Sky Bet Extra Places Every Day Handicap

(10)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M G Rimell| OR: 67

Again ran below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 23 days ago. Murphy back on board and eases further in the weights.

Form: 857-258

(5)

Slippin Jimmy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| D

9/2, again ran creditably when second of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, running on. Deserves plenty of credit for his consistency so he makes the shortlist.

Form: 17-3842

(2)

Highfield Viking²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 64| BF

Winner at Doncaster in April. Got back on track returned to all-weather when fourth of 11 in handicap (2/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 778-164

(1)

Vortigan^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 62

Blinkered for 1st time, got back on track when third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 17/2) 17 days ago, having run of race. Not taken lightly if he's able to employ similar tactics.

Form: 38-9063

(7)

Nightout^b1,t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

13/2, looked awkward when last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 19 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 30-0337

(12)

Global Crisis^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 61

Possibly failed to stay when fifth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 4-95675

(11)

Beautron^p1,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

1 win from 3 runs this year. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, racing without cover. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 847-156

(8)

Bowleaze⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 55WS

No show in a couple of handicaps this term so she's very hard to fancy. Had a breathing op since last seen.

Form: 474-00

(13)

Fortuitous Star¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 54

Ran to a similar level as on return despite not being seen to best effect when third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 13 days ago, not clear run under 2f out. Drawn widest but holds sound each-way claims.

Form: 2334-33

(4)

Climate Change¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, took a small step forward when third of 10 on handicap debut at Southwell (7.1f) 5 months ago. Makes turf debut and could have a say provided he's ready to roll.

Form: 04-53

(9)

Rockin Rosa^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51

15/2, ran just respectably upped in trip when third of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 364553

(6)

Daisy Roots²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: A West| OR: 50

14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 24 days ago, left behind gradually 2f out. Others more persuasive.

Form: 83-7465

(3)

Wrenegade Lad¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: P T Midgley| OR: 45

40/1, made more impact than previously when fourth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Difficult ask.

Form: 97-0074

Forecasts

Slippin Jimmy (10/3), Highfield Viking (4/1), Vortigan (5/1), Fortuitous Star (5/1), Nightout (7/1), Climate Change (8/1), Rockin Rosa (16/1), Beautron (20/1), Red Maids (20/1), Global Crisis (25/1), Wrenegade Lad (33/1), Daisy Roots (33/1), Bowleaze (66/1)

Richard Fahey took this corresponding race 12 months ago and can repeat that feat with SLIPPIN JIMMY, who deserves plenty of credit for his consistency and looks ready to strike again judged on his Haydock effort earlier this month. Vortigan was just a place behind the selection that day and he could well emerge as the main danger, with Highfield Viking and Fortuitous Star another could fancied to go well.
