(9)

Little Floozie⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 49

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, second of 7 in handicap at Leicester (5f, firm) 58 days ago. Unexposed and makes more appeal than most.

Form: 90-72

(3)

Toolmaker¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: D Flood| OR: 35

80/1

No form of worth, including in low-grade handicaps. Significantly down in trip.

Form: 690-90

Forecasts

Illustrious Spirit (3/1), George Thomas (9/2), Mercers (5/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (6/1), Little Floozie (6/1), Lady Florence (17/2), Baileys Freedom (14/1), Edge Of The Bay (16/1), Impart (22/1), Toolmaker (80/1)

MERCERS already has 3 C&D wins to her name and a reproduction of the form she showed when second back here last time may be good enough to see her add to her tally. Little Floozie was runner-up on her handicap debut and an unexposed profile provides her with the scope to build on that. Sunday's Wolverhampton fourth George Thomas also makes the shortlist.
