No Half Measures²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes| OR: 82

3/1

Went one better than on debut when scoring at Lingfield in March and took another step forward to follow up in a Wolverhampton minor event (6.1f) last month. Ground is an unknown but she's open to further improvement now handicapping.

Form: 211

Mc Loven¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dow| OR: 81| D

11/2

Dual winner in his juvenile season and arguably shaped best at the weights when tiring only late over 6f at Lingfield on his return. Not in same form at Windsor last time, though.

Form: 2118-46

Dashing Harry^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 75| D

5/2

Improved to get off the mark at third time of asking at Bath last year and very much bumped into one when runner-up at Windsor (5.1f, good, 4/1) on return. Form there has already been franked and he's a major player.

Form: 941-2

Cypriot Diaspora¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| D

13/8

Won nursery at Leicester last season proved better than ever when winning 6-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 85/40) 14 days ago. Conditions to suit again and she's a player from 4 lb higher mark

Form: 4618-81

Forecasts

Cypriot Diaspora (13/8), Dashing Harry (5/2), No Half Measures (3/1), Mc Loven (11/2)

NO HALF MEASURES progressed on each of her 3 starts on the all-weather and seems likely to remain on an upward curve now switched to turf for her handicap debut. Dashing Harry chased home a rival who has since completed the hat-trick on his comeback and has to be respected again, whilst Cypriot Diaspora won well in similar conditions 14 days ago and also can't be discounted in a tight contest.
