Kiss Me My Love³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston| OR: 65| D

10/1

Fair filly posted a couple of creditable efforts on the AW in December/January but proved a disappointment after 10 weeks off when well held fifth of 7 at Wolverhampton (6.1f) last month. Entitled to be in the mix if she can bounce back.

Form: 0463-45

The Vital Spark⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 65

2/1

Speedy sort disappointed when well backed on penultimate outing but given a 3-month break, produced his best effort to date to get off the mark in narrow fashion at Newcastle (5f) last time. Faces a different test back on turf over 6f but it would be no surprise to see him go well again.

Form: 0640-1

Tarlac⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Scott| OR: 63

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden shaped with credit on his previous couple of starts, the latest back on turf when finish fifth in a 13-runner Doncaster handicap (7f). Remain to be seen if she proves as effective over this sharper test.

Form: 47-8645

Captain Pickles²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 59

11/1

Showed fair form in a 5f Chester maiden last season but two most recent efforts have been disappointing. Backed at long odds after 6 months off but finished well beaten in a 0-65 handicap at Newcastle 24 days ago. Significant improvement needed.

Form: 40868-8

Mister Sky Blue²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 57

7/4

Lightly-raced maiden showed improved form on second start in handicaps (following 6 months off) when a running on third in a 6f Pontefract handicap last month, having been slowly away. Looks up to winning a race of this nature.

Form: 5685-3

Unthinkable¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 50

66/1

Won a 5f Beverley claimer for George Boughey last May but regressed towards the end of last season for current connections. Forgiven her comeback effort 13 days ago when badly hampered but still has something to prove on second outing of the season.

Form: 96690-0

Forecasts

Mister Sky Blue (7/4), The Vital Spark (2/1), Tarlac (10/3), Kiss Me My Love (10/1), Yorkshire Myth (10/1), Captain Pickles (11/1), Unthinkable (66/1)

MISTER SKY BLUE ran on well from an unpromising position to finish third on reappearance last month and that performance suggests he should be up to winning this. Kiss Me MyLove was a disappointing last time but her previous form would give her a chance if she can bounce back, while last time out winner The Vital Spark cannot be ruled out if seeing out the extra furlong.
