Dark Side Dream^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: C Wallis| OR: 57| C| D

6/1

A sort who is usually kept busy and continues to run well, including 1L second at Wolverhampton (5f) last time. Has shown an aptitude for this track previously and not discounted off top weight.

Form: 450-872

(1)

A Place To Dream³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 55

13/2

Still a maiden but remains relatively unexposed. Kept on despite 8L defeat in third at Chelmsford (6f) and eased 2lb for that. Place claims at best at this level.

Form: 23650-3

(7)

Fiery Breath^h²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Eddery| OR: 55| BF| D

3/1

Slightly struggling off higher marks since AW victory at Southwell last term. By no means disgraced when fifth in 6f Windsor handicap last time and given respite since. Notable jockey booking too so on the shortlist.

Form: 4316-55

(10)

Delagate The Lady¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51| D

11/2

Hit a golden run of form recently, winning his last two starts, including 1L victory in 6f Windsor handicap in late June. 3lb rise should be no issue and set to go well once again.

Form: 5-49711

(5)

Independence Day⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 49

4/1

Only registered one win on turf but typically runs for the places, including 3L second at Thirsk (5f) nine days ago. Off the same mark in this so has notable place claims again.

Form: 5426-52

(2)

Dublin Rocker¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: K A Ryan| OR: 54

12/1

Only raced four times to date, with best effort coming on penultimate start. Not as good with 9L defeat at Wolverhampton (7f) just under two weeks ago and more needed off only 1lb lighter mark.

Form: 89-34

(3)

Valley Belle^p,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P S McEntee| OR: 48| D

10/1

Mark has started to tumble lately despite some encouraging runs, and was hampered by a slow start at Wolverhampton (7f) last time. Up 1lb but has run well off this mark before. Some claims.

Form: 257024

(6)

Rinty Maginty¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 47

18/1

Only a modest handicapper when trained in Ireland by Kevin Prendergast and becoming regressive for this yard. Latest 10L tenth in weak 7f handicap at Chelmsford in February demands more in this.

Form: 00-7350

(11)

Manzoni²⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak| OR: 45

20/1

Still a maiden after six starts and not really threatening at handicap company either, including 5L seventh at Wolverhampton (7f) in October. Not seen since and up against it on seasonal return.

Form: 509067-

(8)

The Simple Truth²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J F Egan| T: John Berry| OR: 45

80/1

Three time maiden who has been tailed off in each start to date, including 27L defeat in 7f Chelmsford novice last time. Steps into handicap company for the first time with plenty to prove.

Form: 708-

Forecasts

Fiery Breath (3/1), Independence Day (4/1), Delagate The Lady (11/2), Dark Side Dream (6/1), A Place To Dream (13/2), Q Twenty Boy (7/1), Valley Belle (10/1), Dublin Rocker (12/1), Rinty Maginty (18/1), Manzoni (20/1), The Simple Truth (80/1)

A race which lacks recent winning substance, it may be worth taking a chance for DELEGATE THE LADY to notch a hat-trick wins at this level. She has returned in flying form this season and on current form against windy-looking rivals, that 3lb rise in the handicap should be of no issue in this. Plenty make place appeal, including the likes of Independence Day and Dark Side Dream who race off light enough marks given their previous smart course form, while Fiery Breath looks better on a synthetic surface but showed glimpses at Windsor and has his chance inflated by the striking jockey booking of Andrea Atzeni.
