4YO plus | Class 6 | 1m 2f | 8 Runners | Polytrack

(5)

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 60

Promise when fourth on debut over C&D last August and showed more despite remaining over an inadequate trip when seventh in a handicap at Kempton over 1m (66/1) just over a fortnight ago. Return to 1¼m a plus so one to consider.

Form: 4-777

(8)

Beachborough Girl^t⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr R Birkett| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 59| CD

In good form for Alice Haynes before making a winning start for new yard in 9-runner C&D handicap in January, always holding on. Backed that up despite again showing quirks when third at Southwell 3 weeks later and each-way claims from same mark.

Form: 6243-13

Silkies Sib^v⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Evie Lee⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 58| BF| CD

C&D scorer last month who shaped as if still in top form when third of 11 at Wolverhampton 9 days ago. Being kept busy and deserves credit for consistency,

Form: 332213

Crafter^b1⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Jack Loughnane⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58| D

Hasn't fired since returning from missing last summer. Tried in blinkers for the first time (tongue tie discarded).

Form: 2507-55

(3)

He's Our Cracker^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Freddie Robson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 57

Showed a lot more in first-time cheekpieces when third of 9 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (16/1) just over 3 weeks ago, not clear run over 1f out. Up to defying this sort of mark granted a clearer passage.

Form: 557-63

(6)

King of The Dance^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 55

Encouragingly ran right up to his recent best returning from 5 months off when fourth of 9 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (40/1) 17 days ago. Faces a significant step up in trip now.

Form: 12424-4

(2)

Jack Andrea²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Henry Callan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 51| D

Belatedly got off the mark with headgear discarded in 9-runner classified stakes at Lingfield over 10f (7/1, 9 ran) 4 weeks ago. Not dismissed returned to handicap company for a new yard.

Form: 345-361

(1)

Versatile^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr E Cagney| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51| D

Was a market springer tried in a visor but ran an uneven race after losing several lengths at the start when last of 11 in a 12f handicap at Lingfield (6/1) just over 2 weeks ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 3758-90

Forecasts

Silkies Sib (2/1), Jack Andrea (4/1), Beachborough Girl (4/1), He's Our Cracker (7/1), Crafter (10/1), King of The Dance (10/1), Bronte Beach (12/1), Versatile (20/1)

Preference is for HE'S OUR CRACKER, who finished an unlucky third at Wolverhampton last month and Jennie Candlish's 4-y-o looks up to defying this sort of mark granted better luck in-running. Silkies Sib arrives in top form so heads up the dangers, with the unexposed Bronte Beach rounding off the shortlist back up to 1¼m.
