6/1

Fair filly who saw her run of good form come to an end when offs-on last of 6 in claimer at Leicester (6f, heavy) 52 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

13/2

Put her experience to good use when winning 6f Kempton novice in September but she has yet to fire in two 6f handicaps this term. Handily weighted if getting back on track.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 65

50/1

Shaped well when debut second for Kevin Philippart De Foy at Yarmouth last summer but she has gone the wrong way since, cheekpieces tried when seventh in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Blinkers are given a go this time.

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.
