Visibility⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jonathan Fisher| T: S Dixon| OR: 72

11/1

Kept busy on all-weather since the turn of the year, doubling career tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. Not disgraced ether start since but needs to confirm himself as effective on turf.

Form: 544164

Koola Buala³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Angus Villiers| T: George Scott| OR: 72

16/1

Consistent maiden in Ireland for J. A. Stack and possible she was in need of first start for 4 months/yard debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. Not dismissed out of hand.

Form: 43254-6

(10)

Leroy Leroy¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 70| C

7/2

Disappointed on Flat last year but perked up by a switch to hurdling, winning twice last summer. Disappointed at Cheltenham in November and back from a break now.

Form: 747/488-

Dirty Dancer²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tyler Saunders| T: A M Hales| OR: 70

50/1

Lightly-raced filly who possibly needed first start for 10 months/yard debut when seventh of 12 in a Lingfield maiden (10f) 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 425/9-7

(2)

Mutamaded¹³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69| D

7/1

Infrequent winner nowadays who ended last season out of sorts despite a sliding mark, in rear and never a threat at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in November.

Form: 864080-

(13)

Selecto¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 68| BF

10/1

Fair maiden for Roger Charlton, best effort when runner-up at Leicester (10f) in October. Below best at Yarmouth later that month but he's on a handy mark on a workable mark on debut for new yard.

Form: 673929-

(4)

Finally Mine¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 68

7/1

Definite promise in handful of starts as a juvenile and shaped as if she would come on for the run when eighth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) earlier this month. Mark looks workable.

Form: 6229-8

(14)

Lady Ironside^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 67

15/2

Fair maiden in Ireland for W. McCreery who looked rusty on the back of 3 months off when midfield in a 13f Lingfield handicap earlier this month. In good hands and type to come forward from that.

Form: 74430-6

Whatwouldyouknow⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 66| D

20/1

Gained dew reward for consistency when successful at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December. More miss than hit since and he returns for new yard above last winning mark on turf.

Form: 23178-7

(7)

Engles Rock¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 64

28/1

Ran well from easing mark at Musselburgh (1m) in September but not in same form either start thereafter. Others more convincing on return to action.

Form: 557205-

(5)

Be Fair²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Elisha Whittington| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63

11/1

All 3 victories gained at 12f on AW and not disgraced when beaten just under 3 lengths when eighth of 13 at Kempton (12f) 24 days ago. Mark has eased a little more.

Form: 165-868

(15)

Confils²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: George Baker| OR: 62| D

25/1

Progressive from a low base in handicaps during 2019, winning twice at around 10f. Last year's exploits had to go down as disappointing and the betting may prove a useful guide on return to action.

Form: 21/0569-

(8)

Country'n'western¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Molly Presland⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 58| D

20/1

Successful from a 2 lb higher mark at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) back in 2019 and went close on a number of occasions last summer. No threat on Southwell return 3 weeks ago but he should be sharper now

Form: 42605-5

(1)

Le Bayou^b³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carver| T: J L Eyre| OR: 56

17/2

Maiden who never threatened in handful of starts upon joining this yard last summer. Fallen plenty in weights and halted the slide when midfield at Southwell (1m) last month. Not entirely ruled out.

Form: 95000-6

Forecasts

Leroy Leroy (7/2), Vanity Affair (4/1), Finally Mine (7/1), Mutamaded (7/1), Lady Ironside (15/2), Le Bayou (17/2), Selecto (10/1), Be Fair (11/1), Visibility (11/1), Koola Buala (16/1), Whatwouldyouknow (20/1), Country'n'western (20/1), Confils (25/1), Engles Rock (28/1), Dirty Dancer (50/1)

KOOLA BUALA was consistent in maidens in Ireland and it's possible she needed her first start for 4 months on yard debut at Wolverhampton in February. George Scott's filly appeals as being on a workable mark on balance and could be worth siding with to build on that effort. Lady Ironside, Selecto and Finally Mine are others to consider.
