Pink Crystal²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 95| D

15/8

Likeable filly who tasted success 3 times last term and enhanced her form in defeat during the autumn, hitting the frame in fillies' listed events on each of her last 2 starts. Fact she's gone well fresh a plus and very much one to consider.

Form: 112523-

Dora Penny^t⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: P D Evans| OR: 89| D

14/1

Enjoyed a highly-productive spell during second half of last year, gaining a sixth victory at Wolverhampton (6f) in November. Quickly back on the up following reappearance effort at Lingfield when taking 5-runner Kempton handicap (6f) in April and not discounted for all this is tougher.

Form: 1271-71

Al Simmo²⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 88| D

8/1

Progressed well from a low base in sprint handicaps, adding pair of small field Newmarket handicaps (6f) to her tally last summer. Small rise in weights seemed to catch her out thereafter and more needed if she's to make a winning return here.

Origintrail³⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 83| D

16/1

Bagged Ripon maiden and Chester handicap last spring before good second behind Al Simmo in 6f handicap at Newmarket. Failed to beat a rival final 2 starts, last of 6 at Chelmsford (6f) in August. Progress required if she's to defy this sort of mark on seasonal bow.

Crazy Luck³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: B R Millman| OR: 83| D

5/1

In fine form around this time last year, runner-up in this race prior to landing handicaps at Newbury/Chester. Handicapper possibly in control after but signalled she's coming to the boil when runner-up on second start back at Windsor (6f) 32 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 6475-82

International Girl²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| CD

11/2

Successful over C&D and Pontefract last season. Below best thereafter but back to form following 7 months off/returned to quicker surface when second in 5-runner fillies' handicap at Ripon (6f) 26 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 10167-2

Radio Goo Goo²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 86| D

11/2

Winless during a busy 2-y-o campaign but much improved upon returning this year, career-best effort as she made it 4 wins from last 5 starts with another determined display at Chester (6f) 3 weeks ago. Mark has crept up a little more but she's evidently thriving and not dismissed.

Form: 2-15111

(5)

Distinguished Lady^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 82| D

17/2

Confirmed initial promise when opening account (following wind op) for present yard at Chelmsford (6f) in October. Shaped well from a tricky position when neck third behind Radio Goo Goo on return/handicap debut at Chester (6f) 3 weeks ago and that may not be her limit.

Form: 3901-3

Forecasts

Pink Crystal (15/8), Crazy Luck (5/1), Radio Goo Goo (11/2), International Girl (11/2), Al Simmo (8/1), Distinguished Lady (17/2), Dora Penny (14/1), Origintrail (16/1)

PINK CRYSTAL's 3-y-o campaign was a most progressive one, winning 3 times prior to solid placed efforts on each of her last 2 starts at listed level. She remains one to keep onside despite operating from a career-high mark on return and earns the vote. Distinguished Lady very much caught the eye behind the thriving Radio Goo Goo at Chester and that pair head up the dangers, along with Crazy Luck.
