Latest win here in January. Fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 4/1) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back in trip and remains in form, can go well again.

13/2

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (11/1) 24 days ago, keeping on well. Unexposed over this trip and can give another good account.

Form: 1960-01

16/5

Winner at Wolverhampton in January. 9/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 8 days ago, soon clear and headed only well inside final 1f. Interesting tackling 5f for first time.

14/1

Good 2¼ lengths third of 8 to Iesha in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 24 days ago. 2 lb lower and not without a chance.

15/2

Maiden. 13/2, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Return to 5f in her favour but others more persuasive.

Form: 5054-45

(2)

Bluella¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 45| CD

18/1

Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 15 days ago. Has work to do.

Forecasts

Brazen Arrow (16/5), Toptime (4/1), Miss Seafire (6/1), Iesha (13/2), Cool Spirit (7/1), Mrs Bagerran (15/2), Brandy Station (14/1), Gorgeous General (14/1), Bluella (18/1)

The in-form BRAZEN ARROW has shown bags of speed the last twice and could be worth backing on his first crack over 5f. Cool Spirit, Iesha and Toptime have compelling claims also though in a competitive heat.
