Jacks Coaches Handicap

Off time: 16:15 | Winning time: 57.75s

(1)

Mick McHugh^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72

5/1

£100,000 son of Caravaggio who stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up in a Lingfield maiden (5f) in January. Likely he needed sole start since at Ripon (6f) 4 weeks ago and no surprise to see an improved showing now handicapping. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 424

(8)

Dandy Dinmont¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 71| CD

7/2

Stepped up on return when fourth at Beverley (5f) 4 weeks ago and duly stepped up on that when striking fast and late to open his account over C&D 17 days ago. 4 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another good showing now he's off the mark.

Form: 226-741

(5)

Dusky Prince^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 69| D

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 936453

(2)

Prodigious Blue¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68

13/8

17/2, respectable sixth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 12 days ago, doing best of those drawn low. Remains a maiden but no surprise to see him give another good account back in a handicap (best efforts have come here).

Form: 522-436

(4)

Lotus Rose⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68| D

15/2

9/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, disputing lead until 1f out and keeping on. Needs to back that up now.

Form: 42-9763

(6)

Sherdil¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65

14/1

14/1, first run since leaving K. R. Burke when respectable 1¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Dandy Dinmont in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago.

Form: 4D6204

(3)

Jazzy Princess³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Davis| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 63| D

28/1

16/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 30 days ago, racing off the pace and never landing a blow. Needs to step up plenty on those efforts returned to turf.

Form: 5159-67

(9)

Emerald Lady¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 60

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in January, weakening over 1f out. Remains early days but she does need to find some improvement now attentions are switched to turf following a break.

Form: 465-7

(7)

Dandy Bay²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52

125/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 6475-80

Forecasts

Prodigious Blue (13/8), Dandy Dinmont (7/2), Dusky Prince (5/1), Mick McHugh (5/1), Lotus Rose (15/2), Sherdil (14/1), Jazzy Princess (28/1), Emerald Lady (66/1), Dandy Bay (125/1)

A host arrive with claims and it may pay to side with DANDY DINMONT. He took a step forward in form terms when shedding the maiden tag over C&D 17 days ago, and with a likely good gallop to aim at, he could well be up to striking fast and late once more. Dusky Prince, who looked a shade unlucky behid the selection on that occasion, has run well at Salisbury since and is feared, along with Prodigious Blue who also represents Nigel Tinkler.
