Reims²⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 64

18/1

Seasonal return for a new yard (previously with William Haggas) having run well below his debut form twice for that yard last year (all runs on AW). Steps into handicaps for the first time stepping back in trip, not let in lightly.

Form: 345-

(6)

Magnificia²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65

25/1

Well held last time out dropped to 6f at Lingfield/AW reportedly lost her action, eased in the final stages. Placed once in six start over 7f on turf, can be slow away, would need to bounce back to get involved.

Form: 028-559

(13)

Habanero Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65

14/1

Did too much too soon last time out at Catterick over 7f, so far failed to match her debut effort ay Yarmouth over 1m. Steps into handicaps for the first time, a discipline that may well suit her better, tries 6f for the first time.

Form: 348

(9)

Far From A Ruby¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 65

4/1

Failed to confirm some previous promise at Sandown last time over 7f (raced too freely). Now steps onto AW for the first time making handicap debut back to 6f (trip should suit far better), needs to be able to cope with a wide draw.

Form: 745

One Above²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 64

8/1

Struggling to improve with racing having raced at up to 1m looking rather awkward under pressure last time over 7f at Yarmouth. Form on the whole looks modest as she steps into handicaps for her first try in this sphere, draw hardly helpful.

Form: 038

(7)

Spring Campaign¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Megan Nicholls| T: M L W Bell| OR: 64

7/1

Quickly switched to handicaps after just two starts have shown promise last time reappearing after a year off. Not given a hard time (finished fourth) at Yarmouth (6f), open to further progress, one of the more interesting types.

Form: 6-4

(11)

Kaafy^b³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 59| BF

13/8

Holding his form well, disqualified from a sound third at Catterick (6f) earlier in the week, failed to carry the correct weight (3lb light). Deserves to win a race (second run back from a wind op) having recorded plenty of other sound efforts.

Form: 0-6433D

(2)

Mums The Law^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 62

50/1

Too free in first-time blinkers for his handicap debut after an eight-month layoff at Newmarket over 1m she's quickly returned to sprint trips. Modest form prior to that in minor events at up to 1m, hard to find more promise so far in her races.

Form: 850-9

(1)

Harbour Point^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

14/1

Took a step forward in form terms on handicap debut at Windsor (6.1f) off a 1lb lower mark having briefly looked have got away from the field. Failed to show anything like the same enthusiasm since, can be excused last time (saddle slipped).

Form: 442506

(8)

Pretty Lady¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 61

8/1

One of the lesser lights from a leading stable, starts so far all unplaced although she gave a hint last time that she may be capable of better. Steps up to 6f for the first time this year, ought to have more to offer off this sort of mark.

Form: 5555-95

(10)

Inverarity⁵¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Keelan Baker⁽⁷⁾| T: Frank Bishop| OR: 49

150/1

Well behind in three AW sprint events in early 2019 with the most recent being over C&D. Returns from a significant absence against some race fit types with plenty to prove stepping into handicaps for the first time, hard to make a case.

Form: 767-

(3)

Dendermonde²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: A Carson| OR: 46

100/1

Unplaced in all three starts so far as a 3yo (didn't run as a 2yo) having started triple-figure prices in all of those races. Finished well held each and every time not really holding out much promise now that she goes into handicaps.

Form: 080

Krishmaya³³¹

Weight: 8-6| Age: 3

T: A West J: Thore Hammer-Hansen

Forecasts

Kaafy (13/8), Far From A Ruby (4/1), Spring Campaign (7/1), Pretty Lady (8/1), One Above (8/1), Harbour Point (14/1), Habanero Star (14/1), Reims (18/1), Magnificia (25/1), Mums The Law (50/1), Krishmaya (50/1), Dendermonde (100/1), Inverarity (150/1)

A low-key start to a fairly workmanlike card with no real progressive types lurking in this maiden handicap. Kaafy deserves to be respected after his good third at Catterick earlier in the week albeit one where failed to run with the correct weight while Pretty Lady could well be a little better than her mark. SPRING CAMPAIGN is quickly taken handicapping by connections and that could prove significant having shown some promise on both her starts with a mark of 64 not looking too onerous. One Above has a tricky draw but could find some progress in this sphere along with Far From A Ruby.
