7/2
Course winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 14/1) 46 days ago, challenging over 1f out. Certainly not without hope in this grade.

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 11 on handicap debut at Kempton (11f) 9 weeks ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Tough to see him involved.

11/4
7/1, career best after a wind op when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago, ridden closer to the pace than usual. Up in trip. Sure to give another good account raised 3 lb.

12/1
Ended long losing run in 8-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 29 days ago by head from Persian Wolf, digging deep. Claims with a repeat but this quirky veteran isn't sure to be in the same mood.

5/1
13/2, ran poorly when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 11 days ago. Visor back on. Has to be taken seriously from a career-low mark.

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 6/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 10 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on and may feature from tumbling mark.

5/1
C&D winner. 14/1, ran poorly upped in grade when sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. Merits consideration back in Class 6 company.

11/2, bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 47 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Island Of Skye (11/4), Miss Harmony (7/2), Persian Wolf (5/1), Sun Festival (5/1), Gustav Holst (15/2), Medrara (17/2), Stormingin (12/1), Compere (28/1), Faithless Insomnia (40/1)

Verdict

An opening-looking apprentice handicap to start proceedings and SUN FESTIVAL gets the tentative nod to double her career tally back down in trip from this career-low mark. The main threat could be Island of Skye, who showed improved form to narrowly get off the mark at Kempton earlier this month, while Persian Wolf and veteran Stormingin are another couple worthy of a mention.

  1. Sun Festival5/1
  2. Island Of Skye11/4
  3. Persian Wolf5/1
