Reenie's Dream⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 61

11/4

Showing steady improvement in handicaps with good efforts at Doncaster and Carlisle. Made the running when second of 12 in 6.9f handicap at Carlisle (9/2) 45 days ago, only caught in final 50 yards. Solid claims to get off the mark on return to the all-weather.

Form: 66432

Beauty Blossom³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61

18/1

Teofilo filly has gone with some promise, fourth of 5 in maiden (16/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 34 days ago when not knocked about. Respected on her handicap/all-weather debut.

Form: 654

Yafaarr⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: S England| OR: 59

9/2

Back on the up since joining current stable with two creditable efforts at this course. Third of 11 in handicap over 8f at Newcastle (7/2) 7 days ago. Should remain competitive dropped back to 7f.

Form: 0-58543

Pink Petunia^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 59

125/1

Poor form recently, ninth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (150/1) 11 days ago when retried in a hood and showed little. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 6-24009

Bantz¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: G Tutty| OR: 59| CD

12/1

C&D winner off 1 lb lower mark earlier in the season. Can have a line put through most recent start, finishing eighth of 9 over C&D (16/1) 15 days ago when denied a run. Slowly coming back down the weights but remains to be seen if he can capitalise.

Form: 029958

Volendam^h⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58

9/2

Twice second in maidens at this track and ran her best race when fourth of 12 in a 1m handicap at Haydock (18/1) 48 days ago, shaping as though she'd get further. One to consider in eased in grade.

Form: 5-22394

Ey Up He's A Star¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 57| BF

11/4

Returns to a course where he ran well when second over C&D 92 days ago, going like the best horse at the weights that day. Back in similar form finishing third of 11 in 7f handicap at Catterick Bridge (5/2) 17 days ago and no surprise to see him in the mix back on the all-weather.

Form: 5-83253

(3)

Uncle Sam¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: D Thompson| OR: 56| C

10/1

Sole win came at this course last October and returned in good form, placing twice at Thirsk. Not in the same form when seventh of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f) 17 days ago, beaten by more than the longer trip. Could bounce back on return to this track.

Form: 741-237

(4)

Tootsie¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50

16/1

Placed twice in summer handicaps. Below form last three starts but had some plausible excuses, eighth of 12 at Thirsk (15/2) 11 days ago, possibly not coping with soft ground. Could be worth another chance on return to all-weather.

Form: 233708

Forecasts

Ey Up He's A Star (11/4), Reenie's Dream (11/4), Yafaarr (9/2), Volendam (9/2), Uncle Sam (10/1), Bantz (12/1), Tootsie (16/1), Beauty Blossom (18/1), Pink Petunia (125/1)

REENIE'S DREAM has been shaping well in handicaps, only caught late when attempting to make all at Carlisle last time and she's taken to open her account at the expense of Yafaarr, who showed improved form for his new stable when third over 1m here last week. Volendam arrives on the back of a career-best fourth in a better race at Haydock and is one to consider down in grade.
