(1)

Star Of Lady M^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| CD

15/2

Did well last season, winning 3 times. Yet to fire this term but cheekpieces are applied and she has the plum draw.

Form: 1353-00

(4)

King's Crown^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 82

11/2

Won Thirsk maiden last May. Hasn't troubled the judge since but creditable efforts so far this term and should be well positioned. Blinkers are on for the first time, too.

Form: 6770-54

(12)

Dream For Gold⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| DWS

8/1

Found improvement to score at Chelmsford on return and shaped as if still in form at Southwell last time. Stall 12 isn't ideal but still dangerous to dismiss after a wind op.

Form: 3422-15

(9)

Northcliff⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| BF

10/1

Still a maiden after 11 starts but he has some fairly useful form. Quickly back on track when second in a maiden at Catterick 9 days ago and should give another good account.

Form: 43-6302

(11)

Thankuappreciate²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 79

15/2

After 7 months off, ran well on handicap debut when third of 8 at Nottingham and backed it up with a good second at Thirsk. Disappointed at York last time and has a wide draw to contend with.

Form: 212-320

(7)

Another Baar¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: A Keatley| OR: 78

10/3

Progressive sprinter who justified good support when landing a 9-runner event with plenty in hand at Ripon last time. Another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 85-1331

(3)

Braveheart Boy²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78

16/1

Fairly useful and consistent sprint juvenile. Showed enough to suggest he retains his ability when fourth of 10 on Ripon reappearance but failed to back it up at Hamilton last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8437-40

(10)

Winter Crown²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 76| D

11/2

Positive start for this yard, winning AW novice then second in handicaps at Musselburgh and Chester. Shaped as if still in form at York last time but stall 10 makes life difficult.

Form: 77-1220

(6)

Desert Games^v1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

18/1

Consistent rather than progressive to this point, fourth in a novice at Doncaster last time. Visor is applied for handicap debut, so he might well do better now.

Form: 35-44

(8)

Aira Force²²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 73

12/1

Improved when winning 17-runner nursery at Leicester on penultimate outing last season and signed off with a creditable effort at Kempton. Will probably do better still this term but entitled to need the run after 7 months off.

Form: 873213-

(5)

Cavalier Approach¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| D

66/1

Scored at Newcastle in May and, while he found his run of good form coming to a halt at Redcar last time, he's likely to bounce back quickly.

Form: 66-6127

Forecasts

Another Baar (10/3), Winter Crown (11/2), King's Crown (11/2), Dickieburd (11/2), Quandary (11/2), Thankuappreciate (15/2), Star Of Lady M (15/2), Dream For Gold (8/1), Northcliff (10/1), Aira Force (12/1), Braveheart Boy (16/1), Desert Games (18/1), Cavalier Approach (66/1)

DICKIEBURD shaped well at Epsom recently and has the potential to make all from a low draw, so he takes marginal preference over Another Baar, who scored readily at Ripon 10 days ago. King's Crown is another one to consider.
