Too Shy Shy³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 73| CD

7/2

Highly tried as a two-year-old and took advantage of a big drop in class when making all over C&D in a maiden last month. More on back in handicap company and may have competition for the lead.

Form: 60808-1

Diva Rock¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: George Baker| OR: 73| D

9/2

Much improved when getting off on fourth attempt on handicap bow last August at Leicester though absence since more of a concern than the 5lb rise., Ran well on only previous run on AW.

Zim Baby¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott| T: M Appleby| OR: 71

7/2

Leicester 6f win last summer for previous trainer and shaped well on first run for current yard when stepping up to this trip here recently. Should have more to offer and this represents quite a drop in class.

Form: 2104-4

Dark Phoenix^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 66

7/2

Front-runner who has won two of his last four and and took another step forward when 7L clear of then third when unable to give 21lb away to the winner at Southwell last time. 4lb well in here so has to be of interest.

Form: 05-1012

Sound Mixer^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 66

4/1

Left with too much to do when third at Wolverhampton last time but that at least proved she stays this far and with top jockey taking over, may still have more to come though is proving expensive to follow.

Form: 044-223

Mackelly¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 61

12/1

Showed a bit of ability on debut over 7f but very little in two runs since at shorter. Better to come now handicapping for yard in excellent form and market should prove useful.

Form: 690-

Dark Phoenix (7/2), Zim Baby (7/2), Too Shy Shy (7/2), Sound Mixer (4/1), Diva Rock (9/2), Mackelly (12/1)

DARK PHOENIX is due to go up 4lb at the weekend so needs to take this opportunity and on current form, he may be able to do so. Zim Baby improved on debut for this yard and looks a big threat with Sound Mixer worthy of respect with this likely to be run to suit her.
