Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week Handicap

Off time: 13:10 | Winning time: 1m 24.29s

(4)

Truely Aclaimed¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Davies⁽⁷⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 76| D

4/1

Beverley novice winner (7.4f) as a 3-y-o who is knocking on the door in handicaps, matching previous best when beaten only by an improver back at that venue 11 days ago. Has to be of interest with highly promising apprentice taking off 7 lb here.

Form: 250-232

(3)

North Lincoln¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76

5/4

Made it third time lucky (well backed) in a Southwell minor event in January and improved again when runner-up in a C&D handicap 12 days ago. Mark goes unchanged and well worth a look with further progress likely.

Form: 3-212

(8)

Hodler^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 74

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped much better than the bare result when fifth of 12 on handicap bow at Windsor (6f) 18 days ago, keeping on having met trouble-in-running. Goes up in trip now with a hood again fitted.

Form: 537-45

(2)

Golden Spice³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 74| D

20/1

Improved model on AW this winter landing 7f maiden/handicap events in January. Hard to knock her efforts in defeat since and she ought to give another good account now tackling turf.

Form: 35-1123

(5)

Liangel Hope¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| D

10/1

Fair gelding who only needed to match previous best when off the mark in a Redcar novice (7f) 2 weeks ago. This understandably a more competitive scenario but in good hands and good showing anticipated on handicap bow.

Form: 262-521

(1)

Stubble Field²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Pearce| OR: 72

16/1

Showed plenty of ability in 3 starts as a juvenile and respectable return display when third in a Lingfield minor event (7f) in April, albeit better placed than most. Still, worth another crack at this trip now sent handicapping.

Form: 252-3

(9)

Adjudicator³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 71| D

7/1

Showed improved form to land a Redcar nursery (7f) in September. Not at quite the same level since, running just respectably when eighth of 9 on return/yard debut at Lingfield last month. This should reveal more.

Form: 55105-8

(7)

Buraback³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: K Jewell| OR: 68| D

12/1

Continues to steadily go the right way, gaining second career victory at Lingfield (7f) in March prior to a good second back there latest. Looks a sound each-way player in this form back on turf.

Form: 13-7312

(6)

Miss Candy¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 62

40/1

Equiano filly who has run to a similar level all 3 starts in 6f, AW novice events to date, shaping as if better for the run when third of 5 at Lingfield (6f) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to be sharper but step up to 7f needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 4-43

Forecasts

North Lincoln (5/4), Truely Aclaimed (4/1), Adjudicator (7/1), Hodler (9/1), Liangel Hope (10/1), Buraback (12/1), Stubble Field (16/1), Golden Spice (20/1), Miss Candy (40/1)

This looks competitive but it may just pay to side with John Quinn's TRUELY ACLAIMED. She again ran well when bumping into an improver at Beverley 11 days ago, and with her very promising rider taking off a valuable 7 lb, she looks sure to go well again. North Lincoln has to be of serious interest also and rates the lead threat. Liangel Hope and Golden Spice complete the shortlist.
