Archangel Josepi¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 60

11/2

Modest form in five starts. Finished fourth of 7 in 7f course handicap 15 days ago. Often races off the pace making late headway so 1m well worth exploring.

Form: 03464

(6)

Popty Ping^p¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 57

5/1

Has shown improved form at this venue with recent placed efforts, finishing second of 7 in handicap 15 days ago despite not settling in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 247632

Crown The Future⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: Jack Morland| OR: 51

8/15

Low-key start but heavily backed and a completely different proposition when winning 7f nursery at Wolverhampton (10/11) with hood removed last week. Very much the one to beat under a penalty upped to 1m.

Form: 8561

(8)

Time For Action²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D Flood| OR: 56| D

28/1

Won a Bath handicap 33 days ago before finishing fifth of 6 in a handicap at Chelmsford City over 10f (11/2) 26 days ago, leading until over 1f out but weakening in the final half furlong. Return to 1m probably a good move.

Form: 779215

Dalamara⁵⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: B Haslam| OR: 54

16/1

Modest maiden who again showed little when seventh of 9 in 6f maiden at this course (200/1) 59 days ago. Tries a significant step up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 477

Mick The Vest¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 53

50/1

Sixth of 10 in 7f Newcastle maiden (150/1) 10 days ago, showing limited ability in three starts.

Form: 686

Harswell River^p⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: Roger Fell| OR: 53| D

50/1

Won at Redcar 69 days ago but form has dipped since, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 8 days ago when racing freely and weakening. Needs to settle better.

Form: 351866

(7)

Lope Harswell⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Mark Winn| T: Roger Fell| OR: 46

11/1

Struggled in turf sprints before showing improvement since stepping up in trip. Finished a promising second of 7 in a similar handicap at this C&D (6/1) 8 days ago, coming clear of the rest and keeping on well. One to bear in mind in similar company.

Form: 777742

Forecasts

Crown The Future (8/15), Popty Ping (5/1), Archangel Josepi (11/2), Lope Harswell (11/1), Dalamara (16/1), Time For Action (28/1), Harswell River (50/1), Mick The Vest (50/1)

CROWN THE FUTURE showed vastly-improved form when landing a gamble Wolverhampton last week and can defy a penalty to follow up. Lope Harswell has progressed nicely since switching to the AW and stepping up in trip, finishing a clear second over C&D 8 days ago. Popty Ping has also shown her best form at this track and is a player if settling better than last time.
