5/4

Career best when readily winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 7 days ago, Up 4 lb but expected to be bang there in her hat-trick bid.

Twenty six runs since last win in 2018, and only eleventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back now.

Mykindofsunshine^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁷⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 52

10/1

Remains a maiden after 17 runs, and cheekpieces tried when only ninth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Serious questions to answer now.

16/1

11/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 19 days ago. Needs bit more though if she's to open her account at the ninth attempt.

Sweet Talked^h1²²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 49

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, creditable fourth of 10 in 5f Southwell novice when last seen out 7 months ago. Hood on for handicap debut but others appeal more.

Dubai Paradise¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: J Butler| OR: 47

13/2

Still a maiden, but posted good seventh of 12 in 6f handicap here 14 days ago, fading only last 1f having raced freely. Worth considering dropped 2 lb and back at 5f now.

Alqaab^h¹⁴

17/2

Yet to strike top form in three runs this season, only tenth of 12 in handicap (22/1) here (6f) 14 days ago. Lot more needed if she's to gain his first win.

Form: 399-640

Sassy Lassy^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 45

200/1

Little show for David Loughnane as juvenile but (tongue strap on) good fourth of 11 in 5f Wolverhampton novice 19 days ago. Another step forward needed here though for new yard.

Form: 77800-4

66/1

It's now eighteen runs since last win in 2018, and only tenth of 12 in 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 9 months ago on final run for Brian Baugh. Cheekpieces back on with lots to prove for new handler.

Dollywaggon Pike³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

40/1

Poor maiden who arrives out of sorts, eighth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 9/30-508

Forecasts

Smokey (5/4), Dubai Paradise (13/2), Leo Minor (7/1), Alqaab (17/2), Captain Ryan (9/1), Mykindofsunshine (10/1), Sweet Talked (12/1), Edge Of The Bay (16/1), Dollywaggon Pike (40/1), Liscahann (40/1), North Korea (66/1), Sassy Lassy (200/1)

SMOKEY arrives firmly on the up so she is hard to side against in her bid for a quick hat-trick, despite being hit with a further 4 lb rise in the weights. Dubai Paradise has given the strong impression this drop back to the minimum trip will suit so she rates the biggest threat, although in-form Captain Ryan is also sure to be on the premises.
