Faithful Dream¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| BF

5/2

Good second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 2/1) 15 days ago. 2 lb nudge for that near-miss is fair enough and another bold show likely.

Form: 60-5242

Luna Beaux¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 59| CD

16/5

C&D winner in January. 18/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 17 days ago. Should go well back here.

Form: 747-164

Mademoiselle Belle^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 59

6/1

Winner at Newcastle in February. Last of 6 in handicap (4/1) at the same course (5f) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Back up in trip and she's capable of having a major say.

Form: 232916

(11)

In Denial²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D 22 days ago. Improvement needed but she's likely to be better off now handicapping and is one to note in the betting.

Form: 75-7

Saxon Grace¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: D Bourke| OR: 57

11/4

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56

33/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (5f) 38 days ago. Back up in trip on first run for new yard and she's probably worth taking on.

Form: 36459-6

18/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 8/1) 20 days ago and she needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 0803-98

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 62 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and should make his presence felt.

Forecasts

Faithful Dream (5/2), Saxon Grace (11/4), Luna Beaux (16/5), The Tunguska Event (7/2), Mademoiselle Belle (6/1), A Lott Of Kane (17/2), Runamara (16/1), Telling Time (18/1), In Denial (22/1), Baileys Ontherocks (33/1), Backfire (40/1), Dance Hello (80/1)

Judged on his recent close-call at Kempton, FAITHFUL DREAM's turn is surely near and he is taken to confirm that impression by getting off the mark here. It's probably best to draw a line through Mademoiselle Belle's latest effort at Newcastle and she will be a threat if on-song, while Luna Beaux is third choice. Handicap debutante In Denial is also on the shortlist.
