Superiority¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Michael Coles⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 64

7/1

Didn't look devoid of ability in three outings last year and reportedly didn't handle the kickback on her latest run at Southwell (6f). Makes her handicap debut here at a low level for a yard in decent form but with an inexperienced rider (0-9).

Comeatchoo¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Davis| T: P S McEntee| OR: 58| BF| D

3/1

Been kept busy, this his eighth run of the year. Off the mark at Kempton (5f) in January and has ran well in defeat in three subsequent outings and is 6lb above his winning mark but has shown he can win and is in better form than his opposition.

Street Life^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 54

10/11

10-race maiden, he has ran similar races in defeat on his last four starts (5f/6f). Has dropped 6lb since making his handicap debut and shouldn't be far away on those recent efforts.

Form: 4854-34

Lady Latte^h1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 53

7/1

Increasing SPs and well held on all three starts so far. Recently returned from a break over 1m at this track, but no improvement shown there. Hood added for handicap debut and drops significantly in trip. Best watched unless market is positive.

Form: 77-9

It's Not My Fault^p1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: P T Midgley| OR: 48

14/1

0-9, but has shown herself probably capable of winning on more than one occasion. However, she hasn't really done so in her last five runs since joining this trainer. Finished last of 13, beaten 14½L here last time (6f) and she has plenty to prove.

Form: 2550-00

Charmore¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 45

20/1

Swiss Spirit filly who cost a mere 800 gns as a yearling. Has been tailed off on all outings here (7f), beaten a total of 105L. Has joined a new yard but is 29lb out of the handicap and others are preferred.

Form: 000-

Forecasts

Street Life (10/11), Comeatchoo (3/1), Superiority (7/1), Lady Latte (7/1), It's Not My Fault (14/1), Charmore (20/1)

With little form of substance to go on, COMEATCHOO has at least won a race and held his form since then which makes him a strong contender. Street Life hasn't been too far away in recent outings and is likely to give his running again having eased a little further in the weights whilst Superiority showed a modicum of ability last year and makes her handicap debut in a moderate affair.
