Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 82| DWS

15/2

Back on track when respectable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) but disappointed at Beverley 12 days on. Has since had a breathing operation and should be competitive if back on song.

Form: 5-55935

Elegant Erin²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 82| D

7/2

Has hit the frame in both starts at this track, latest a creditable second of 7 over C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. One to consider in current form.

Form: 51-5522

Angel Shared²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 80| D

5/1

Completed hat-trick of 5f handicaps last season. Ran creditably when third at Beverley on reappearance and is best forgiven latest run up in class at Chester when unsuited by the track. Dropped 2 lb by the handicapper and may get back on track down in class.

Form: 8302-30

Nad Alshiba Green²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| BF| D

10/3

Still lightly-raced for a sprinter and arrives in good form, respectable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago, unable to land a blow on an all the way winner. Should give another good account.

Form: 2134-23

Nightbird¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 74| D

17/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. No excuses when creditable third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm, 17/2) 18 days ago. Low mileage but will need to step forward to take this.

Form: 235-713

Galaxy Zoo³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 74| D

12/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on stable debut, staying on to lead line. Disappointed over the extra furlong on turf/handicap debut at Doncaster 36 days ago. Too soon to write off but improvement needed back over the minimum trip.

Form: 38-18

Tiva²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| D

13/2

€100,000 Mehmas filly was off the mark at the third attempt when landing a 5-runner novice at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 17/2) 28 days ago, readily. The form of that race hasn't worked out but she could improve now handicapping.

Form: 56-1

Smooth Silesie^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: L Williamson| OR: 67| CD

12/1

C&D winner likely needed the outing after 5 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 10 days ago. Should be competitive if stepping forward from that run.

Form: 34242-5

Forecasts

Nad Alshiba Green (10/3), Elegant Erin (7/2), Angel Shared (5/1), Tiva (13/2), Jacquelina (7/1), Grace Angel (15/2), Nightbird (17/2), Galaxy Zoo (12/1), Smooth Silesie (12/1)

This looks a more realistic assignment for ANGEL SHARED who had some fairly useful form in the book last season. She can get back on track at the expense of the consistent Nad Alshiba Green who arrives in excellent heart, with C&D winner Smooth Silesie expected to feature more prominently following a pipe-opener 10 days ago.
