15/8

Upped 6lb today after winning a 7f handicap here last time under today's jockey who is hotter than the sun at present. Won off higher marks in the not-too distant past so can make light of the rise here although the 1m trip remains a slight concern.

Form: 9060-31

Saikung⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: C Hills| OR: 82| D

9/2

Dual turf winner ran well in last visit here before running lesser races at Lingfield and Wolverhampton. If a return to this course yields a return to top form she can go close.

Form: 32027-6

Delicate Kiss^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 76| CD

13/2

4lb higher than November C&D win but placed twice in four races since. Handicapper knows her limits so may find one or two stronger here.

Form: 51352-9

Roman Spinner^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: Rae Guest| OR: 74| CD

4/1

Won over 1m at Lingfield followed by a C&D win here over Saikung next. Fifth at Lingfield latest suggested handicapper may have caught up but not completely ruled out.

Form: 675115-

Shamameya¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67| BF

6/1

Neck second to Dubai Elegance who ran really well here on Wednesday reads well and latest effort at Lingfield saw her encounter all sorts of misfortune. Should be no such issues here and suspect today might be her day.

Form: 769/25

Bedtime Bella^v⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 66

15/2

Just touched off in a Southwell claimer latest where she got her most recent win. Form away from that course less persuasive on the whole and others preferred here.

Form: 014-532

After running so well on handicap debut SHAMAMEYA was decidedly unlucky next time out at Lingfield but with a smaller field today she is taken to make amends and get off the mark. Although her form over 1m is a little less persuasive than over 7f Starlight Romance has to be taken seriously and Hollie Doyle's current form makes all of her mounts worth a second look. Saikung ran well here on her last visit and a similar effort would see her go close.
