33/1

10/1 and visored for first time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 25 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey and this is a drop in class.

7/4

Much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in May. 7/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago, nicely clear of the rest and she remains of serious interest.

Form: 66-812

Cheeky Stanley¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Baker| OR: 58| BF| D

12/1

Well prepared to make a winning handicap debut/reappearance at Chelmsford City in March. 9/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 13 days ago. Return to 6f probably in his favour.

Form: 564-194

Hidden Verse²³

11/4

C&D winner last month. 7/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. That clearly wasn't his running and he's a player if bouncing back.

Form: 994137

Forecasts

Fancy Dancer (7/4), Hidden Verse (11/4), Rogue Endeavour (7/2), Cider Bob (9/1), Sun Keeper (10/1), Cheeky Stanley (12/1), Letsbeatsepsis (14/1), Off The Bench (16/1), Sundiata Keita (33/1), Lady Monroe (50/1), Havana's Dream (50/1)

FANCY DANCER cemented an excellent start to her handicap career when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and in the hope she's as good on turf, she looks the one to beat. The return to 6f may suit Cheeky Stanley so he's second choice, ahead of Hidden Verse.
