Deevious Beau¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron| OR: 53

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1 and blinkered for 1st time, never a threat when sixth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 885/86-

(3)

Red Stripes^b⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 51| D

12/1

Three wins from 31 runs last year. 14/1, ran better than for a while when second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 5 days ago, doing well considering he raced towards near side. Shortlist material.

Form: 84557-2

(7)

Angel Eyes¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Riches| OR: 45

100/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Seventh of 8 in minor event (80/1) at this C&D on Tuesday. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 5767-87

Forecasts

Super Julius (5/2), Jumira Bridge (3/1), We're Reunited (11/2), Arzaak (13/2), Red Stripes (12/1), Comeatchoo (14/1), Scale Force (14/1), Deevious Beau (14/1), Secret Potion (33/1), Angel Eyes (100/1)

RED STRIPES hasn't won for a long time, but his recent runner-up effort at Southwell suggested that his turn may be forthcoming and he's taken to get the head in front dropped 2 lb. Jumira Bridge finished with a flourish at Newcastle last week and looks sure to be in the mix again, with Super Julius another threat after a couple of solid placed efforts for his new trainer.
