Samba Lady²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: D Loughnane| OR: 63

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 443-55

(3)

Greavsie^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 63| D

6/1

Temperamental sort. Latest win at Kempton in January. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at the same course (8f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and shouldn't be far away if taking to this surface.

Form: 7-14526

(4)

Seagrave Fox¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| D

7/4

7/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. 4 lb rise tolerable and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 5404-31

(6)

Savannah Smiles¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 62

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, fifth of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 19 days ago. Improvement is possible now handicapping but it will certainly be needed if she's to open her account here.

Form: 3-25

(1)

Coloane¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: W Jarvis| OR: 60

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 180 days ahead of this handicap debut and needs to raise her game.

Form: 567-

(5)

Trojan Legend^b1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 60| BF

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, folding tamely. Looked amiss on that occasion and well worth another chance in first-time blinkers here.

Form: 870-9

(8)

Future Times¹⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 59

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in nursery (50/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm). Off 153 days ahead of this tapeta debut and he's not particularly appealing.

Form: 95800-

(7)

Capofan²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 58

15/2

18/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down another 2 lb and it's not hard to envisage this filly making an impact.

Form: 84636-4

Forecasts

Seagrave Fox (7/4), Savannah Smiles (5/1), Greavsie (6/1), Capofan (15/2), Trojan Legend (8/1), Coloane (10/1), Samba Lady (11/1), Future Times (25/1)

SEAGRAVE FOX has progressed with each of his 3 starts since going down the handicap route, and a 4 lb rise for his recent breakthrough success at Wolverhampton may not be enough to stop him. Trojan Legend ran no sort of a race when returning from a break at Kempton but better was clearly expected on that handicap debut (well backed) and it will be interesting to see if support again arrives for him now equipped with blinkers. Capofan is best of the rest.
