11/8

Fair maiden who shaped as if needing the run when third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and boasts solid claims.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Guy Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 57

11/2

Posted good second in amateurs event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December. Below form both starts this year, though raced very wide last time, so is best not judged on that run.

Forecasts

English Spirit (11/8), Luna Magic (3/1), Broughtons Flare (10/3), The Game Is On (11/2), Dutugamunu (15/2), Courtside (10/1), Caribbean Spring (12/1), Lightning Blue (18/1), Ahorsecalledwanda (80/1), Uae Soldier (150/1), Faline (200/1)

ENGLISH SPIRIT is a consistent sort who should be spot on following a recent run, so he's taken to open his account. Broughtons Flare can remain competitive, while The Game Is On is best forgiven his latest run having raced very wide.
