(1)

Quantum Light²⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76

10/1

Fair form when reaching the frame on all four outings as a juvenile (6f/7f). Up in trip for reappearance. Unexposed sort from a good stable. The betting should guide.

Form: 3244-

(6)

Dhariye¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 76

9/1

Improved on his 2 efforts at the start of last summer when winning 13-runner maiden at Southwell (1m) in January. Likely capable of better again now handicapping after another break.

Form: 85-1

(5)

Forest Demon³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 74

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (1m, heavy) on reappearance 36 days ago. Could strip fitter for the run. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 9851-5

(7)

Hat Toss^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D Loughnane| OR: 74

4/1

Positive start for new yard when narrowly denied in 1m Haydock handicap (good to firm) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Raised 6 lb but still looks on a workable mark.

Form: 055-762

(8)

Flame Spirit¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: J Tate| OR: 73

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Not at best in first-time blinkers (discarded) when fifth of 8 in novice at Chelmsford (7f) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 5-5335

(4)

Star Child²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 73

16/1

Winner on handicap debut Chelmsford (1m) in January. Might be worth forgiving her run on very testing ground at Nottingham since.

Form: 064-18

(2)

Born Ruler¹¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 73| C

11/4

Thrice-raced winner. Won 9-runner novice at this course (7f) in January. Longer trip will suit now handicapping after a break. Should be more to come and big player from a handy draw.

Form: 7-31

(10)

Kodiman^h⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 72

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1 and hooded first time, seventh of 11 in novice at Southwell (7f) 49 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 287

(9)

No Barrier²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69

6/1

Fair form. 13/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, soft) 23 days ago but might fare better back on AW and the booking of William Buick, who rode a winner for the stable at York last week, takes the eye.

Form: 045-435

Non-Runners

(3)

Dee See Are¹

Weight: 8-11| Age: 3

T: K R Burke J: C Lee

Forecasts

Born Ruler (11/4), Hat Toss (4/1), Forest Demon (11/2), No Barrier (6/1), Dhariye (9/1), Quantum Light (10/1), Dee See Are (10/1), Flame Spirit (16/1), Kodiman (16/1), Star Child (16/1)

BORN RULER appeals as one who should have more to offer now handicapping over further and can add to his 7f course novice success at the start of the year. Dhariye is another last-time-out winner who should go on to better things in handicaps and is feared most ahead of the William Buick-ridden No Barrier. Hat Toss also merits serious respect.
