Sir Duke^b,t1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 62

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 19 days ago. Seems to be going the wrong way.

Form: 30407-

Liv Lucky¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 61

40/1

40/1, run best excused when tenth of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Down 3 lb so worth a market check.

Form: 424690-

Berkshire Phoenix^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 60

6/1

Unreliable individual. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago, well positioned. Makes tapeta debut. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 67775-2

10/3

Kiritimati Island¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 60

11/10

Promising type. 4/1, shaped very well when second of 14 in nursery at this course (5f) 18 days ago, needing stiffer test. Open to further improvement back up in trip so one for the shortlist.

Form: 8672-

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 57

80/1

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, ninth of 13 in nursery at this course (8.1f) 40 days ago. Down another 3 lb and certainly worth a market check.

10/1

Sandie's Dream¹⁹

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, failed to progress after 6 months off when fourth of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 19 days ago. In good hands so too early to be writing her off.

Lady Ardad²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 54

16/1

Forecasts

Kiritimati Island (11/10), Gidwa (10/3), Berkshire Phoenix (6/1), Thin Lizzy (6/1), Runshaw Lane (10/1), Sandie's Dream (11/1), Lady Ardad (16/1), Sir Duke (25/1), Cozican (28/1), Liv Lucky (40/1), Becoming (50/1), Lady Lou (80/1)

A few in with chances but KIRITIMATI ISLAND shaped very well (stayed on strongly having missed the break) on his handicap debut over 5f here 18 days ago. With this step back up in trip sure to suit, Ivan Furtado's charge can open his account. Berkshire Phoenix hasn't always looked straightforward but he's feared most after his recent second at Kempton, ahead of Gidwa and Becoming.
