10/1

Successful 3 times in 6f/7f handicaps at Newcastle this year, the latest a narrow success off this mark in March. Not quite so good returned to turf the last twice, though, for all that there were mitigating circumstances at Ayr recently.

Albeseeingyer¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 70| CD

10/1

Winner of final 3 starts of 2022 and continued the good work when bagging heavy-ground handicaps at Doncaster and Leicester on first 2 runs of a truncated campaign last year. Failed to build on reappearance spin back at Doncaster recently but she goes on fast ground and is 2-2 over this C&D.

Red Pixie²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 79| BF

11/8

Well-bred filly who has made the frame on each of her 3 starts, just touched off in a 6f Windsor novice (good to firm) earlier this month. Open to improvement back up in trip for this handicap debut and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 4-32

Lokana¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

18/1

Put her experience to good use to get off the mark after 8 months off in 10-runner maiden at Thirsk (7f, soft) in May. Wasn't disgraced switched to a handicap when third at Catterick later that month but she was beaten a long way upped to a mile at Sandown 11 days ago.

Form: 335-137

Misemerald¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 75| D

10/1

Landed maiden/novice events at Beverley/Ayr last summer and posted best effort of this season so far when fourth of 13 in a higher-grade handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 11 days ago. Not without each-way hope eased in class back on a stiffer track.

Form: 200-764

Tayala¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 71| D

15/2

Opened her account at Kempton (7f) in April and has performed with credit back on turf the last twice, latterly finding just one too good in a 10-runner Newbury handicap (1m, good to firm). Place possibilities.

Form: 36-1242

Blufferonthebus⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 66| C

8/1

Off the mark over 6f at Pontefract in April and doubled her tally in a 1m handicap here (good to firm) last month. Latest near-miss over C&D (soft) was arguably her best effort yet and she has leading claims off the same mark.

Forecasts

Red Pixie (11/8), Quandary (11/2), Gentle Ellen (6/1), Tayala (15/2), Blufferonthebus (8/1), Albeseeingyer (10/1), Sibyl Charm (10/1), Misemerald (10/1), Lokana (18/1)

QUANDARY has been threatening to come good on the all-weather this year and she can deliver on that promise now returned to turf. Indeed, the 4-y-o is likely to benefit from the switch to a stiffer track and she remains on a workable mark. Blufferonthebus is proving consistent and is feared most ahead of handicap debutante Red Pixie and Gentle Ellen.
