Gift Of Youth^p¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 65

2/1

Posted by far his best effort to date when fourth over C&D on his most recent start. That form has since been franked, and he now makes his handicap debut after a short break. Should play a leading role.

Form: 984-

You Don't Own Me^b³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 63| CD

3/1

Holds a much more solid profile than the majority of her rivals, and she scored over C&D in this grade on her penultimate start. Not beaten far at all when fourth at Wolverhampton (7f; standard) most recently. Solid claims back at this track.

Upstage¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 62

16/1

Contested a trio of decent maidens/novices in September. Has been given a break since then and she now makes handicap debut at a lower level. So well-bred that it would be a surprise if she were unable to make her presence felt now handicapping.

Billy Button^p1⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62

20/1

Handicap newcomer. Has ran over 5f/6f/7f on each of his three starts in maidens/novices. Drops back down to 6f and could improve for the switch to this company, but form of the yard is of slight concern.

Form: 550-

Sweet Serenade^v1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J Tate| OR: 60

7/2

Dropped 2lb since finishing fifth at Chelmsford (6f; standard) on just her second start in a handicap. That was a step in the right direction though, and first-time visor could have a positive effect on her.

Amicia^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 58

8/1

Stable going great guns at present, so it was a big disappointment that she was unable to find any improvement when making her handicap debut last time out. Drops back in trip to 6f as first-time blinkers are opted for.

Littlemissattitude²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 58

20/1

More promising signs shown last time out at Newcastle (5f; standard). Now steps back up to the trip she made her debut over on what is her handicap debut. Opening mark is fair, and it will be interesting to see if there is market support for her.

Form: 906-

Amnaa³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 57| D

25/1

Drops in grade slightly after posting another quiet effort over C&D last month. Yet to achieve anything in handicap company and her only career success came in a seller. Needs to find marked improvement to get involved.

Form: 634878-

Full Spectrum^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Paul George| OR: 54

25/1

Took somewhat of a backwards step most recently when switched to fibresand surface at Southwell (6f; standard). Clearly didn't enjoy that experience, but her handicap debut effort prior to that offered plenty of encouragement. Place claims.

Forecasts

Gift Of Youth (2/1), Sound Mixer (9/4), You Don't Own Me (3/1), Sweet Serenade (7/2), Amicia (8/1), Rapidash (8/1), Lili Wen Fach (14/1), Upstage (16/1), Littlemissattitude (20/1), Billy Button (20/1), Amnaa (25/1), Full Spectrum (25/1)

A wide-open contest to kickstart proceedings with a whole host of potential improvers involved in the shape of Gift Of Youth, Little Miss Attitude and Sound Mixer. The latter named out of that trio holds course form to his name when fourth on his most recent start. He should be competitive now switched to handicaps. Upstage is interesting as she is quite well-bred, and contested some pretty decent novice races. It would be disappointing if she wasn't capable of featuring at this lower level. As for the selection, the safest option is to stick with previous C&D winner YOU DON'T OWN ME who likes it at this track & wasn't disgraced when fourth last time out.
