Tawalla¹⁶

11/4

Much improved from debut despite still looking a work in progress after 6 months off when second of 9 in minor event (14/1) at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Open to further improvement as he gains experience.

Form: 6-2

Harriet's Angel¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop

8/1

Twice-raced filly. 16/1, built on debut promise while still looking far from the finished article when third of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago. Open to progress.

Forecasts

Talha (4/9), William Dewhirst (9/4), Tawalla (11/4), Harriet's Angel (8/1)

Tough to split these but TALHA has finished runner-up on each of his 3 outings so far and with further improvement not ruled out this looks a good opportunity for Richard Fahey's charge to go a place better. Tawalla was much improved from debut despite still looking a work in progress so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Harriet's Angel.
