(5)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 69| CD

Back on track to snap a losing run in quite convincing style over C&D 10 days ago, looking well suited by the conditions. Remains on a handy mark and should go well again.

Form: 94360-1

Kynsa²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: K P De Foy| OR: 66

Consistent sort who made a solid start for this stable (had left Jamie Osborne) when fourth at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Goes well with cut in the ground and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 22623-4

Pearly Star¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: James Horton| OR: 63| D

10/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f), having to pick way through. Off 161 days. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer. Well worth a market check.

Form: 662544-

Astronomica¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 59| BF| D

Dual winner last season and held her form well towards the end of the campaign. Should give her running if tuned up for this return, but she doesn't appear to have much in hand.

Form: 121324-

Dougies Dream^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59| D

Fair handicapper who hasn't been firing this term but is slipping in the weights and can't be completely ignored.

Form: 600-038

Forecasts

Ardbraccan (5/4), Kynsa (4/1), Astronomica (9/2), Pearly Star (11/2), Dougies Dream (7/1)

KYNSA made a positive start for this stable at Southwell 3 weeks ago and she's arguably at her best with some cut in the ground, so she takes marginal preference over Ardbraccan, an easy C&D winner 10 days ago. Pearly Star is also of interest debuting for a new yard.
