Eager Puccini¹³

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 11 in novice (150/1) at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

No Release^b²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 49

13/2

8/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 29 days ago. Blinkers back on and, though record stands at 0-14, he should make his presence felt.

Form: 724249

(12)

Ballarat Bertie^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 48

3/1

15/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Solid claims.

Magna²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

4/1

12/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 29 days ago, clear of rest. Surely just a matter of time before this filly deservedly gets her head in front.

Form: 0-69222

I Can Boogy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 47

Mission In Malton²⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 45

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm). Off 8 months and significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. One to note in the betting.

Form: 000-

Big Gypsy King¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: P & O Cole| OR: 45

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f). Off 6 months ahead of this handicap/yard debut and market should guide.

Form: 900-

My Boy Harry¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 45

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Darryll Holland when fifth of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this tapeta debut and probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 008-5

(5)

Clipsham Noble¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 45

33/1

Visored for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 378-787

(7)

Pretty Spirited¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 45

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, fifth of 6 in novice at Redcar (7f, good), slowly away. Off 6 months and will need to leave previous efforts well behind if she's to have a say on this handicap debut.

Form: 485-

Forecasts

Ballarat Bertie (3/1), Big Gypsy King (4/1), Magna (4/1), Mission In Malton (6/1), Perfect Parole (6/1), No Release (13/2), I Can Boogy (15/2), Pacific Man (16/1), Eager Puccini (20/1), My Boy Harry (25/1), Clipsham Noble (33/1), Pretty Spirited (66/1)

MAGNA is closely matched with Ballarat Bertie on a line through Bay of Dreams, a rival they both came up against last time out, and it's unlikely that there will be much between them here. Marginal preference is for Magna, who has been knocking firmly on the door of late and a deserved first win could be in the offing. No Release is best of the rest, though each-way cases can also be made for I Can Boogy and Perfect Parole.
