Opened account at Ffos Las in August when trained by George Boughey. However, has finished down the field on both starts for current yard. Has enough to prove over this longer distance on return.

Ectocross¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S Dow| OR: 58

10/1

Only sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/1) 10 days ago. However, has dropped further in the weights and she's an interesting contender now significantly up in trip.

Form: 5-37666

Martini Lodge^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 57

22/1

66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, always behind when eighth of 9 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Further step up in trip not enough to tempt,

Deep Spirit^h,t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 52

22/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped with more promise than previously when fourth of 7 in handicap (40/1) at this course (1m, AW) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Task is now to build on her latest effort.

Form: 97-064

28/1

Off only 9 days, fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) 32 days ago. No surprise to see an improved showing over this much longer trip on handicap debut.

Form: 705

Sand Timer¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: B R Johnson| OR: 50

Forecasts

Smooth Ryder (11/4), Foinix (10/3), Fullforward (11/2), Corporate Raider (13/2), Ectocross (17/2), She's A Mirage (10/1), Saratoga Spirit (11/1), Deep Spirit (22/1), Martini Lodge (22/1), Sundazed (28/1), Estehwadh (50/1), Sand Timer (80/1)

FOINIX has shown improved form upped in distance on his last 2 outings, getting off the mark at Chelmsford before finding only a progressive rival too strong at Southwell 10 days ago. He can make it 2 wins from 2 starts at 1m2f, with Smooth Ryder feared most in first-time cheekpieces. She's A Mirage also merits consideration upped significantly in trip.
