Behind Nobby Nuts when fifth over C&D on first run back from three months off. Is vulnerable to less exposed sorts, and mark looks stiff enough for what he has achieved. Place claims at best.

Represented herself well in all three starts in novice/maiden company (two of those came over 7f at this track). Now switches to handicaps, and on what she has show in short career so far she should be very competitive.

0-7 but benefitted for the step up to 1m at Bath (1m; good to firm) when third to the in-form Motamayiz who has since franked the form. Unchanged mark, & if he runs to that level he should be involved despite not being open to masses of improvement.

Dropped 3lb after posting a meagre effort on seasonal debut when down the field at Beverley (1m; good) last month. Will need to have improved quite considerably as this looks another competitive assignment. Others look more reliable.

Starting to run out of patience with him, but no denying he has shown promise in trio of handicap efforts. Entitled to progress from first run in seven months. Returns to track with yard in red hot form in last couple of weeks (4-16; 25%).

Made promising start to life in handicaps when third over C&D last week. Remains unexposed off same mark and despite the form of the yard being a worry, he should have a prominent role to play if in the same form.

Step up in trip needs to work the trick after she was never involved on her handicap debut at Doncaster last month. Cheekpieces also go on for the first time and yard among the winners in last 14 days (6-36; 17% strike-rate). Claims.

Handicap newcomer who has gone backwards since highly promising debut run. Needs to take a significant step forward from low-key reappearance effort, but surprise if she was not capable of at least running into a place now tackling handicaps.

Pulled his chance away early on when failing to stay on first attempt at 1m4f. Effort prior to that when stepped up to 1m for the first time offered some promise but he would need to step up on the bare form of that race.

Forecasts

Striding Edge (11/4), Nobby Nuts (11/4), Gweedore (9/2), Ventura Rascal (9/2), Captain Corelli (7/1), Hua Mulan (7/1), Bad Rabbit (14/1), Easy Desire (16/1), Puerto Sol (25/1), Ebony Legend (40/1)

Verdict

A typically competitive three-year-old handicap which may go the way of HUA MULAN who has her first start in this sphere on her return from a 259-day break. The selection ran well on two occasions at this track, before posting a slightly lesser effort. This is a slightly weaker assignment than any of those contests, and so she can make a winning handicap debut. Ventura Rascal is greatly feared given he posted a career-best when third recently, and is open to more improvement tacking this trip for the first time. He is vulnerable to improvers but Striding Edge benefitted for the step up in trip last time and holds place claims once more as does Captain Corelli.
  1. Hua Mulan
  2. Ventura Rascal
  3. Striding Edge
