(10)

Thatsthewayitis²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: Sarah Hollinshead

250/1

Once-raced maiden. Last of 13 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 300/1) on debut 21 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 0

Big Leader²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| D

7/5

€130,000 yearling, Mehmas gelding who belied market weakness when winning 4-runner maiden at Redcar (8f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, asserting final 1f for hands and heels riding. Feasible to think he can do better.

Form: 1

(5)

Susie Sioux

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: J Mackie

100/1

Sioux Nation mare. Dam unraced. Rates a likely outsider on this belated racecourse debut.

(2)

Rumba Numba²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

3/1

Too Darn Hot filly who proved a totally different proposition with her debut run behind her when landing 10-runner maiden (33/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago, asserting for just hands and heels riding. Hails from a talented family and of interest with further progress in the offing.

Form: 61

(3)

Panelli¹⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey

2/1

Son of Kingman who took a step forward from his debut/after 5 months off (gelded) when second of 6 in novice at Lingfield (7f) in January. Absent again subsequently but a repeat gives him definite claims here.

Form: 8-2

(1)

Sir Hannibal

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: P Attwater

33/1

€35,000 yearling, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to German 9f winner Santenay. Dam, French 1½m/12.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1¾m-15.5f winner Sevenna's Knight.

Form:

The English Rogue⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E Bethell

7/1

50,000 gns New Bay colt who ran to a fair level when fourth of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 46 days ago. In good hands and he appeals as a likely improver with that run under his belt.

Form: 4

(7)

Very Muddy Waters⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll

50/1

Showcasing gelding who offered plenty to work on when runner-up in a Redcar novice (7f) on sole start as a 2-y-o. Rather disconcerting he went backwards from that on return from 7 months off when last of 6 in novice at Thirsk (1m) 56 days ago and handicaps promise to be more his bag.

Form: 2-6

(8)

Lady Sonata¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Mark Winn| T: I Furtado

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, good) 11 days ago, racing well off the pace and never a threat. Another who will prove better suited to handicaps moving forward.

Form: 80

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Big Leader (7/5), Panelli (2/1), Rumba Numba (3/1), The English Rogue (7/1), Breakdancer (8/1), Sir Hannibal (33/1), Very Muddy Waters (50/1), Susie Sioux (100/1), Lady Sonata (250/1), Thatsthewayitis (250/1)

RUMBA NUMBA proved a totally different proposition with her debut run under her belt when a good winner of a Wolverhampton maiden 26 days ago, asserting for hands and heels riding. Hailing from a talented family and very much appealing as the type to progress further, Roger Varian's filly is fancied to follow up under a penalty. Panelli on return from a break, The English Rogue and Big Leader head up the dangers.
