Fricka^b1¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Carson| OR: 102| C

11/1

Well backed here 12 days ago but held and continues out of sorts. Down another 5 lb and also in grade/trip. On a very good mark for when it does fall into place again. Blinkers go on.

Form: 47896-9

Table Mountain^p³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 105| DWS

10/3

Fairly useful winning stayer on Flat. Has shown a bit over hurdles and sights were aimed rather high for handicap debut in Grade 3 at Cheltenham last month. Interesting after wind op.

Lady Reset^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 97

22/1

Fairly useful winner on the Flat and has shown bits over hurdles, though ran poorly on recent return at Worcester. Tongue tie back on.

Form: 45727-7

Treaty Of Dingle²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: S Curran| OR: 101

16/1

Just modest on the level these days and needs to improve now handicapping in this sphere off a mark of 101.

Form: 332-

Persuer³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 95

16/1

Fair middle-distance maiden on Flat for David Simcock in 2019. Showed a bit more over hurdles on handicap debut in this sphere at Stratford but it wasn't much of a race.

Form: F8642-

Topkapi Star^h¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 98| D

18/1

Didn't go on from her opening success over hurdles at Uttoxeter last summer, well held on handicap debut when last seen, and more needed on return.

Form: 1450-

Karannelle^h,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 92| D

4/1

Won 2m Cork maiden hurdle in August 2019. Best effort since for this yard when second at Newton Abbot 13 days ago, going with plenty of zest in front and running into one. Big chance if in same mood.

Form: PF0/PP-2

Shabba Dada Do^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 87

16/1

Still seeking a first win but took a minor step back in the right direction under this rider at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Suspect she can pick up a race.

Form: 7/9505-3

Fancy Shapes³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 87WS

15/2

Shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off at Warwick and there is a race like this in her. Has had a wind op.

Form: 380/376-

Forecasts

Table Mountain (10/3), Karannelle (4/1), Kimberley (4/1), Fancy Shapes (15/2), Infiniti (15/2), Fricka (11/1), Malina Ocarina (12/1), Treaty Of Dingle (16/1), Shabba Dada Do (16/1), Persuer (16/1), Topkapi Star (18/1), Lady Reset (22/1)

TABLE MOUNTAIN takes a significant drop in class having contested a Cheltenham Grade 3 for her handicap debut in this sphere last month. Fairly useful on the level, she could go well after a wind op. Karannelle ran a screamer at Newton Abbot, going with plenty of zest and unlucky to run into a well-treated rival. She's the clear danger, ahead of Fancy Shapes.
