(2)

Joyfilly³⁹

13/2

Promising sort. Fourth of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 39 days ago, needing stiffer test. May well do better and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 8584-

(3)

80/1

Form: 97/8745-

(9)

(5)

Sea Willow^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Danny Brock| T: H Spiller| OR: 46

12/1

Modest filly. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (80/1) at this C&D 37 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 748473-

Forecasts

Zayriyan (5/2), Recall It All (10/3), Brute Force (4/1), Joyfilly (13/2), Brass Clankers (9/1), Sea Willow (12/1), New Look (20/1), Saigon Suzi (20/1), Irish Master (40/1), Mazekine (80/1), Bo Taifan (125/1)

There were positives to glean from JOYFILLY's handicap debut effort over 8.6f at Wolverhampton and, with this step up in trip likely to help unlock some improvement, she may well be the answer to this low-grade contest. Zayriyan is 0-35 overall (Flat and hurdles), but his form is easily among the best on offer and he is feared most. Recall It All is another to consider.
