Miss Marble⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 91| D

6/1

Dual AW novice winner last autumn but didn't make any significant impact on her Lingfield handicap debut in January. Switches to turf for the first time after 3 months off. Will need improvement to overcome this mark.

Form: 2/116-0

Khatwah^p,h,t³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 86| D

13/8

Improver for this yard, getting right back on the up on her first turf start for the stable when scoring easily at Doncaster on Saturday evening. Looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 116461

Sunrise Valley²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 85| BF| D

5/2

Won novices at Newmarket (7f) and Chelmsford (1m) last year, showing useful form at latter. Disappointing in 1m Ascot handicap on final start but she remains with potential on return for a yard which does so well with older horses.

Form: 2119-

Mystical Air^h1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 81| D

5/1

Lingfield novice winner in December 2020 and made an encouraging return from a long absence when third in 1m Kempton novice 27 days ago. Hooded for handicap/turf debut. Likely she has more to offer.

Form: 61/3

Holy Endeavour¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

10/1

10/1, career best when dead-heating in 10-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. In a better race now so she'll need improvement to follow up.

Form: 318/431

Golden Melody²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| BF| D

40/1

Three wins from 16 runs last year. 7/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chester when last seen in October. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 6 months off.

Crystal Casque²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Harry Davies⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| D

33/1

Ended last term below par and last of 6 on Lingfield return 24 days ago. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 76105-6

Forecasts

Khatwah (13/8), Sunrise Valley (5/2), Mystical Air (5/1), Miss Marble (6/1), Holy Endeavour (10/1), Crystal Casque (33/1), Golden Melody (40/1)

If KHATWAH is in the same form as at Doncaster on Saturday evening then a 5 lb penalty may not stop her. Mystical Air made an encouraging return to action at Kempton recently and rates an obvious danger on her handicap/turf debut. The low-mileage Sunrise Valley could have more to offer this year and also makes the shortlist.
