Big Narstie^b1,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 50| C

11/5

Temperamental sort. Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Blinkers/tongue tie now reached for down in grade but he's not one for maximum faith.

Broughtons Flare⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 47| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. 11/1, very good fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, not clear run over 1f out and keeping on. Expected to be thereabouts.

Form: 97778-4

Button Bay³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: Jack Jones| OR: 46

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden (100/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 36 days ago, ridden over 2f out and never a threat. Drop into this basement grade contest rates a plus if she can take a step forward now.

Form: 878-

Coconut Bay⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson| OR: 45

3/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. 3/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 7 days ago. Not out of things returned to 1m.

Dazamay⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 41

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 6 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 150/1) in October. First run for yard after leaving Philip Kirby and only market support would make her of interest back from a break.

Form: 676-

Inexplicable^t,v⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 46| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 74 days ago, making little impression. Drop into this basement grade rates a plus if a break has had positive effect.

Peruvian Sunset^t⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 41

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 200/1) 45 days ago. Much more needed if she's to get competitive.

Form: 875-

Qaabil^b³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 46| D

18/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 33 days ago, weakening 2f out. Others more persuasive.

Twistaline¹³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 47| D

9/2

Back on the scoreboard at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and largely holding form well when last seen during the summer, not beaten far when fifth of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford (1m) in August. No forlorn hope at this level if ready to roll back from a break.

Forecasts

Big Narstie (11/5), Coconut Bay (3/1), Gypsy Whisper (3/1), Broughtons Flare (4/1), Twistaline (9/2), Inexplicable (12/1), Brazen Arrow (16/1), Button Bay (16/1), Qaabil (18/1), Dazamay (66/1), Peruvian Sunset (80/1), Amenadiel (150/1)

A 3-time winner on all-weather this time last year, BROUGHTONS FLARE took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Wolverhampton recently and in a race lacking depth, he gets the vote to build on that here. Gypsy Whisper arrives in good nick and she's feared, ahead of Coconut Bay. The lightly-raced Button Bay is also worth monitoring in the market faced with her easiest assignment to date.
