Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Katie O'Farrell| T: J L Spearing| OR: 84

15/8

Maiden hurdler who ran one of his better races when fifth at Stratford in cheekpieces (retained) in March. Each-way claims if showing up in similar form.

Form: 85P/705-

2/1

Been out of sorts for a while now, including well held at Worcester only 13 days ago. Mark continues to fall but would need to see market support to seriously consider.

Form: 0/7UP8-9

Dee Lane^t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: G Hanmer| OR: 74

9/1

No impact in bumpers/hurdles but will at least stand more chance now handicapping from a basement mark.

Form: 468/9PF-

Missesgeejay^p¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 72

7/2

Remains a maiden after 25 starts but recent Uttoxeter third shows some ability still remains. Perhaps no good thing to build on it, though.

Form: 2/RP80-3

Forecasts

Phoebus Lescribaa (6/4), Pillar Of Steel (15/8), Ofcourseiwill (2/1), Missesgeejay (7/2), Glorious Dane (5/1), Flight To Nowhere (8/1), Dee Lane (9/1), Oxford Blu (11/1)

PHOEBUS LESCRIBAA hasn't always impressed with his attitude but he did nothing wrong when a close second at Southwell last time and can go one better if showing up in similar form. Pillar of Steel is a possible threat, while Glorious Dane has dropped 15 lb since his handicap debut and is worth keeping an eye on in the market.
