Embolden^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62

12/1

Regained winning thread in a Redcar seller (1m, heavy) in November for Luke McJannet. Ended time with that yard below form and not looked straightforward either start for new yard. Others preferred.

Form: 100-654

(3)

Loch Ness Monster^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

7/1

Fair gelding. 14/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Cheekpieces back on/down in grade but others make greater appeal.

Form: 854296

Lockdown Dream^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| D

12/1

Caused a shock when winning at Beverley (10f) last August and backed that up with pair of in-the-frame efforts thereafter. Nearer last than first in 2 starts this term, however. Visor again fitted.

Yukon¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66

2/1

Fair gelding. 4/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f) 17 days ago, the headgear not having desired effect. Visor left off now and 1¼m well worth exploring.

Form: 530-837

Cafe Espresso^b⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: C Banham| OR: 60| D

17/2

Fair mare. 40/1, solid return from 15 months off when third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 52 days ago. Now her task is to build on that.

Form: 6070/9-3

Koola Buala^b1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 66

15/2

Consistent maiden in Ireland who ran best race for present stable when midfield in a Doncaster handicap (10.2f) in March. Not in same form at Windsor since but not discounted down in grade. Blinkered.

Form: 254-680

(1)

Lady Reset^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D Pipe| OR: 70| D

9/4

Dual Flat winner (at up to 10f) for David Evans. Winless for present stable but she arrives having run well when close-up fifth over hurdles at Huntingdon recently. Possibilities back on Flat.

Form: 114/276-

Forecasts

Yukon (2/1), Lady Reset (9/4), Loch Ness Monster (7/1), Koola Buala (15/2), Cafe Espresso (17/2), Embolden (12/1), Lockdown Dream (12/1)

LADY RESET is winless for her present stable but she arrives on the back of a creditable effort over hurdles at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago and, with sound claims on these terms back on the Flat, she earns the vote. Yukon, upped to 1¼m, and Koola Buala are a couple of others to consider.
