Inevitable Outcome⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 56

7/2

Three novice runs last autumn hinted she may be up to winning a small race and not disgraced on handicap bow at Kempton 6f last time where stayed on after meeting interference to finish fourth. Fine yard in decent form at present.

Form: 567-4

Sir Rodneyredblood³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 55| D

15/8

Won Kempton 6f handicap off 50 in November and not disgraced off 7lb higher mark when fair third at Chelmsford last time. Eased down 2lb since so should be thereabouts.

Amnaa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: J J Bridger| OR: 54| D

20/1

Won the valuable Rous Selling Stakes at York last summer for Adrian Nicholls but attracted no bid. Fallen 18lb in handicap since then and hasn't shone in two starts at Kempton of late for current yard. Others make more appeal.

Form: 34878-7

Kelinda Dice³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: M Quinn| OR: 53

12/1

Poor form first two starts but did better when eighth at Chelmsford in November in 6f novice event. Hampered start on handicap bow there last time but stayed on final furlong and off 2lb lower is not without interest. Worth checking for market move.

Lady Phyllis³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 52

14/1

Regressive form in five starts so far having begun with a promising first effort here over 5f in August. Well beaten last two outings and despite 4lb drop makes little appeal.

Form: 35408-

Jungle Capers¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M R Channon| OR: 50| BF

11/2

Fair second penultimate start on h'cap bow at Chelmsford 6f and didn't get best of runs when sixth over 5f at Wolverhampton latest. Return to this trip may help and is not without a chance.

Form: 0002-6

Mr Kodi⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: P D Evans| OR: 48

5/1

Yet to reach a place in 10 career starts and despite coming down the weights hasn't made much impression in recent outings. Very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 506476-

Depeche Toi^p1¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: J G Portman| OR: 46

16/1

Modest form in three 6f auction stakes on turf this summer. Not seen since July but drops in grade on handicap bow and has been handed plater's mark. First-time cheekpieces added so is worth noting for any interest.

Form: 950-

(2)

Butterfly Pose^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 45

33/1

No places yet in seven attempts. Hint at modicum of talent penultimate start when beaten just over three lengths in Wolverhampton 7f h'cap. 1lb wrong at weights and on balance has plenty to find.

Form: 848077-

Forecasts

Sir Rodneyredblood (15/8), Inevitable Outcome (7/2), Mr Kodi (5/1), Jungle Capers (11/2), Kelinda Dice (12/1), Lady Phyllis (14/1), Depeche Toi (16/1), Amnaa (20/1), Butterfly Pose (33/1)

A very modest sprint handicap in which the unexposed filly DEPECHE TOI is interesting on handicap bow for a decent yard who can get one ready after an absence. She didn't show much in three turf outings last summer, but they were better races than this. Inevitable Outcome is another who may well take a step forward and she is feared, along with Sir Rodneyredblood and Jungle Capers, who may both have a say in proceedings. Kelinda Dice is another who cannot be totally ruled out of the equation.
