Useful gelding. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (3/1) at this C&D 64 days ago, readily. Needs another improved showing if he's to land this.

Form: 70155-1

(3)

Fauvette²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 86| D

66/1

Useful mare. Three wins from 7 runs last year. 5/1, won 6-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 23 days ago, driven out. This is a whole lot tougher.

9/1

Useful mare. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Bit below form ¾-length third of 6 to Fauvette in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 23 days ago. Should strip fitter for that, so merits respect.

Form: 32436-3

(7)

Internationalangel¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 100| D

7/1

Useful mare. Six wins from 10 runs last year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Newcastle 17 days ago, storming clear. Improving all the time recently and well worth her place in this.

Form: 11111-1

Forecasts

Happy Power (11/4), Misty Grey (4/1), Amilcar (7/1), Internationalangel (7/1), Tinker Toy (8/1), Highfield Princess (9/1), Volatile Analyst (11/1), River Nymph (16/1), Ayr Harbour (22/1), Fauvette (66/1)

MISTY GREY is unbeaten in 4 at this track and shaped well when second to a progressive sort in a handicap at Kempton last time, so he gets the nod dropping back to a more suitable trip. It's a competitive affair, however, with the progressive Internationalangel striking as an obvious player, while Amilcar is a fascinating addition having made the trip over from France.
