Piranha Rama²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 62

15/2

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 50/1) 23 days ago, caught wide and weakening over 1f out. Could bounce back from a handy draw back up in trip.

Form: 17-6290

Francis Drake^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 62

3/1

Belardo gelding who matched previous best 9modest form) when fourth of 8 in maiden at this course (8f, AW, 5/1) 23 days ago, having run of race. In good hands so feasible to think he can do better now handicapping. One to monitor in the betting for clues.

Form: 484

Summer Of Light^h1¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: D P Quinn| OR: 62

28/1

Fair maiden at best but ended time with Michael Wigham well below form, weakening over 1f out when tenth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 25/1) in November. Hood reached for now starting out for new yard and others more persuasive.

Form: 573280-

Belabambina^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 61

18/1

Coulsty filly who left pair of exploits as a 2-y-o behind after 6 months off when close-up sixth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 150/1) 25 days ago, running on. That may not be the most robust piece of form but switch to handicaps definitely in her favour now.

Form: 70-6

Spoilt⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 60

33/1

Down the field first 2 starts and much better on qualifying run when staying on second of 8 in a C&D maiden 7 weeks ago. Opening mark demands further progress now handicapping.

Form: 6-92

(9)

Private Island⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 60

7/2

Twilight Son filly who has finished midfield at best in 3 maiden/novice events at up to 7f spread over 5 months. However, pedigree/connections offer definite optimism for better now handicapping and she's one to note.

Form: 6-67

Hidden Verse^p1²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 59

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in novice at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 20/1) in August. Off 7 months/equipped with cheekpieces ahead of this switch to handicaps and booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye.

Form: 047-

Risk^v1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 59

8/1

Maiden who has stepped up a little on the back of a short break, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor on 1st time and considered back at 7f.

Form: 8704-34

Ceira G¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael Keady| OR: 56| BF| D

5/1

Confirmed promise of stable debut effort when opening her account at Chelmsford (7f) in February. Similar form when runner-up in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 17 days ago and fancied to be thereabouts again.

Form: 956-612

Forecasts

Francis Drake (3/1), Private Island (7/2), Hidden Verse (4/1), Ceira G (5/1), Piranha Rama (15/2), Broadhaven Bay (15/2), Risk (8/1), Belabambina (18/1), Summer Of Light (28/1), Spoilt (33/1)

RISK confirmed the improvement he showed when third on his penultimate start when fourth in a Southwell handicap 6 weeks ago and he could be the answer with a first-time visor now enlisted. Ceira G ran another solid race when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently and she's entitled to be in the mix again. Private Island and Francis Drake are handicap newcomers to note for good yards.
