Miss Mai Tai¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ross Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70| D

7/4

Firmly back on track returned to sprinting when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 17 days ago, showing a good attitude to hold on. A 2 lb rise may not prevent the follow up.

Form: 54-4701

Flying Barty²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ray Dawson| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| BF

4/1

Has a useful pedigree and ran creditably on first run since leaving Kevin Ryan when third in 10-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 3/1) 3 weeks ago. May do better still.

Form: 6566-3

Miss Mai Tai (7/4), Nuthatch (5/2), Puffable (10/3), Flying Barty (4/1)

MISS MAI TAI got firmly back on track returned to sprinting when scoring at Leicester 17 days ago and, although she was all out to hold on, a 2 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent the follow up in a thin race. Flying Barty made a satisfactory start for her new yard at Bath 3 weeks ago and may come on for the run.
