Baker Blue¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Kyle Strydom| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 87

9/2

Won a novice at Southwell after leaving Mrs J. Harrington but fourth of 5 in handicap there (11/4) 12 days ago, running inefficiently and best not judged on that. More races could be won back down in trip.

Form: 421-424

Grey Horizon^v⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 74| C

17/2

Has won 4 of his last 5 starts, completing a hat-trick at this course in late January. Won 5-runner handicap at Southwell (9/2) 6 days ago, finding extra under pressure to cling on by a short-head. Racing off 8 lb here, however.

Form: 3-11131

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| D

25/1

Won a 5f maiden at Ripon in June but struggled in two subsequent starts in listed company. Makes handicap debut on first AW start and first run for new yard.

Form: 22158-

Justmyluck³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 77| D

6/1

Much improved to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle (14/1) 38 days ago, travelling well and leading comfortably. Up 6 lbs but looks a sprinter on the up.

Form: 6523-1

Filly Foden¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan| T: B R Millman| OR: 75| D

10/3

Not long with this yard and has won her last 2 races having previously struggled to get off the mark, finding another chunk of improvement to win convincingly at Lingfield (9/4) 10 days ago. Up 12 lbs but firmly on the up now and looks sure to go well again.

Form: 22-2311

(2)

Flash Rascal¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 70

4/1

Free-going sort who posted another solid effort when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (9/4) 14 days ago, a wider challenge probably costing victory. Can go close again.

Form: 0133-32

Forecasts

Fortification (11/4), Filly Foden (10/3), Flash Rascal (4/1), Baker Blue (9/2), Justmyluck (6/1), Grey Horizon (17/2), Duskaura (25/1)

FILLY FODEN is firmly on the up now having not been with this yard long and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Flash Rascal continues to hold his form and might have won with a more efficient route over C&D a fortnight ago, while Justmyluck made a winning handicap debut in good style at Newcastle.
