Pure Elegance At 3A's Leisure Handicap

Racing Demon^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: E De Giles| OR: 60

7/2

5-time winner over 1m but can be a tricky customer. Made more impact than on previous starts this season when fourth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 15 days ago, not ideally placed in a modestly-run race. Well treated on best form but comes with risks attached over this trip.

Form: 37-8074

King's Castle²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 59| D

6/1

Fair 10f Flat winner who rattled off a hurdles 4-timer at Market Rasen (16.6f) for Jeremy Scott last year. Switched yards since finishing sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f) when last seen 8 months ago and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Form: 05495/7

Zambezi Magic¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Aidan Keeley| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 56| CD

4/1

Twice a winner over C&D last season and hasn't been disgraced in two starts this season. Slowly edging back down the weights and is one to keep an eye on in the betting (well backed on most recent victory here).

Form: 2136-57

City Escape^b,e/s²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: T E Whelan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 56| CD

14/1

C&D winner was typically slowly away when a creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm, 7/2) 24 days ago. Is back below her last winning mark but will need a bit of luck given her running style.

Sense Of Reason^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Fellowes| OR: 55

18/1

Ran best race over 10f on soft ground when runner-up at Nottingham on final start last season (wore first time cheekpieces). Shaped better than the result on comeback (gelded in the interim) when he raced wider than ideal. Entitled to come on for that and one to be interested with headgear refitted.

Form: 79062-5

Baikal^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 53| D

11/2

Backed up solid effort over hurdles when good second of 5 in a handicap at this course (12f, soft) 8 days ago, unlucky not to get closer to the winner (blindfold removed late, not clear run from 2f out). One for the shortlist back over 10f.

Form: 7-12852

Girls Night Out²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 60

7/2

Offered something to work with on final qualifying run and matched that on handicap debut (after 8 months off) when fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Windsor (10f, good) 21 days ago. Entitled to be sharper for that and is open to improvement on second start of the season.

Form: 864-4

Pistrucci^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: W Greatrex| OR: 60

18/1

Career best in first-time cheekpieces when third at Windsor over 11.5f (had dictated race) on penultimate start. Wasn't in the same form over 10f at the same track earlier this month but lightly-raced sort looks worth another chance.

Form: 94-6637

Cardinal Point^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: M L W Bell| OR: 57

16/1

Left Charlie Appleby after final (2024) outing and has offered little in handicaps for current connections. Handicapper has given her a chance and she could have more of an impact in a first-time visor.

Form: 26-7008

Forecasts

Girls Night Out (7/2), Racing Demon (7/2), Zambezi Magic (4/1), Baikal (11/2), King's Castle (6/1), Three Yorkshiremen (13/2), City Escape (14/1), Cardinal Point (16/1), Sense Of Reason (18/1), Pistrucci (18/1)

SENSE OF REASON ran her best race to date when runner-up on final start last season and, having shaped as though in need of the outing on reappearance at Pontefract earlier this month, she appeals most with cheekpieces now refitted. Pistrucci could be worth another chance to build on the promise he showed at Windsor on penultimate start, while Cardinal Point has been given a chance by the handicapper if more severe headgear can do the trick.
