Borderline Madness²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: W Stone| OR: 55

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 12 in nursery (40/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago, keeping on having been left with too much to do. Respected operating from 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 89784

Flaine^t¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 53| BF

11/4

Winner at Southwell (7f) in November and posted solid efforts both subsequent outings, second of 11 in nursery (5/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Has to be taken seriously with the return to 1m in her favour.

Form: 070122

No Release^b¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 52

5/1

14/1, creditable sixth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago, headway over 1f out without landing a blow. No forlorn hope back down in trip.

Aneedah Hero^t⁹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 52

3/1

Well held all 3 starts in novice company at up to 1m during the summer but gelded ahead of return/handicap debut and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 040

Harryella²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 52

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 12 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW, 150/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut but progress anticipated.

Form: 709

Perfect Parole^t1,p1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 50

33/1

Visored for 1st time, tenth of 12 in nursery (50/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago, weakening final 1f. Application of cheekpieces/tongue tie need to have positive effect ahead of this.

Form: 057750

Galette^p²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 47

20/1

40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in nursery at this C&D 28 days ago, losing place approaching final 1f. Each-way claims possibly her best hope.

Form: 035774

15/2

Creditable fourth of 8 in nursery at this course (10f, 12/1) 35 days ago, challenging over 1f out and one paced. Another in with an each-way squeak from her basement mark.

Form: 734334

(7)

Astroqualis^p³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Jonny Peate| T: M Crawley| OR: 45

50/1

Offered little in trio of runs in novice company during the summer and yet to better poor form in handicaps, fifth of 8 in nursery at this course (10f, 50/1) 35 days ago. More needed

Form: 000655

Forecasts

Flaine (11/4), Aneedah Hero (3/1), No Release (5/1), Harryella (11/2), Good Call (15/2), Borderline Madness (17/2), Galette (20/1), Perfect Parole (33/1), Astroqualis (50/1), Just Dawned On Me (80/1)

FLAINE has proved to be a different proposition since fitted with a tongue tie, off the mark at Southwell prior to posting good runner-up efforts on each of her last 2 starts. With the return to this 1m trip expected to suit, David Loughnane's filly is fancied to make another bold bid. Borderline Madness and No Release may provide chief resistance.
