Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

16/1

5/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) in February. Off 96 days. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 68429-5

Granary Queen^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 70| C| D

10/1

Course winner in December. 25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down to the mark she defied in December. Not discounted.

Form: 4314-87

Pearly Star¹⁶⁹

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

10/1

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) in November (final start for Hugo Palmer). Worth a market check on first outing for James Horton.

Dotties Moon¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 60

66/1

Hinted at ability in 3 outings in the autumn but her opening handicap mark demands improvement.

Form: 600-

Dancingwithmyself²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: M L W Bell| OR: 71| D

11/2

Promising individual. 2/1, won 6-runner novice at Chelmsford (1m) in October. Very much unexposed and should have more to offer in handicaps this year.

Form: 61-

Tayala²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 70| C

5/1

17/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (7f) on reappearance 21 days ago, well positioned. Only nudged up 2 lb so should remain very competitive.

Form: 53536-1

Carpathian^h¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 69

9/1

Promise in 3 qualifying runs over 7f/1m last autumn and should have more to offer in handicaps at 3. Interesting runner, particularly if backed.

Form: 965-

Salamanca City³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 68

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in C&D maiden (33/1) 35 days ago, better placed than most. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask.

Form: 47-4

(7)

Midnight Drive²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 64| CD

9/2

7/1, career best when striking on C&D handicap debut 21 days ago. The narrow margin of victory means the handicapper could only nudge her up 2 lb. Likely to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 6-541

Guns And Flowers⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 63

100/1

22/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 70 days ago, nearest finish. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Others more persuasive.

Form: 460-566

Forecasts

Salamanca City (9/4), Midnight Drive (9/2), Tayala (5/1), Dancingwithmyself (11/2), Carpathian (9/1), Granary Queen (10/1), Pearly Star (10/1), Red Treasure (16/1), Mamora Bay (20/1), Dotties Moon (66/1), Guns And Flowers (100/1)

It's perhaps best to narrow this down to the 3-y-os. DANCINGWITHMYSELF should have more to offer on the back of last autumn's Chelmsford novice win and gets the nod. Recent C&D scorer Midnight Drive rates an obvious danger, while James Ferguson's Carpathian appeals as one who should have more to offer in handicaps.
