Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 76

13/2

Won at Nottingham early on last season and some good runs since, including at Windsor 19 days ago. Should go forward from stall 1 and she's not discounted.

Form: 6404-64

Esken Rose⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74| BF| D

3/1

Impressive when making all in 6f Pontefract novice on debut in September. Better for run on return there behind Origintrail and could last longer on handicap debut.

Form: 1-4

Pepper Streak^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 72

14/1

Forecasts

Origintrail (13/8), Esken Rose (3/1), Fabiosa (13/2), Princess Shabnam (8/1), Pepper Streak (14/1), Russellinthebushes (16/1), Red Showgirl (16/1), Silken Petals (20/1), Torvi (25/1)

ORIGINTRAIL made all at Ripon 3 weeks ago and can go on improving now handicapping. She could take some pegging back if getting to the front from stall 3. Esken Rose could show a lot more on her second run back, while Fabiosa is another to keep on side.
