(1)

Yukon Mission^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72| D

9/4

Latest win at Pontefract (6f) in October. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) on return 13 days ago, having to pick way through. Clearly returned in good heart and she's worth a look from same mark.

Form: 31714-3

(3)

Sarah's Verse²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 72| D

5/2

Three wins from 16 runs last year. 9/2, stepped up on reappearance run to win 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. Ought to remain competitive and can go well again.

Form: 2202-51

(2)

Soller Bay^b²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

8/1

Fair and consistent filly who deservedly got off the mark dropped back to this trip at York in September, getting on top close home. Versatile as regards ground and worth noting she ran well on return 12 months ago.

Form: 422881-

Blissful Song^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| D

10/1

3¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Sarah's Verse in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) 20 days ago, possibly finding third run in 2 weeks coming too soon. Bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 040-326

(4)

Privilege²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 60

28/1

A winner in France (at 7.5f) 12 months ago but below best thereafter last year and seemingly not 100% on the day when last of 12 on return/yard debut at Newcastle in March, eased off. This should reveal more.

Form: 00000-0

(7)

Bakr^p⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 60

10/1

Below form fifth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (6f) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and mark has eased a little further but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 004-485

(6)

Rabat^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 59| BF

11/2

10/3, good 1½ lengths fourth of 8 to Sarah's Verse in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Still, fact she remains a maiden is off-putting.

Form: 4229-74

(8)

Dabirstar⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 57| D

16/1

33/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 43 days ago, weakening 1f out. Needs to step up a good deal on recent efforts to figure on turf debut.

Form: 028-780

(5)

Twice Adaay^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 56

28/1

Successful from 2 lb lower mark at Beverley (5f) last summer but more miss than hit thereafter for Adrian Keatley. May have needed the run after 5 months off for new yard at Catterick 16 days ago and usual cheekpieces back on now.

Form: 18874-9

Forecasts

Yukon Mission (9/4), Sarah's Verse (5/2), Rabat (11/2), Soller Bay (8/1), Blissful Song (10/1), Bakr (10/1), Dabirstar (16/1), Twice Adaay (28/1), Privilege (28/1)

A model of consistency last year, SARAH'S VERSE stepped up on her reappearance run when landing an 8-runner Wolverhampton handicap 3 weeks ago and a 2 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid back on turf. Yukon Mission ran well when third on return and can feature, along with Soller Bay.
