Album^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: L Carter| OR: 73| C

28/1

Off the mark on deep ground here (6f) in October and registered a quickfire AW double at the start of the year. However, ran poorly on debut for new yard last week.

Form: 7-11250

Stake Acclaim^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 73| CD

5/2

Built on previous run when taking 7-runner handicap over C&D (good, 9/4) 14 days ago by short head from Firenze Rosa. Just 1 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 696541

Show Me A Sunset^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72| D

9/2

Off the mark at Chelmsford City (5f) in January and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when second at same course (6f) 19 days ago. Warrants respect on turf debut.

Kath's Lustre^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: R Hughes| OR: 69| D

12/1

Made winning return at Chelmsford City last month and far from disgraced when third in follow-up bid at Lingfield (5f, AW) since. Yet to really prove herself on turf, though.

Form: 2453-13

Twilighting²¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 60

6/1

Won 2 of her 3 starts last term but is yet to prove her effectiveness on turf and may find this trip on the sharp side.

Form: 214/151-

(7)

Firenze Rosa⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 56| D

6/1

Not the most consistent and followed her fine reappearance with a disappointing effort at Bath last week.

Form: 8787-20

(10)

Shani^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 47| D

22/1

On a lengthy losing run and hard to enthuse about her claims from 9 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 27-9575

Forecasts

Stake Acclaim (5/2), The Daley Express (10/3), Show Me A Sunset (9/2), Firenze Rosa (6/1), Twilighting (6/1), Equally Fast (7/1), Kath's Lustre (12/1), Secretfact (14/1), Shani (22/1), Album (28/1)

Preference is for THE DALEY EXPRESS, who is back on his last winning mark and posted his best effort this year at Nottingham last week. Stake Acclaim and Show Me A Sunset are feared most.
