11/2

Epsom debut winner (7f) last August and better form when third over 8.6f at Wolverhampton the following month. Unexposed now switching to a handicap on return.

Form: 13-

Nurseclaire^h,t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 76

11/1

Carlisle maiden winner on debut for Richard Fahey a year ago but not really kicked on, including in 2 handicaps for this yard this season. Tricky to fancy.

Form: 9278-46

13/8

Kempton winner in November and respectable efforts in handicaps this term, nailed close home at Doncaster last month. Well backed at Beverley latest but did too much too soon. Respected.

Form: 341-524

Piastrella¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 72

5/2

Good record at Beverley, both her wins at 2 yrs coming over this trip there, while she didn't get a clear run in handicap last time. Could put up a bold showing.

Form: 1-45783

Jazz Samba¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

12/1

Has shown a fair bit in 3 races at up to this trip and could do better now handicapping under 7 lb claimer. Interesting.

Form: 724

International Boy⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62

7/1

14-race maiden but plenty of performances to suggest he can find a race, including when a keeping-on fourth at Thirsk (7f) last week. One to note.

Form: 88-0574

Forecasts

Master Richard (13/8), Piastrella (5/2), The Cookstown Cafu (4/1), Beautiful Surprise (11/2), International Boy (7/1), Theoretical (10/1), Nurseclaire (11/1), Jazz Samba (12/1)

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU could have a bigger performance in him and gets the vote back down in class fitted with cheekpieces. International Boy and Master Richard have more miles on the clock and are respected, while Jazz Samba catches the eye on her handicap debut for the Easterbys.
