Winnaretta^p1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 57

33/1

Hooded for 1st time, fared no better when fifth of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 42 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding with cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Form: 406-775

Harry The Haggler^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: S C Williams| OR: 55| BF

5/2

Soon back on track when second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 6/4) 20 days ago, finding only a much improved handicap debutante too good. Can go one better this time around.

Form: 4-49252

Hitched^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 55

10/3

After 5 months off (gelded and in first-time hood), failed to improve making handicap/turf debut when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm, 15/2) 23 days ago. It remains early days, though.

Form: 996-5

(2)

Kohana Breeze^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 54

3/1

Has finished no better than mid-field in handicaps this year, fifth of 9 at Brighton (1m, good to firm, 6/1) 13 days ago. Needs to find more.

Form: 3-95765

(3)

Sundowner^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 52

14/1

With cheekpieces applied, never a threat when eighth of 11 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) 20 days ago. Improvement required as she goes up in trip.

Form: 07-78

Wood Farm Wag²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 47

33/1

Run best excused when last of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good, 50/1) 27 days ago, going off too hard. Still looks to be up against it, though.

Form: 9-5690

(4)

Athene's Kiss^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 45

3/1

In first-time blinkers, ran one of better races when third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good to firm) 13 days ago. Can get involved again if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Form: 680483

Forecasts

Harry The Haggler (5/2), Athene's Kiss (3/1), Kohana Breeze (3/1), Hitched (10/3), Sundowner (14/1), Winnaretta (33/1), Wood Farm Wag (33/1)

Away from testing conditions, HARRY THE HAGGLER wasted no time getting back on track when bumping into a handicap newcomer at Lingfield 20 days ago, so he can build on his latest effort to open his account. Athene's Kiss could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Hitched completing the shortlist.
