Professional Widow³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Spencer| OR: 75

7/4

Well treated, down in grade, and shaped as if she'd returned in form (didn't get a clear run) when fourth in a Nottingham handicap 33 days ago. Worth chancing with Marquand on board.

Form: 24657-4

(4)

Nuble^h,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: M Botti| OR: 73| D

11/1

Completed a Lingfield hat-trick to start 2022 and has generally held her form since, sixth of 11 in a handicap there 9 days ago. Will need things to drop right.

Form: 1-11136

Sienna Breeze²⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: L Wadham| OR: 70

12/1

Scored at Nottingham last summer but her form tailed off towards the end of the campaign and she might need this first run for 8 months.

Form: 459170-

(7)

Bluenose Belle^b²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 69

12/1

Has the ability to feature from this sort of mark but both her last two efforts were pretty tame, so it's hard to make a strong case for her.

Form: 14-7445

(2)

Sharla²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R A Teal| OR: 68

5/1

Successful over 1m at Kempton last August and was back to form when runner-up at Lingfield last month. Mark is unchanged and she deserves respect.

Form: 51566-2

(8)

New Heights¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 65

2/1

Scored from a 1 lb lower mark last season and was back to form when runner-up at Windsor, so can't be taken lightly.

Form: 1338-52

Forecasts

Professional Widow (7/4), New Heights (2/1), Sharla (5/1), Nuble (11/1), Sienna Breeze (12/1), Bluenose Belle (12/1), Zoom Zoom Babe (12/1), Velvet And Steel (16/1)

PROFESSIONAL WIDOW was better than the result on reappearance and everything looks right for her to put up a bold showing, so she's preferred to New Heights, who returned to form at Windsor last time. Sharla is also considered.
