Nine Tales⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: E J Walsh| T: R Varian

7/4

€400,000 yearling by Kingman who made a promising start when runner-up on debut in November. Didn't need to improve to make a winning reappearance at Haydock 8 days ago so remains with potential.

Form: 2-1

(9)

Micks Dream²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R A Teal

11/2

Adaay colt who hails from quite a good sprinting family and belied his position in the market when second of 14 in minor event over C&D on debut. Below that effort a month later so must bounce back.

Form: 25

(8)

Oriental Spirit²⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: W S Kittow

7/1

Swiss Spirit colt who seemed to know his job when sixth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) on debut 9 months ago. Gelded since and improvement required to be involved here.

Form: 6-

(6)

Prop Forward

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

11/4

75,000 gns foal, Iffraaj colt. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner She Looks Like Fun. Dam 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Interesting newcomer.

Form:

(3)

Strike

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: J G PortmanWS

50/1

Lethal Force gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Bridge Night and 6f-7f winner Ivadream.

Form:

(4)

Anasadontia^h1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson

80/1

Lope De Vega filly who has offered little in maiden/minor event so far, seemingly still in need of the experience. Hood goes on but easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 85

(7)

Bluebird Day¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

13/2

Twice-raced maiden. Improved switched to softer ground after 11 weeks off when second of 12 in minor event (9/1) at this course (7f, soft) 13 days ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 72

(5)

Ellie Piper⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland

14/1

Once-raced maiden. Never dangerous when seventh of 12 in minor event (80/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 49 days ago.

Form: 7

(10)

Pollinate¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: H Candy

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to soft, 33/1) 16 days ago, folding tamely. A sizeable step forward is needed if she's to figure.

Form: 09

Clownsman¹³

Forecasts

Nine Tales (7/4), Prop Forward (11/4), Micks Dream (11/2), Bluebird Day (13/2), Oriental Spirit (7/1), Ellie Piper (14/1), Clownsman (33/1), Strike (50/1), Anasadontia (80/1), Pollinate (125/1)

NINE TALES didn't need to improve from his debut effort to get off the mark on reappearance at Haydock last week, still seeming rough around the edges but just doing enough to hold on. He's bred to be smart so gets the vote to double his tally here with improvement on the cards. Micks Dream heads the dangers if he can reproduce his debut second over C&D, ahead of Bluebird Day.
