Lubna^p1¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Dane O'Neill| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 70

13/8

Lightly-raced winner. 5/6, career best when winning 5-runner maiden at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, easily. No surprise to see her out under a penalty and sound claims on handicap debut.

Form: 9-541

Go Well Spicy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 67| C| D

40/1

Fair filly who was a big price when making an inauspicious start for this stable at Redcar a fortnight ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 52280-9

(8)

Hostelry¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60

11/2

Still to get her head in front and failed to fire at Thirsk 17 days ago, albeit not helped by a wide trip. Dropped in the weights again, so not completely out of it.

Form: 76-3547

(9)

Mammasaidknockuout¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 65

5/1

On a fair mark and looked on the way back when third at Newbury 10 days ago. Should be in the mix if she can build on that.

Form: 13-9863

(10)

Jianzi¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 62

11/2

Fair form last year but needs to but a couple of sub-par efforts this term behind her if she's to make a serious impact in this.

Form: 5178-64

(3)

Girl From Ipanema^h1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 60

14/1

Has shown a glimmer of encouragement on each of his three runs to date, too free when only seventh in a Newbury novice 22 days ago. More to come down in trip with hood applied for handicap debut.

Form: 89-7

(7)

Libby Ami¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 57| D

4/1

Modest winner who was back on track when second at Redcar 14 days ago, comfortably on top of the remainder. That form is working out, so she warrants strong consideration.

Form: 7617-82

(6)

Carribean Queen²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: R Ffrench| T: P T Midgley| OR: 52

66/1

Related to winners but has looked limited so far, so set for another struggle.

Form: 047-0

Forecasts

Lubna (13/8), Libby Ami (4/1), Eponina (4/1), Mammasaidknockuout (5/1), Hostelry (11/2), Jianzi (11/2), Forbidden Beauty (8/1), Girl From Ipanema (14/1), Go Well Spicy (40/1), Carribean Queen (66/1)

LUBNA bolted up in a maiden at Brighton 10 days ago and is officially well-in switched to handicaps with cheekpieces applied, so she's an obvious choice. Eponina is right at the top of her game and should give another good account, while Libby Ami was beaten only by a big improver at Redcar last time, so she can't be discounted.
