Next Meeting 17th June Featuring Royal Ascot Handicap (Div 1)

Off time: 16:58 | Winning time: 1m 9.42s

(1)

Two Shoes²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 74

18/1

62,000 gns breeze-up buy who finished strongly to make a winning start to her career at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) last June but failed to make an impact in 2 subsequent starts. Poorly drawn when well beaten on reappearance at York. This is easier but she still has a bit to find.

Form: 194-0

(4)

Maddelina¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 73

13/2

Improved on debut form to get off the mark after 8 months off when landing a 4-runner novice at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, led dying strides. Well-bred sort is one to be interested in on handicap debut with the step up to 6f expected to suit.

Form: 3-1

(8)

Medinilla¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: J Channon| OR: 73| D

11/4

Promising Rumble Inthejungle filly has progressed with each start, returning better than ever from 8 months off when winning a 12-runner handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Remains open to improvement back on turf and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 61-1

(3)

Lorna B²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 72| D

4/1

Bred to be useful and proved much better for debut when winning 8-runner maiden (28/1) at Newcastle in March. Forgiven latest run over 7f at the same venue when badly hampered (keeping on at the time). Remains open to progress now handicapping.

Form: 0-16

(9)

Haazeez^p1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: C Fellowes| OR: 72

4/1

Showed promise under sympathetic handling when fifth in a big-field Newbury maiden (6f) this time last year but hasn't made the anticipated improvement in subsequent maiden starts, including on reappearance at Kempton in April. Could do better now handicapping with headgear applied for first time.

Form: 5265-8

(5)

Mayberry Moon³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 70| D

33/1

Won at Carlisle on debut last summer. Bled when last of 11 in novice at Pontefract (6f, good, 5/2) following month and offered little in first-time hood after 10 months off at Hamilton on reappearance 33 days go. Now goes handicapping and will likely need to improve.

Form: 10-5

(6)

Commander Atkinson²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 67

6/1

Placed in a pair of 5f handicaps in October but unable to match that form since, for all he ran better than on reappearance when third of 7 in seller at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 4/1) on final run for Geoff Oldroyd 24 days ago. New yard may revitalise her but this looks tough on stable debut.

Form: 0230-73

(7)

Lunar Force²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63

10/1

Creditable sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 16/1) on return 7 days ago, coming from further back than the principals and also meeting trouble. Race may have come to soon when disappointing at Catterick 7 days on and she could be worth another chance.

Form: 3344-64

(2)

Marry The Night^p⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

16/1

Twice a runner-up in nurseries last September but below form on final outing last season and on reappearance when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 58 days ago, looked rusty. Will need to step forward from that but isn't discounted on best of his 2-y-o form.

Form: 64228-5

Forecasts

Medinilla (11/4), Lorna B (4/1), Haazeez (4/1), Commander Atkinson (6/1), Maddelina (13/2), Lunar Force (10/1), Marry The Night (16/1), Two Shoes (18/1), Mayberry Moon (33/1)

MEDINILLA continued her progression when winning on first start as a 3-y-o last month and remains open to further improvement returning to turf. She's preferred to Maddelina, who was off the mark on second career start 2 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by the step up to 6f on handicap debut, with Lorna B another potential improver now handicapping.
