10/1

Temperamental sort. 12/1, wasn't disgraced under a change of tactics when seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago. He's vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Winter Moon^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 59

14/1

125/1, offered something to work on having her first run since leaving Andrew Balding when ninth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve.

Sparks Fly²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 59| BF

7/2

Promising individual. Well-backed 7/2, again shaped well when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 25 days ago, conceding first run. Makes turf debut. Shortlist material.

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, improved when second of 11 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) 4 weeks ago. May build on that here.

5/1

Took another step back in the right direction when second of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (8f) 7 days ago, keeping on when edging right final 1f. Not taken lightly back on turf.

Forecasts

Chinthurst (3/1), Sparks Fly (7/2), Harry The Haggler (7/2), Racing Demon (5/1), Man Made Of Smoke (6/1), Greavsie (10/1), Romantic Sunlight (10/1), Twilight Guest (10/1), Rhea Of The Year (14/1), Winter Moon (14/1), The Game Is Up (40/1)

A tricky finale to solve but SPARKS FLY again shaped well having conceded first run when third at Wolverhampton last month, so David Loughnane's filly gets the nod to make a winning start on turf. Racing Demon took another step back in the right direction at Kempton last week so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Man Made of Smoke and Harry The Haggler.
