Cobalt Blue¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 78

4/1

Runner-up twice at 2 yrs but has produced a couple of tame efforts so far this term and has something to prove as a result.

Form: 0422-07

Woody's Angel⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson

66/1

Has a modest pedigree and showed nothing at Wolverhampton 5 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Boniato⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby

40/1

Signs of ability on both starts but looks more of a handicap type.

Form: 54

Dalatara¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D & C Kubler

100/1

Little encouragement on both starts to date and looks up against it again.

Form: 00

Maremma^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace

9/2

Stepped forward from her debut when fifth at Yarmouth 17 days ago, nearest finish under a considerate ride. Expected to improve further, so she's not a forlorn hope.

O G Beachwear³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: F Norton| T: H Palmer

1/1

Fair form both starts to date, fourth in a novice over C&D a month ago. Should give her running again but looks vulnerable.

Form: 44

Princess Niyla²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: H Palmer

4/1

Promising third on debut at Lingfield in the winter and, while she failed to build on it at Southwell, she could get back on track after 6 months off.

Forecasts

O G Beachwear (1/1), Parlando (9/4), Princess Niyla (4/1), Cobalt Blue (4/1), Maremma (9/2), Many A Year (9/2), Boniato (40/1), Woody's Angel (66/1), Dalatara (100/1)

MANY A YEAR has an appealing pedigree and his stable isn't averse to debut winners, so he's worth taking a chance on even if it's taken him a while to reach the track. Parlando is an obvious danger if the market vibes are positive after 16 months off and Princess Niyla can't be ruled out.
