Arcade Attraction^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 98| CD

1/1

First run since leaving Evan Williams when 4/1, improved to win 9-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good) 18 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Atlantic Storm. Remains well treated on old form and should take all the beating if in the same mood.

Striking Out²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 95

12/1

Fair at best but has lost his way and there's been no encouragement on either outing this term.

Form: 224U-7P

Atlantic Storm^t¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 90| C

9/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Very good 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Arcade Attraction in handicap chase (10/1) at this C&D (good) 18 days ago. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 7853-72

Miladygrace¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 85| D

18/5

Made a positive start over fences last season but hasn't kicked on so far this term, only fourth at Newton Abbot last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2F12-54

Noah's Light^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 82

18/1

Lightly-raced ex-Irish hurdles winner who has offered precious little for present connections, including on handicap debut at Newton Abbot 17 days ago. Up against it.

Form: PP7-PV4

Annie Nail¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 82| D

5/1

Has been reliable of late and posted another creditable effort when runner-up at Worcester a fortnight ago. Should give another good account for all that her mark seems about right.

Form: 35-5232

Arcade Attraction (1/1), Miladygrace (18/5), Annie Nail (5/1), Admiral's Sunset (5/1), Atlantic Storm (9/1), Striking Out (12/1), Noah's Light (18/1), Mawlood (50/1)

ARCADE ATTRACTION bounced back in no uncertain terms when making a successful start for this yard at the expense of Atlantic Storm over C&D recently and, with plenty of handicapping scope on old form, he's taken to follow up at the possible expense of his old rival. Annie Nail also merits plenty of respect.
