Cazoo Handicap

Off time: 21:00 | Winning time: 1m 53.98s

(8)

Ravenglass⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 61

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 79 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 499-80

(3)

Larkin^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 60

4/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good fifth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good, 33/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut and should be in the thick of things if taking to this surface.

Form: 7990-05

(6)

Risk Averse¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 60

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 5 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good) 18 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and she needs to improve.

Form: 76-5

(2)

Kenilworth King¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Jarvis| OR: 59

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f). Off 116 days ahead of this handicap debut and one of two of these make greater appeal.

Form: 867

(5)

Cloch Nua¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 58

18/1

25/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip and a minor role if probably the best his connections can hope for.

Form: 355590

Renegade Rose^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 58

7/2

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 9 days ago. Down 1 lb and though starting to look a shade exposed, she should have a part to play in the finish.

Form: 0-47344

(4)

Caracristi¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 51

7/1

Very good fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 5/1) 10 days ago. Reproduction of that back on the AW would put her firmly in the picture, albeit she's now 0-13.

Form: 304035

(7)

Danby Wiske³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 49

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 25/1) 39 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip and others are more persuasive on balance.

Form: 775-38

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Kenilworth King (3/1), Renegade Rose (7/2), Larkin (4/1), Arcadian Friend (9/2), Caracristi (7/1), Ravenglass (14/1), She's Got Bottle (14/1), Risk Averse (16/1), Cloch Nua (18/1), Danby Wiske (66/1)

With his three qualifying runs under his belt and a lowly opening mark for this handicap bow, ARCADIAN FRIEND has improvement written all over him, particularly given the shrewd yard that he represents. The hint should be taken if the market vibes are upbeat. Renegade Rose's limitations are there for all to see, but she's a big player here nonetheless and is feared most ahead of Caracristi and Larkin.
