Currahee⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 55| C

9/4

Disappointing over longer trips in earlier handicap runs but much improved starting out for new stable when winning handicap over 7f here 6 days ago, the drop back in trip seemingly the catalyst. Penalty to carry but remains very much of interest with the step up to 1m holding no fears.

Form: 960-571

Unknown Journey²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

13/2

Maiden who hasn't shaped at all badly in 2 runs for new yard, fourth of 8 in 7f AW handicap at Kempton (15/2) 28 days ago, making headway in final furlong after being outpaced 2f out. Should appreciate this return to a mile and his mark has eased further ahead of this.

8/1

Harry Angel filly who made it fourth time lucky in 10-runner minor event at Yarmouth (1m) on penultimate start. However, not in the same form when fourth of 9 in similar company at Lingfield (7/2) 32 days ago, weakening in the final furlong. Makes handicap debut today.

Lambournghini¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy| T: P D Evans| OR: 51| D

9/4

Improved when opening her account in handicap at Chepstow (7f) last month and followed up in 8-runner minor event at Brighton (1m) 15 days ago. Progressive profile suggests more improvement could be forthcoming returned to handicaps. Player.

Capricorn King²⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: S Spencer| OR: 48

11/1

Made the places in handicaps, finishing third of 8 at Chelmsford (10f) when last seen in November, taking keen hold before staying on. Blinkers worn then discarded now starting out for new stable and interesting what the market makes of him.

Pretty Spirited¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 47

9/2

Improved in handicaps with a head second at Southwell (1m) and 4th at Wetherby. Fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8/1) 18 days ago, tracked pace but weakened when short of room final 100 yards. Dropping back to 1m could suit based on previous form.

Form: 85-2454

Platinum Babe^t1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45

33/1

Offered little in trio of quick-fire novice runs, weakening from 2f out when last of 6 at Newmarket (125/1) 26 days ago. Big step forward required now handicapping with a tongue tie added.

Form: 096

Jimmy Henry^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 45

22/1

Yet to win in 12 starts and he could only run to a similar level as previously when 5th of 7 in handicap at this track (7f) at 12/1 6 days ago, not settling fully but plugging on. More needed.

Form: 654655

Lady Monroe^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

150/1

Offered little all 5 starts to date and she's hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Lambournghini (9/4), Currahee (9/4), Pretty Spirited (9/2), Unknown Journey (13/2), Desert Charm (8/1), Capricorn King (11/1), Jimmy Henry (22/1), Platinum Babe (33/1), Lady Monroe (150/1)

CURRAHEE showed much improved form when successful for his new yard at this course 6 days ago and he's very much of interest again under a penalty. Lambournghini is thriving with two recent wins and rates a threat in her hat-trick bid. Pretty Spirited has been consistent and should appreciate the drop back to 1m.
