Marioento^b,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 69| D

5/2

5/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chepstow (1½m, soft) 8 days ago. Could still be well treated off 8 lb higher.

Moon Angel²⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 68

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m, AW), needing stiffer test. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Harry Eustace. Check the betting.

Forest Hills²⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: B R Millman| OR: 64| C

8/1

Course winner last August. Off since a below-par effort at Windsor in September. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations on return.

Shady Bay^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 64

5/1

16/1, bit below form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (1½m, good) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 15-8425

Eton Blue²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 62| D

20/1

Disappointing when sixth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Brighton (1½m, good) 25 days ago. The hood he wore then is left off now.

Form: 769-466

Fair Dinkum^p,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Scott| OR: 61

4/1

Creditable second of 6 over 1¾m here (good to firm) last month and another good effort when third at Bath since. Likely to be in the thick of things.

Form: 548-523

(6)

Spectacular Style¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 59| D

4/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (12.5) when last seen in March (final start for Roger Varian). Has switched to a shrewd stable and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Form: 0-37995

Forecasts

Marioento (5/2), Spectacular Style (4/1), Fair Dinkum (4/1), Shady Bay (5/1), Forest Hills (8/1), Moon Angel (17/2), Eton Blue (20/1)

Things did set up nicely for MARIOENTO at Chepstow but the overriding impression is that she's an improved performer since a blinkers and tongue tie have been combined and she can defy a rise in the weights. Fair Dinkum has been in good form lately and may give George Boughey's charge most to do.
