Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 69| BF

4/1

Strong in the betting and duly shaped well when fifth at Windsor on handicap bow/return last month, undone by the combination of 8-month break and racing freely. Can do better still.

15/8

Much improved switched to handicaps this season, stepping up on reappearance run when scoring with a little more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Kempton last month. Remains of strong interest (will go on improving).

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 59

12/1

Decent start for this yard when fourth at Nottingham 19 days ago after 3 months off. Entitled to come on for that so she's no forlorn hope.

Forecasts

Opening Bat (15/8), Fitzmaurice (4/1), Saxonia (5/1), Appleblossomwhite (7/1), The Hrse Horse (8/1), Kaleidoscope Eyes (12/1), Mini Mac (14/1), Jiff's Army (14/1), Political Power (16/1), Jack Andrea (40/1)

OPENING BAT has made a bright start to handicaps this season and remains one to keep on the right side of. Fitzmaurice shaped with plenty of promise on his handicap bow/return at Windsor and is a clear next best, with Appleblossomwhite and Saxonia best of the others.
