2/5

Took his record in 1¾m handicaps to 3-3 when comfortably seeing off 7 rivals at Yarmouth last Friday. Should go well under a 6 lb penalty.

Form: 6-41131

Shadowofyoursmile³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: C Fellowes| OR: 65

12/1

From a good family but little better than modest form to date, finishing a well-held third on his 1¾m Redcar handicap debut 5 weeks ago. Early days but he needs improvement.

Form: 9-733

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 64

11/2

Behind The Crafty Mole when placing in handicaps over this trip at Wetherby and Redcar in the spring. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 756-32

Sovereignlightcafe²⁶

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (50/1) at this course (1m, good to firm) 26 days ago. Steps up significantly in trip for his handicap debut. Worth a look in the betting.

Forecasts

The Crafty Mole (2/5), Nancy P (7/2), Believitanducan (11/2), Elforleather (11/1), Shadowofyoursmile (12/1), Sovereignlightcafe (22/1), Greenlightforgo (33/1)

THE CRAFTY MOLE ran out a convincing winner at Yarmouth last week and might be able to extend his winning sequence in 1¾m handicaps to 4. Last month's Lingfield scorer Nancy P is feared most ahead of Believeitanducan, who has been placed behind the selection on his 2 outings this season and meets him on better terms this time.
