Voodoo Ray^b⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52| D

2/1

2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (4/1) at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Big shout in hat-trick bid under a penalty on that evidence from good draw.

Form: 1435-11

Savalas^p²⁷⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 8/1) in August, drawn wider than ideal and involved in early scrimmaging. Possibly best watched on return from 9 months off.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Harris| OR: 53| D

15/2

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 9/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 9 days ago. Not taken lightly with this slightly longer trip in his favour.

40/1

3-time C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 14/1) in September, left behind under 2f out. May be better for the run here following an 8-month absence.

Darkened Edge^h²⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 52

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 50/1). Off 6 months. Switch to handicaps rates more suitable but would need to see market confidence behind her to make her of interest.

Form: 556-

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 52

66/1

40/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f), slowly away. Off 6 months. Hood on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere.

Lion Ring¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 51

22/1

One win from 42 Flat runs. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago, plugging on. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 4-56952

Midnight Flame²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 50

7/1

22/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago, just failing. Can make presence felt.

16/1

Last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 22/1), met some trouble. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving John Wainwright. Others more persuasive.

My Kind Of Girl¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

10/1

17/2, good ¾-length second of 11 to Voodoo Ray in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 15 days ago. Can give a good account again.

Form: 54-6752

22/1

7/2

7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) in November, weakening over 1f out. Return to sprinting should aid his cause back from 6 months off.

Forecasts

Voodoo Ray (2/1), Malham Tarn Cove (7/2), Midnight Flame (7/1), Sisters In The Sky (15/2), My Kind Of Girl (10/1), Bluebells Boy (14/1), Mellys Flyer (14/1), Liberty Bay (16/1), Malinheadsearovers (16/1), Alainn Tu (18/1), Darkened Edge (18/1), Autumn Flight (22/1), Lion Ring (22/1), Lynwood Lad (22/1), Savalas (28/1), More Than Likely (40/1), Close Of Play (66/1)

VOODOO RAY has returned in fine form, landing each of his last 2 starts at Brighton up to 7f, and he's fancied to handle this drop back in trip and make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick under a penalty. Sisters In The Sky and My Kind of Girl are others to consider, whilst Bluebells Boy is another who needs monitoring back on turf.
