Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 58

5/1

80/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 59 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and probably best watched for now.

Stella Hogan^h,p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| BF| D

11/4

Latest win at Kempton in January. Good second of 8 in handicap (4/5) at the same course (8f) 17 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark here.

Form: 6854-12

Billy McGarry^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 57| C| D

Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 2/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Place possibilities.

Form: 468-723

Embarked^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 56| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 05-9883

28/1

18/1, first run since leaving James Ferguson when eighth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Opposable.

Form: 9/9589-8

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52| D

7/2

Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 14 days ago and others look stronger.

Form: 45336-5

Melsmay⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 45

16/1

Respectable fourth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 799-634

(4)

Hector's Left Foot²⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 45

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, fourteenth of 18 in novice at Doncaster (6f, firm). Off 8 months ahead of this handicap debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 990-

Forecasts

Stella Hogan (11/4), Billy McGarry (3/1), Flash The Dash (7/2), Pinjarra (5/1), Autumn Angel (5/1), Embarked (12/1), Melsmay (16/1), Timebar (16/1), Hector's Left Foot (25/1), Maith An Farhh (28/1)

This looks ripe for STELLA HOGAN, who made it third time lucky for this yard at Kempton last month and looked unlucky not to follow up back there five days later. She may have most to fear from Billy McGarry, while Autumn Angel is best of the rest.
