Elakazaam^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: K R Burke| OR: 76| D

14/1

10/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 71-2546

Military Man²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 76| BF

15/8

Gradual progress in 3 starts last term and reappearance third in a Yarmouth handicap (1m, good to firm) was also encouraging. Remains with potential.

Form: 563-3

(4)

Trevolli²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: P A Kirby| OR: 74| D

3/1

Off the mark when taking 8-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 26 days ago. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and must enter calculations.

Form: 44-2821

(6)

Tommy Tittlemouse^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 73

5/1

Has slipped in the weights and run creditably in cheekpieces on his last 3 outings. Each-way claims.

Form: 0-48243

(2)

Retrouvailles^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 72

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 10 in minor event (16/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes limited appeal on handicap debut.

Form: 7724

(9)

It Just Takes Time^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68| C

8/1

Course winner (5f) in December. Fourth of 6 in handicap (50/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time. Work to do.

Form: 61-2504

(3)

Mabdaa²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 68| D

10/1

Posted career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 23 days ago. Just 3 lb higher now and merits consideration.

Form: 464341

(5)

Shaykhoon¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 63

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 14 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 3603-5

(10)

Johnny Estella^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 62

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 14 days ago, possibly amiss. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 83-729

Forecasts

Military Man (15/8), Trevolli (3/1), Tommy Tittlemouse (5/1), Royal Advice (7/1), It Just Takes Time (8/1), Mabdaa (10/1), Elakazaam (14/1), Johnny Estella (20/1), Shaykhoon (22/1), Retrouvailles (22/1)

Preference is for MABDAA, who took his form up a notch when scoring at Redcar earlier this month and still looks on a decent mark. Military Man and Trevolli are feared most.
