Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/2) 5 days ago, never nearer. Hood back on. Remains winless following 14 attempts but has to be respected in this company.

Form: 345464

White Mist^t1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 55

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 7598-8

Zoukster⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 55

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in minor event (22/1) at this C&D 52 days ago (gelded since), slowly away. Improvement is needed now handicapping but that's entirely possible and he's one to note in the betting.

Form: 70-8

Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Each-way shout if able to build on that.

Alaskan^t¹⁴

Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 6/1) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has to enter calculations.

Forecasts

Zoukster (9/4), South Dakota Sioux (7/2), Moondial (9/2), Alaskan (13/2), Gypsy Nation (15/2), She's A Mirage (8/1), Savannah Smiles (10/1), Bodega Nights (14/1), Vaudevillian (18/1), White Mist (25/1)

This could be the day when SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX finally opens his account. He has made the frame on several occasions, including when fourth recently in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford where he left the impression that moving up to this trip would be in his favour. Alaskan would have benefited from a stronger gallop when third at Lingfield and will be a threat if getting that here, while She's A Mirage, Gypsy Nation and handicap-debutant Zoukster are all worthy of consideration.
