempton over this trip last month and had excuses when failing to follow it up last time out at the same track. If getting an easy lead from his low draw then he may take some pegging back. Topweight Leg It Lenny needs to recover from not enjoying a visor last time out but had previously shown enough form to suggest he is capable of winning a race off this mark. Kelinda Dice showed enough promise on her latest start to suggest she is capable of getting her head in front and might go well at a decent price.
