Seeking Perfection²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 70| D

6/1

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Newcastle in February. Creditable third off this mark on Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/1) handicap debut 20 days ago and claims if she proves equally effective on turf.

Form: 2153

(1)

Three Hat Day²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 69

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/2, first run since leaving David O'Meara when fourth of 8 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good) 29 days ago. Progress likely now that she goes down the handicap route.

Form: 63-4

(7)

Desert Marathon²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 67

5/1

Good second of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 20 days ago, running on. Possibilities off the same mark.

Form: 034-342

(2)

Tiny Danser²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 67

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 20 days ago, no match for winner but pulled nicely clear of the rest. 1 lb lower now and she needs considering.

Form: 47-42

(14)

Big Kitty¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M L W Bell| OR: 67

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f), unable to sustain effort. Off 111 days ahead of this handicap debut and she has work to do.

Form: 2-45

(4)

Enoughisgoodenough¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, eleventh of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (5f). Off 6 months and this filly will need to raise her game in order to make an impact.

Form: 7640-

(12)

Under Wraps^h1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 63

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, first run since leaving John Gosden when tenth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 22 days ago. Hood enlisted for this turf debut.

Form: 75-350

(13)

Driftwood^h1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Nathan Evans| T: S Dixon| OR: 60

22/1

6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. Makes turf debut and, unless the first-time hood sparks some improvement, she may again find one or two too good.

Form: 322226

Strangerontheshore¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, bit below form third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 395-03

(8)

Capla Dream¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 58

14/1

9/1, last of 8 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f), ridden too aggressively. Off 152 days. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke and she'll probably come up short once more.

Form: 325668-

(10)

Velocistar²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 54| D

9/4

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, soft, 18/1) 2 days ago. By no means certain to back that up and, in any case, this is more competitive.

Form: 631-961

Forecasts

Velocistar (9/4), Desert Marathon (5/1), Seeking Perfection (6/1), Annie Rose (6/1), Tiny Danser (8/1), Three Hat Day (9/1), Capla Dream (14/1), Under Wraps (14/1), Big Kitty (14/1), Strangerontheshore (16/1), Liberty Bay (16/1), Enoughisgoodenough (18/1), Bungledupinblue (20/1), Driftwood (22/1), Soberton (50/1)

The ground may well be slower than TINY DANSER has previously encountered, but the same can be said for a good number of her rivals. Kevin Ryan's charge chased home a stable companion who was clearly well ahead of his mark at Pontefract recently, in turn pulling clear of the rest, and she gets the nod. Likely-improver Three Hat Day and Seeking Perfection rate the main dangers.
