Frankness¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 87| C

6/1

Frankel filly who landed a pair of novice events over 7f here last summer. Fair seventh over C&D 17 days ago but the draw could have been kinder.

Form: 3118-97

Distinguished Lady^t²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 81| D

20/1

Had a wind op/tongue strap on for 1st time when landing 9-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) in October. Much respected now going into handicaps for her in-form yard.

Form: 3901-

Royal Dress¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: R Hannon| OR: 80| BF| D

10/3

Improved again to bag 6f Doncaster novice on reappearance and she backed it up with a good third over C&D on her handicap debut 17 days ago. In the picture once more.

Form: 642-13

(4)

Palm Lily²⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 78| D

17/2

Won cosily on her 6f Kempton debut last June but slightly underwhelming after, fifth of 10 in nursery at Newmarket (7f) when last seen 8 months ago. More is needed on her reappearance.

Form: 1845-

(2)

Radio Goo Goo²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 78| CD

5/4

Is going the right way and arrives on a hat-trick after recent comfortable successes over C&D and at Haydock. Another bold showing is on the cards under a 6 lb penalty.

Form: 22-1511

(3)

Absolutelyflawless¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 78| C| D

10/1

Course winner who posted a career best when bagging 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 4 lb rise.

Form: 1486-71

(7)

Wasdale¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 70| D

11/1

Already a three-time AW scorer, latest at Newcastle (5f) in February, and she returned from 12 weeks off with a solid second there 18 days ago. Well in the mix back up to 6f and eased 1 lb.

Form: 7115-12

(5)

Corinthian Kid¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 68| D

100/1

Fair 6f winner at 2yrs for Jonathan Portman but she's been well beaten in 3 runs this season, latest over C&D for her new yard. Others are much more obvious.

Form: 332-800

Forecasts

Radio Goo Goo (5/4), Royal Dress (10/3), Frankness (6/1), Palm Lily (17/2), Absolutelyflawless (10/1), Wasdale (11/1), Distinguished Lady (20/1), Corinthian Kid (100/1)

RADIO GOO GOO has returned a much improved model and looks weighted to complete a hat-trick turned out under a 6 lb penalty for Thursday's comfortable Haydock success. Wasdale could emerge as the chief threat now she reverts to 6f, with in-form pair Royal Dress and Absolutelyflawless in the mix too in a competitive sprint.
