Rosieisme Darling¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: Hayley Burton| OR: 55| D

9/4

Off the mark at fifth attempt at Chelmsford (5f) in December and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago. This return to 5f rates a likely plus on that evidence and she's one to consider.

Form: 07921-4

Grand Echo^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

28/1

Best effort was third in a 6f novice here back in June but not replicated that in 4 handicap starts since, off 3 months/equipped with cheekpieces when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 7 days ago. Has it to prove now.

He Bangs The Drums^b1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 53

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in nursery (22/1) at Newcastle (6f) 26 days ago, weakening 1f out. Application of first-time blinkers needs to have positive effect now.

Kuiama^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 50| BF| D

3/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Creditable ¾-length third of 7 to Rosieisme Darling in nursery at Chelmsford City (5f, 11/4) 27 days ago, losing second on the line. Fully expected to be thereabouts again.

Rogue Rebellion¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 48

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, first run since leaving David O'Meara when sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago, not seen to best effect having been bumped early and racing freely. Yard do particularly well with similar types and he's not one to give up on yet.

Form: 859-6

A Lott Of Kane³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 46

3/1

Failed to beat a rival in trio of novice/maidens but he did at least show more despite being caught rather wide when fourth of 8 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f) 34 days ago. That's something to build on and it remains early days with him.

Form: 0774-

Dawn Melody²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 45

100/1

Shown nothing in six starts to date, weakening over 1f out when last of 8 in a C&D novice 4 weeks ago. Hard to make a case for returned to handicaps.

Forecasts

Rosieisme Darling (9/4), A Lott Of Kane (3/1), Kuiama (3/1), Rogue Rebellion (11/2), He Bangs The Drums (13/2), Havin A Flyer (7/1), Grand Echo (28/1), Dawn Melody (100/1)

Having confirmed previous promise when off the mark at Chelmsford in December, ROSIEISME DARLING was possibly stretched by the return to 6f when finishing a creditable fourth at Southwell 2 weeks ago. The drop back to the minimum trip rates a plus on that evidence and she looks a big player again from a handy draw. Kuiama rates the main danger, ahead of Rogue Rebellion and A Lott of Kane.
