11/1
Improver for this yard, completing a 7f handicap hat-trick in January/February. Too free to last out the last twice and remains to be seen if she's as effective on turf.

Massive improver during the second half of 2021, completing 4-timer at Sandown in September. Excellent return to action when fourth at Kempton and she's a big player from the same mark.

Three wins from 5 runs in productive 3-y-o career. Never able to land a blow on last week's reappearance at Nottingham but she's expected to step up on that.

Triple winner around 1m last summer and didn't appear to ger home upped to 10f on final 2021 outing. Doesn't have much margin for error from this mark on reappearance.

Fair form for George Boughey, coming good at the fourth time asking in Kempton novice 38 days ago. Subsequently sold for 38,000 gns and last of 10 upped to 14.4 on handicap debut in September.

9/2
Successful 3 times for Mick Appleby and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts this spring. 1 lb out of the weights switched to turf but that won't prevent another bold bid.

Forecasts

Spirit Of The Bay (11/10), Alpha Cru (11/4), Finery (9/2), Zulu Girl (9/1), Khatwah (11/1), Fire Eyes (40/1)

Verdict

SPIRIT OF THE BAY can boast a superb strike rate in handicaps and, having fared best of those held up when fourth on return to action, she looks primed to add to her tally. Alpha Cru's return wasn't as promising but she can step up on that and be a factor.
