Khutulun^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S D Bowen| T: J Ferguson| OR: 61| D

11/4

Mohaather filly who made a successful handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces over 7f in September and backed that up when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7.2f) a month later. Wasn't disgraced back from 76 days off when creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f). Back at 7f with claims.

Form: 59912-6

Berning Hot¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 60

33/1

Fared no better when last of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago, having been slowly away. Others have stronger claims.

Form: 74400-8

18/1

66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago. Up in trip but others make much more appeal.

Miakoda^h1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Darragh Keenan| T: James Owen| OR: 57

7/1

Well-backed on first run since leaving Richard Hannon when sixth of 8 in handicap (6/4) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) before not seen to best effect in blinkers (removed today) when seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Interesting to see if market support comes his way in first-time hood.

Form: 4293-67

Forecasts

Khutulun (11/4), Watkins (10/3), Ornately (7/2), Mrbluesky (7/2), Miakoda (7/1), Fortunas Dream (15/2), Piranha Rama (17/2), Mystical Elegance (18/1), Berning Hot (33/1)

KHUTULUN perhaps wasn't best-suited by the mile last time and is still in good form, so she hets the nod. Ornately is a fascinating handicap debutante who is bred to be much better than her current mark.
