Needlepoint^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

6/4

Fairly useful filly. 11/1, won 7-runner maiden at Chantilly (5.5f, good to firm), Stepped up in trip last time out (38 days ago) when finishing third of 6 in a novice event at Chelmsford City (7f, 13/8). That run came off the back of a 17-month break so could come on for that. Cheekpieces applied.

Form: 1-3

8/13

Promising Lope De Vega colt who was tongue tied when a wide-margin winner of 11-runner novice at Kempton (6f) on her debut 97 days ago, dominating. Claims are crystal clear.

Form: 1

Big Time Rascal⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 60

22/1

Fair gelding. 40/1, first run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when third of 4 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) in November. Failed to build on that when seventh of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 9 days ago (looked awkward under pressure). Up in trip but plenty to find with the best of these.

Form: 9-26637

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: J & S Best

Forecasts

Zip It Up (8/13), Needlepoint (6/4), Swift Storm (6/1), Big Time Rascal (22/1), Bree Anna Poppy (80/1)

Assuming all is well following a 97-day break, ZIP IT UP should be able to make it two from two. Needlepoint rates as the obvious danger, trying cheekpieces and a new trip for the first time. Swift Storm can pick up the pieces in third.
