Lydiate Lady¹⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 61| D

16/1

Nine-time winner over sprint trips; most recent of those in November last year on her final start for Eric Alston at Nottingham (5f, heavy). Ran poorly first-time up for this new stable on Fibresand after four months off, would have to bounce back.

Form: 22051-7

Undercover Brother³⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 60| D

22/1

Offered little on his only 2019 start, never looking likely to get involved over 5f at Nottingham (finished last). Successful twice over 5f for his two previous yards (both time on quick ground), work to do on first run for new yard.

Form: 19008/0-

Dahik^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58| D

13/2

Has a rather uneven profile with his win in first-time blinkers at Redcar (6f, good/firm) 2019's standout effort (did well to win having set a strong pace). Failed to follow up that win, well beaten on return to action last time after six-months off.

Form: 51000-0

Astrophysics^p²²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 58| CD

14/1

C&D winner four years ago on quick ground he's only mustered two wins since from numerous efforts. Took advantage of a drop into 0-55 company to score last September at Musselburgh (5f, good/soft), one fair run since, absence to overcome.

Form: 841836-

Atyaaf²⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 56| CD

5/1

Recorded his first turf win over C&D last August (ran well on his previous visit) one of two wins in 2019 at 5f. Only seen once after his most recent success, once again over C&D (didn't get the run of the race), never run off an absence this long.

Form: 520517-

Arnold²²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: A Elliott| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 56| CD

12/1

Fell to a dangerous mark during 2019 without being able to take advantage; ran well when last seen in 2019 on the AW over tis trip. Placed when fresh he's generally better with an outing under his belt, does look well treated for a dual C&D winner.

Form: 048073-

Qaaraat^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55| D

9/2

Crept down below his last winning mark but is on a rather long losing sequence despite hitting the frame on six occasions in 2020. Ran respectably when third at Lingfield recently back from three-months off over 6f, maybe more at home back at 5f.

Form: 235753

Gupta^p1¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: D H Brown| OR: 54| BF

12/1

Yet to win a race; fairly modest AW form to his name, made only a rather limited impression earlier in the year at Southwell twice over 5f. Well backed on the last occasion, finished well held, cheekpieces now slipped on (first-time), hard to enthuse

Form: 0808-48

(11)

Montalvan¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 54

16/1

Delivered a rather mixed bag throughout 2019 with just one Ripon win to show for his efforts (6f, good/firm), form rather tailing after that success. Well below form in both starts this year on the AW; return to turf needs to bring about a revival.

Form: 7466-00

(8)

Northern Queen⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: B Ellison| OR: 52

13/2

Offered little prior to being switched to handicaps in sprint minor/maiden events; has continued below form in two AW handicaps this year. Returns from an absence with very little to recommend her even in this modest grade.

Form: 64-597

(2)

Hello Girl¹⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 49| D

6/1

Modest handicapper for the most part who produced her best effort for some time when winning at Lingfield (6f, good/firm) last June (well backed). Failed to build on that victory in 2019, two AW runs earlier in the year were below-par, best watched.

Form: 1655-79

(6)

High Anxiety⁴²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: A Crook| OR: 45

125/1

Poor handicapper, only managed to place once in 12 starts with no improvement shown in her form for the change of stable prior to 2019. Five starts for this stable have done nothing to dispel the theory that she will do well to win a race.

Form: 3/06680-

Forecasts

Qaaraat (9/2), Atyaaf (5/1), Hello Girl (6/1), Northern Queen (13/2), Dahik (13/2), Arnold (12/1), Gupta (12/1), Astrophysics (14/1), Montalvan (16/1), Lydiate Lady (16/1), Undercover Brother (22/1), High Anxiety (125/1)

An unappealing medium for an investment with very few of these having a sound profile. QAARAAT at least has fitness on his side having run at Lingfield recently in a field of exposed handicappers. Third there he travelled as well as anything for a long way and the switch back to the minimum trip looks in his favour although the draw could have been a little kinder. Dahik with the benefit of stall 1 may come alive while dual C&D winner Arnold could be a danger despite his wide draw. Atyaaf is the other one of interest he’s run well here on three occasions now winning once and he’s interesting if fully wound up off a break.
