My Delilah²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 62

10/3

Failed to repeat her previous effort at this C&D when fifth of 9 in handicap (13/2) back here (soft) 25 days ago, forced to switch and hampered rival over 1f out. Could fare better on only third start for current yard.

Form: 23-4735

Flying Barty²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Ray Dawson| T: S C Williams| OR: 62

3/1

Wasn't able to improve when sixth of 10 on nursery debut at Ayr (6f, good, 22/1) when last seen in September. Off 8 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Watch for market clues.

8/1

After 8 months off, ran no sort of race when last of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 27 days ago. Needs to leave her reappearance well behind with cheekpieces on 1st time.

17/2

2 wins from 5 runs this year, with her latest success at Lingfield in February. Possibly not 100% when seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 3/1) 77 days ago. Can get back on track after a break.

Form: 4-21127

11/2

Off the mark at Wolverhampton at the beginning of the month and backed up that effort when third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 17 days ago, despite having been left poorly placed. Major player.

17/2

On her second start in a handicap, only fourth of 8 at Brighton (5.3f, good, 22/1) on turf debut 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could still have more to offer back on all-weather.

Forecasts

Flying Barty (3/1), My Delilah (10/3), Mucky Mulconry (9/2), Alainn Tu (11/2), Desert Illusion (8/1), Mick Says No (17/2), Mayz (17/2), Miss Moonshine (17/2), Alaskan (16/1), Pearly Gaits (33/1), Enterprising Lady (100/1)

ALAINN TU has shown improved form since her reappearance, getting off the mark at Wolverhampton at the start of the month before not being seen to best effect when third at Lingfield 6 days later. She is taken to resume winning ways at the expense of Miss Moonshine, who can leave her latest run behind following a break. My Delilah completes the shortlist.
