6/5

5/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 7 days ago, impressively. Has looked an improved model since the headgear was fitted and definite player under a penalty.

Admirable Lad^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 55| CD

Miss Prancealot²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 55

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving John McConnell when fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f) 20 days ago, merely closing up late. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping.

Form: 905

Twice Adaay²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 55

7/1

Last of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, always behind. Again goes without a tongue tie but best efforts have come on artificial surfaces so bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 2-75240

9/1

Good second of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 18/1) 34 days ago, best work finish. Step back up in trip worth exploring on that evidence.

Forecasts

Fircombe Hall (6/5), Morty (4/1), Admirable Lad (9/2), Secret To Success (11/2), Twice Adaay (7/1), Nacho (9/1), Rose All Day (10/1), Upside Down (14/1), Miss Prancealot (16/1), Fille d'Or (33/1), Stamford Bridge (33/1), Uptoon Girl (50/1), Sparkling Perry (50/1)

FIRCOMBE HALL has looked an improved model since being fitted with cheekpieces, resuming winning ways in impressive fashion at Carlisle 7 days ago. He gets the nod to follow up under a penalty, with fellow last-time-out winner and low-mileage Morty heading the dangers. Secret To Success and Rose All Day complete the shortlist.
