7/1
Made a winning debut at Newton Abbot last season, before still looking in need of the experience when runner-up at Ayr next time. All but came down at the fourth at Hereford on her final outing, so she could still have more to offer now handicapping on her return. Major player.

9/1
Opened her account at this C&D in November but pulled up on 2 of her 3 starts since. However, it was one of her better efforts when fourth here (21.8f, soft) on her penultimate run, not quite seeing out the longer trip, so she's capable of getting involved if on a going day.

Remains a maiden but, with cheekpieces reapplied, ran well when second in mares' handicap at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) in February. Couldn't match that level at the same C&D 2 weeks later, but no surprise to see her bounce back returned to this longer trip.

16/5
Gained a first success over hurdles in mares' novices' handicap at Ludlow (21.3f, soft) in November and backed up that effort when a close third at Leicester in January. Below-par run at Plumpton last time, though she's not discounted given the form she was in previously.

9/2
Bred for longer trips and shaped in kind when making the frame in Exeter mares' maiden hurdle (16.7f) on debut. However, she's finished well held both starts this season, so she has work to do as she makes her handicap bow.

6/1
Only poor form at best in 2021/22 and pulled up on her return from 22 months off at this course (21.8f) in January. Took a small step back in the right direction when third in handicap at Plumpton (25f, soft) 3 weeks ago, but others still make more appeal back down in trip.

Forecasts

Callin Baton Rouge (2/1), Only Fools (16/5), Luna Run (9/2), Set In The West (6/1), Sailing Grace (7/1), Miss Fedora (9/1)

Verdict

SAILING GRACE made a promising start over hurdles last season, beating a next-time-out winner at Newton Abbot on debut, and her last run is best excused having not been able to recover after a jumping error. The 5-y-o remains with potential making her handicap debut on her reappearance, so she is preferred to Callin Baton Rouge and Only Fools.

  1. Sailing Grace7/1
  2. Callin Baton Rouge2/1
  3. Only Fools16/5
