Mahra's Love²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Burns| T: W J Haggas| OR: 70

5/2

Dark Angel filly who matched pick of her form when third of 7 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Switch to handicaps in her favour now tackling 7f for the first time and unlikely we've seen the best of her yet. Respected.

Form: 5-23

(13)

Saxonia²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Archie Young⁽³⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 70

9/2

Off the mark in maiden at Newcastle (1m) in February and held form well since, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Drop back in to class 5 company in his favour for all his draw could well have been kinder.

Form: 313244

Whizz By^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: T Ward| OR: 70| D

11/4

Rattled off an all-weather hat-trick at Southwell (7f) in January and hard to knock her consistency in defeat since, equipped with a tongue strap when second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 9/2) 22 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 1-12232

Pit Boss^p,t³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 69

22/1

Had first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap applied (also gelded) but offered little starting out for new yard/after 10 months off when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. This ought to reveal more.

Form: 452-0

(5)

Emporess¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67

8/1

First run since leaving Rod Millman when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 22/1) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip now but very best efforts have come with plenty of give underfoot.

Form: 41225-5

Berkshire Smudge^b1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

10/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at this course (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Blinkers on 1st time and he's not dismissed lightly from his easing mark.

Form: 856-738

(3)

Sabrimento^p,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 64

9/1

8/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 0-22660

Up The Monk^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Bass| T: Jack Jones| OR: 62

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago, weakening 2f out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 54380

(8)

Letsbeatsepsis^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

14/1

Blinkered for 1st time, fared no better than previously this season when tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces now the headgear of choice but plenty to prove at present.

Form: 334-900

(11)

Unknown Journey⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Alexandra McDonnell⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

16/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in maiden (50/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 66 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Paul Attwater and the betting can prove a useful guide stepping back significantly in trip.

Form: 460-437

(7)

Time After Time⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 47

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, well held seventh of 12 on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 0-807

Forecasts

Mahra's Love (5/2), Whizz By (11/4), Saxonia (9/2), Emporess (8/1), Sabrimento (9/1), Berkshire Smudge (10/1), Moostar (10/1), Letsbeatsepsis (14/1), Mighty Ruler (14/1), Unknown Journey (16/1), Pit Boss (22/1), Up The Monk (33/1), Time After Time (66/1)

This doesn't look as competitive as the numbers may suggest and it may well pay to side with William Haggas' handicap newcomer MAHRA'S LOVE. She's shaped with definite promise on each of her 3 runs in maiden/novice company and it would be surprising where she not capable of better still now tackling 7f for the first time. Whizz By is proving most consistent and is an obvious threat. Berkshire Smudge and Saxonia rate next best.
