Balmy Breese^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable ¾-length third of 11 to Lion's Dream in minor event over C&D 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Possibilities.

Banana^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 46

28/1

Long-standing maiden. Only tenth of 11 to Lion's Dream in minor event over C&D (17/2) 12 days ago. Others appeal more.

17/2

Five-time course winner but he came in just eighth of 9 in handicap (16/1) over C&D 3 days ago, doing too much too soon. Still needs to take a step forward.

Form: 598048

Forecasts

Mashaan (10/11), Nordic Glory (9/2), Lion's Dream (5/1), Global Effort (8/1), Red Walls (17/2), Balmy Breese (16/1), Savalas (18/1), Banana (28/1), We're Reunited (28/1), Himawari (33/1), Posh Maisie (100/1)

Alice Haynes' MASHAAN holds a clear edge at these weights so is taken to follow up his recent Lingfield handicap victory at the chief expense of C&D scorer Lion's Dream. Fellow C&D scorers Nordic Glory and Global Effort also need factoring into this competitive classified event.
