11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (200/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago. Needs to take a sizeable step forward now handicapping.

Piranha Rama^v1⁴⁸

6/1

Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 48 days ago. Her falling mark and the first-time visor are sources of hope.

Form: 7-62905

Jagetme²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, very good third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 22 days ago. Return to 6f could be a good move and she's a live each-way candidate.

Form: 040-3

Prince Of Joy^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: George Baker| OR: 57

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm, 25/1) 15 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Rogue Endeavour^p⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 56

22/1

(4)

Off The Bench¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: J S Moore| OR: 56

9/1

Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm, 11/2) 15 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Enters calculations.

Form: 859-394

(8)

Dark Sorceress^p1¹⁶

11/2

Winner at Chelmsford City in March. 5/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she should make her presence felt.

Form: 562-142

(11)

Pipkin¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: W S Kittow| OR: 45

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in novice at Kempton (6f, 300/1). Off 120 days and she is hard to warm to on this handicap debut

Form: 09-9

Forecasts

Rumba Bay (13/8), Jagetme (9/2), Dark Sorceress (11/2), Piranha Rama (6/1), Off The Bench (9/1), Maury (11/1), Oldbury Lad (14/1), Rogue Endeavour (22/1), Prince Of Joy (28/1), Lily's Symphony (33/1), Pipkin (40/1)

RUMBA BAY has done well for new connections this year and was arguably unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Nottingham, having ended up on the opposite flank to those that beat her after being taken off a true line by one of her rivals. She is appealing here off the same mark. Jagetme will be a danger to all if able to build on her improved handicap debut third at Lingfield, while Off The Bench and Piranha Rama also enter calculations.
