Rock N Roll Pinkie¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 64

7/2

Improved when third of 6 on handicap debut at Southwell (12.1f) 12 days ago. Will stay the additional 2f here and can make presence felt on turf debut.

Form: 9453

Cinnodin¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 62| D

9/4

Improved for the step up in trip when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February before following up in 3-runner event at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago. Should continue progressing and looks the one to beat on turf debut.

Form: 070-11

Michael's Pledge¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 57

9/4

Half-brother to smart stayer Coltrane but showed very little in maiden/minor event company late last year. Since been gelded and is significantly up in trip for his handicap bow, so any market support would be of note.

Form: 069-

Ten Bob Note²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 53

20/1

Only minor encouragement in trio of maiden/novice events towards back end of last year. Prominent in the betting on handicap debut last time but ultimately shaped as if needing run. May make more impact here.

Form: 950-7

Queenmambo²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 52

13/2

Creditable second of 4 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 21 days ago. Up in trip again but has previously shown her effectiveness on turf and has place claims again in another weak contest with good-value claimer aboard.

Form: 836742

Red Bird^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: C Johnston| OR: 52

28/1

Well-bred sort finished down the field in a trio of minor events late last year and looked a very difficult ride when beaten 23 lengths by Cinnodin in 3-runner handicap at Southwell last time. Blinkers now applied but she's opposable on balance.

Form: 570-3

(7)

Have You A Minute¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 49

11/1

Muhaarar gelding finished well beaten in minor events and a maiden in the second half of last year. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 808-

Happy Dancer^p²²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

50/1

Could hardly have shown any less in a trio of minor events last term and would surely need to improve to make an impact on handicap debut even in relatively weak company as this is.

Form: 878-

Forecasts

Cinnodin (9/4), Michael's Pledge (9/4), Rock N Roll Pinkie (7/2), Queenmambo (13/2), Have You A Minute (11/1), Ten Bob Note (20/1), Red Bird (28/1), Happy Dancer (50/1)

The hat-trick seeking CINNODIN probably hasn't finished improving following victories at Wolverhampton and Southwell and he looks hard to beat now switched to turf. Rock N Roll Pinkie stepped forward on her handicap bow last time and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the longer trip, so appeals as the one to follow the selection home ahead of Queenmambo.
