Atlantic Gamble^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 80| D

8/1

A winner of 6 races on turf/all-weather last year but seemingly ticking over in 3 runs this season, eighth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Could do better back down in class if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.

Form: 311-008

Hitched^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Charles Bishop| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80| D

20/1

Enjoyed a busy all-weather campaign, latest win coming at Lingfield in April. Looked rusty back on turf (following 7 weeks off) when last of 5 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 20/1) 17 days ago. Returns to all-weather and should be competitive.

Coppersmith¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 80| D

28/1

Debut winner of a 1m Kempton maiden (race which threw up subsequent winners) and backed that up when landing 11-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March last year. Sold from Charlie Johnston for only 8,000 gns and offered little on stable/handicap debut following 14-month absence. Needs more.

Form: 11-0

Sheriff's Court¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Poppy Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 80

5/1

Made a winning debut in France during the autumn. Some promise in maidens for this yard but failed to improve on handicap debut (28/1) when eleventh of 15 here (7f) 18 days ago. May well do better in due course and is worth a market check on only second handicap start for shrewd yard.

Form: 1-480

Pitney^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: M J Attwater| OR: 79| D

125/1

Below form on three starts for current connections, latest with tongue strap on for first time (now removed) when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away. Plenty to prove.

Form: 741-000

Radiant Beauty^h,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 77| D

9/1

2 wins this year but isn't the easiest to predict. On a going day following 3 months off when winning 13-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 18/1) 29 days ago, digging deep. Chance if she can back that up.

Form: 52-1961

Waiting For Love¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Tate| OR: 77

15/2

Built on debut run with a fairly useful effort when winning a 1m maiden at Wolverhampton in December. Disappointed under a penalty when fourth of 11 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 9/4) later that month, pulled hard. Will need to settle better on return but could have more to offer now handicapping

Form: 214-

(5)

Dubai Beach^h⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 70| D

1/1

Promising second in a 1m Kempton novice last season and produced a career best over the same C&D on handicap debut 8 days ago, still raced freely in first time hood but travelled well and put the race to bed quickly. Open to further improvement and sound claims of following up under a penalty.

Form: 7/2-71

(6)

Shimmering Spin^t1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 74

11/1

Promising reappearance at this course in February but below form in three starts since (has looked fairly awkward off the bridle). Remains to be seen if she has more impact down in class with first time tongue tie fitted.

Form: 28-2750

Forecasts

Dubai Beach (1/1), Sheriff's Court (5/1), Waiting For Love (15/2), Atlantic Gamble (8/1), Radiant Beauty (9/1), Shimmering Spin (11/1), Hitched (20/1), Coppersmith (28/1), Pitney (125/1)

Strong-travelling DUBAI BEACH made a winning start to life in handicaps when hooded for the first time at Kempton 8 days ago and may well be able to follow up under a penalty on only her fifth career start. Waiting For Love could be open to improvement now switched to handicap company on her return, while Radiant Beauty could prove a danger if in the same form as she showed at Kempton last time.
