She's A Belter¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Ffrench| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 55

18/1

Not devoid of ability at a minor level in a couple of Irish AW starts, though well held on her British/stable debut at Newcastle more recently (1m, AW). Drops back in trip for her handicap debut from a stiff enough mark. Precautionary market check.

Form: 757

Jorgie¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: I Jardine| OR: 54

4/1

Showed minor promise on debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December, but was not as good on either start back there over 7f in January. In good hands, and no surprise to see him improve now entering handicaps. Market check advised.

Form: 7-76

Bankawi²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 53

3/1

Failed to show much in novice events, but improved to win at Catterick on entering nurseries (7f, good to soft) last July. Not as good from 6lb/5lb higher than that win in two further starts, so has a bit to prove on her reappearance.

Aiden's Reward¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 53| D

11/4

Improved a bit on previous efforts with two good runs at Newcastle (1m, AW) in the winter, going close before winning when last seen in February. Up 3lb, so needs to find a bit more, but is one of the more likely contenders here.

Form: 7446-21

Carriage Clock³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 51

12/1

Declared 9.00 Leics Sat. Showed promise at a minor level on her first two juvenile starts, but has so far been unable to kick on. Drops 4lb for this return from a break, which opens up possibilities back up in trip, if she takes up this engagement.

Form: 9657-88

(5)

Susie Javea²⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 48

10/1

Third in a Catterick seller (7f, good to soft) and then second in a fillies' handicap here (1m, good to soft) last season, before a below par end to the campaign. Back on same mark as that second, so can't be ruled out on her reappearance.

Form: 96320-

Northern Grace²⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 48

11/1

Was inconsistent in going off at 50-1 or bigger in all five of her starts as a juvenile, when not giving supporters much encouragement. 6lb drop should help, but whether she can get competitive remains for her to prove.

Form: 08869-

(8)

Just Call Me Ella²⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 45

25/1

The best of her three juvenile starts came on debut over C&D (good) last September, but that's not saying much. Certainly on a very workable mark now entering handicaps, but would only be of interest if market vibes are strong.

Form: 799-

(4)

Mrs Tiffen^h⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

150/1

Has shown very little and finished last in all three starts so far. Future mark set to drop 10lb from today's and is already out of the handicap. Can only watch.

Form: 67-9

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 10p in the pound

Forecasts

El Jefe (5/2), Aiden's Reward (11/4), Bankawi (3/1), Jorgie (4/1), William Alexander (8/1), Susie Javea (10/1), Northern Grace (11/1), Carriage Clock (12/1), She's A Belter (18/1), Just Call Me Ella (25/1), Mrs Tiffen (150/1)

A weak contest where caution is advised. Aiden's Reward is perhaps the most obvious choice given what he has shown and he may be up to the task, but the tentative suggestion is JORGIE, who might just be able to find more now entering handicaps. El Jefe, Susie Javea and Carriage Clock can all have some sort of case made.
