(1)

My Clementine^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 50| CD

3/1

C&D winner off this mark last season and offered encouragement on reappearance over C&D prior to finding 1m in testing conditions here too much earlier this month. Makes appeal back on better ground over 7f.

Form: 5640-65

Too Much Trevor¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 49

13/2

Best run for current connections came when runner-up over C&D (hung badly left) in May and has proved a difficult ride in two subsequent starts at this course, never travelling here on penultimate outing prior to blowing all chance at the start last time. One to treat with caution.

Form: 5-06267

Ajrad^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: B R Millman| OR: 46| C| D

3/1

Course winner off this mark last season and shaped as though still in form when fifth here on penultimate start, though again looked a difficult ride without usual headgear when well held at Leicester last month. Remains to be seen if she can bounce back with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 874450

Rotation^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 55

12/1

Hasn't looked like winning since getting off the mark on second career start in a Leicester seller but has been given a chance by the handicapper having likely needed the run when finishing last (following 4 months off) at Brighton. Well handicapped on best form and a strongly run 7f could suit.

Form: 7647-66

(5)

Marisitta^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 46

13/2

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Runner-up at this course earlier this month but failed to back that up when ridden more aggressively over 1m here 7 days ago. Something to prove back at 7f.

Form: 6-88427

(4)

Letter Of The Law^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45| C| D

12/1

Tends to be at his best from the front and made all over this C&D off 2 lb higher mark last season. Form this season has been in and out, well held over 1m here 16 days ago but could be competitive back at 7f if on a going day.

Form: 9-90278

(6)

Lambournghini¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Joe Leavy| T: P D Evans| OR: 47

4/1

Lightly-raced and best effort to date came when runner-up behind a subsequent winner on handicap debut at Ripon (1m) last month. Wasn't in the same form back down in grade at Yarmouth last month, having made the running. Drops back to 7f and too soon to write off yet.

Form: 87024

Pipkin³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: W S Kittow| OR: 45

40/1

Little impact in novice company and still only ran to a poor level on handicap debut seventh of 11 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Will need to step up markedly to be of interest here.

Form: 09-97

Forecasts

Ajrad (3/1), My Clementine (3/1), Lambournghini (4/1), Too Much Trevor (13/2), Marisitta (13/2), Rotation (12/1), Letter Of The Law (12/1), Pipkin (40/1)

ROTATION ran creditably in all-weather handicaps over the winter and has been given a chance by the handicapper following his reappearance run at Brighton last month. He likely needed the run that day and looks on a good mark if he can bounce back to his best form in a weak race. My Clementine races off the same mark as when winning over C&D last season and could be worth another chance, while Letter of The Law isn't the easiest to predict nowadays but could be competitive if on a going day.
