Cinzento^p,h²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke| T: R A Teal| OR: 48| CD

11/4

Landed this contest 12 months ago and posted creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 27 days ago. Has proved unreliable but holds good claims at these weights.

Form: 470965-

Hannalite⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 44

3/1

In good form until only eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 9 days ago. No surprise if this maiden bounced back to form here.

Form: 57323-8

Miss Pollyanna^h⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Crehan| T: R Ingram| OR: 44

9/2

Remains a maiden after 26 runs, but she posted creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 9 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 03464-6

Teemlucky^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Ian Williams| OR: 42

11/2

Still to register a victory, but tongue strap on for 1st time when respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 24 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 339594-

Tilsworth Lukey^v⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 44| C

20/1

Temperamental sort who is now thirty two runs since his sole win in 2018. Only eighth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW, 100/1) 9 days ago, so others are preferred.

Form: 54064-8

Blue Galaxy^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 41

12/1

Poor gelding who beat only one in maiden at Southwell (11.1f) 34 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 797P99-

(4)

Smart Qibili^h⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 49

6/1

Winless after 17 runs, and he came in last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 6 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 0500-46

Forecasts

Cinzento (11/4), Hannalite (3/1), Miss Pollyanna (9/2), Teemlucky (11/2), Smart Qibili (6/1), Blue Galaxy (12/1), Tilsworth Lukey (20/1)

CINZENTO took this event 12 months ago and rates the pick at these weights too so gets the nod in a race where most have major question marks against them. Hannalite saw her run of good form come to an end when only eighth at Lingfield last week but can't be ruled out here with Teemlucky another maiden who warrants respect after her solid Wolverhampton fourth.
