(4)

Amor De Mi Vida^p⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 72| D

7/2

Quirky sort but he posted a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Holds good claims under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 9-32121

(1)

Cherish¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| D

4/1

Ended 2021 in fine form but off the track since fair seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) in February. Needs to hit the ground running after her lay-off.

Form: 17114-7

(6)

Pop Dancer³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| D

6/1

Sixteen runs since his last win in 2020 but he posted good second of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 4/1) 30 days ago. In the picture.

Form: 07-9322

(3)

Coronation Cottage¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: M S Saunders| OR: 61| CD

13/2

C&D winner who comes here on the back of creditable second of 9 to Rhubarb in handicap over C&D 14 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 127-272

(5)

Jastar⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: R Potter| OR: 64

66/1

8/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when below-par sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f) 81 days ago on his sole outing for Tom Clover. Not easy to make a case for for another new yard.

Form: 37-2686

(7)

Rhubarb¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 58| CD

11/4

Arrives on a hat-trick after recent wins here over 6f and C&D. Has a career-high mark to overcome now but she's still not taken lightly in her current mood.

Form: 169411

(2)

Fair And Square^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 62

6/1

Remains a maiden after 20 runs. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago though so he's one to consider.

Form: 244323

Forecasts

Rhubarb (11/4), Amor De Mi Vida (7/2), Cherish (4/1), Fair And Square (6/1), Pop Dancer (6/1), Coronation Cottage (13/2), Jastar (66/1)

AMOR DE MI VIDA has her quirks but is enjoying an excellent season and taken to bag a third win under a 5 lb penalty for her recent Haydock success. Hat-trick seeking Rhubarb rates the obvious threat with Fair And Square appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
