Missing You¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 65

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, good 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Just A Spark in maiden at Kempton (5f) 17 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Sizeable step forward needed now switched to tapeta for this handicap debut.

Form: 597-3

(8)

Just A Spark¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 63| D

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. 4/6, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner maiden at Kempton (5f) 17 days ago, readily. Mark for this handicap debut is probably fair and she needs considering.

Form: 4221

16/1

100/1

20/1 and visored for 1st time, 6¼ lengths last of 7 to Wreck It Ryley in handicap at Southwell (5f) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Wreck It Ryley (9/4), Just A Spark (4/1), Lady Nagin (9/2), Cuban Grey (5/1), Goose Rock (8/1), Missing You (12/1), Doctor Mozart (16/1), Byefornow (25/1), Mucky Mulconry (80/1), Kodi Dancer (100/1)

The most appealing of these is WRECK IT RYLEY, who has improved since going down the handicap route and he was just touched off over 6f here recently. He should prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark back at the minimum trip. Cuban Grey lost little caste in defeat at Southwell on his latest start and he is second choice. Kempton maiden winner Just A Spark and Lady Nagin are others to consider.
