Packetofbiscuits^b1⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 72

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 5 in nursery at this C&D (15/2) 43 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and may well do better in time for his shrewd yard.

Form: 4725-

(5)

Blue Seeker³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 71| CD

10/11

Promising sort. 6/5, career best when winning 11-runner nursery at this C&D 33 days ago, plenty in hand. 8 lb rise tolerable and, with the potential for even better, he's very high on the shortlist.

Form: 8651-

(7)

Panama Black¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 70

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago, well positioned. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 804-3

(6)

Blue Empress²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 70

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, third of 6 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair but she does need to find some improvement.

Form: 62-3

Kildonan^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 69

12/1

Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 36017-7

(3)

Jane Garfield^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 66

125/1

12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 8 days ago. Opposable on recent evidence.

Form: 5646-88

(8)

McKenna^b1,t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 63| BF

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better and perhaps the addition of blinkers will aid his cause here.

Form: 455-8

Forecasts

Blue Seeker (10/11), Panama Black (7/2), Blue Empress (13/2), Packetofbiscuits (8/1), McKenna (10/1), Kildonan (12/1), Lightning Force (25/1), Jane Garfield (125/1)

There was much to like about the way BLUE SEEKER did the job on his handicap debut last month and an 8 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to prevent this unexposed gelding from going in again. Panama Black is gradually progressing and he could be the one for the forecast, though McKenna is also a viable candidate for that role.
