Papas Grandchildren Handicap

Off time: 16:05 | Winning time: 1m 9.16s

(1)

Melissa Honey²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 60

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 80/1), slowly away. Off 7 months and she needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 8389-

(4)

Bow Street³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: K P De Foy| OR: 59| D

3/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights (now 6 lb below the mark off which he scored at Newcastle during the autumn) and he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 16-5460

(10)

Spring Corn^p1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

14/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and will likely come up short once more, unless the headgear has a revelatory effect.

Form: 3035-79

(3)

Up The Monk^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Jack Jones| OR: 58

14/1

33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) 15 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 543800

(9)

Triple Charged^b1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: L Williamson| OR: 57

66/1

Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 6 days ago. Unless the addition of blinkers works the oracle, he will probably find a few too good once more.

Form: 986870

(8)

Lima Sierra¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 56| D

15/8

2/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. 4 lb rise tolerable and she's more appealing than most in this contest.

Form: 6-64421

(12)

Brave Bob¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 54

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 125/1) 14 days ago. Big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 0-60

(5)

Miss Cast^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51

20/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Respectable third off a 4 lb higher mark at Ripon early last month and a reproduction of that effort would give her a fighting chance.

Form: 56-0350

(2)

Andalseeyagraham¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50| D

12/1

Winner at Newcastle in December. 16/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Yard saddles a far stronger candidate in Lima Sierra.

Form: 401-406

(7)

Sanbona^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: M Dods| OR: 49

15/2

Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Live each-way claims.

Form: 0-94336

(6)

Baby Rover¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: K Scott| OR: 45

10/1

6/1, 2 lengths fifth of 8 to Lima Sierra in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 677445

Forecasts

Lima Sierra (15/8), Bow Street (3/1), Sole Spirit (9/2), Sanbona (15/2), Baby Rover (10/1), Brave Bob (10/1), Andalseeyagraham (12/1), Spring Corn (14/1), Up The Monk (14/1), Miss Cast (20/1), Melissa Honey (25/1), Triple Charged (66/1)

It's not hard to reach the conclusion that LIMA SIERRA is the most likely winner. Indeed, she arrives here on the back of a recent success at Catterick and appears to be going the right way, whereas most of these have seemingly shown their full hand already. Bow Street has slipped to an attractive mark and, along with Miss Cast and Sanbona, he makes each-way appeal.
