50/1

Sabah Al Ward²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 63WS

6/1

Well-related Showcasing filly who showed promise on her first two runs for Richard Hughes only to come in last in 6f Kempton novice 7 months ago. Makes yard/handicap debut on the back of breathing surgery and she's not without interest if it sparks a resurgence.

Form: 459-

Liosa²⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W S Kittow| OR: 57

10/1

Only modest form shown in three runs for Craig Lidster last autumn, fourth of 10 in 5f minor event (16/1) at Wolverhampton final one. Makes his stable/handicap debut with something to find at these weights.

Forecasts

Big R (2/1), Raven's Applause (6/1), In The Giving (6/1), Sabah Al Ward (6/1), Skallywag Bay (13/2), Liosa (10/1), Berkshire Cruz (12/1), My Mate Mike (16/1), Mahboobah (50/1)

A number of these arrive with question marks against them so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SABAH AL WARD to take a sizeable step forward starting out for George Boughey on the back of breathing surgery. Recent Haydock second Big R holds obvious claims off just a 1 lb higher mark and is next on the list with My Mate Mike and Skallywag Bay both weighted to have a say too.
