Chris's Mate^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: W G Harrison| OR: 50| CD

12/1

Off the mark in minor event over C&D in January, before racing too freely back up in trip when fifth of 6 over 1m here last month. Could fare better returned to this shorter distance.

Form: 9/457-15

Esque Elegance^v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hanlon| OR: 48| BF

4/1

Yet to win but placed at this course on first 3 starts for current yard. Run best excused when sixth of 9 in minor event here (1m) 2 weeks ago, facing competition for the lead, so she's capable of a bold bid with visor applied.

Form: 8-43226

I Can Boogy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50| C| D

6/1

Making first start in a 0-50 event, successful at this course (1m) on return last month. Runner-up here next time, before finding it tougher back in a handicap when fifth of 9 on latest outing 28 days ago. Respected back at this level.

Form: 454-125

Marcello Si^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 45| CD

25/1

All 3 wins at this venue (2 over C&D) back in 2024. One of this year's better efforts when fifth of 8 in minor event at Southwell 23 days ago, setting a strong pace, but task is now to back up his latest run.

Form: 50-8745

(6)

Pebble Dash²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: W G Harrison| OR: 48

18/1

Remains a maiden. However, dropped into 0-50 company he took a step back in the right direction when ½-length fourth of 9 in minor event at this course (6f) 28 days ago.

Form: 765-964

Safio's Princess¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S Whitaker| OR: 33

200/1

Little promise in her 8 starts so far, returning from 12-month absence when sixth of 7 in minor event at Southwell (1m) 15 days ago.

Form: 6/5080-6

(10)

Spirit Of Bowland^b1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: T Culhane & S Barclay| OR: 47| BF| CD

6/1

Dual course winner whose most recent success came in a 1m handicap at Southwell last spring. Placed in minor events 3 of his last 4 starts whilst not reaching the same level, third of 9 at Southwell 15 days ago.

Form: 74-3353

(7)

Starshot^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 48| CD

17/2

Sole success came in minor event over C&D last summer. Ran well when second of 9 over 1m here a fortnight ago, though needs things to drop right given his usual hold-up style nowadays.

Form: 753-842

(3)

Top Gun Tina¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: D Thompson| OR: 46

28/1

Finally off the mark in handicap at Carlisle last summer. Hasn't kicked on since, though, fifth of 9 in minor event at this course (1m) on latest outing 2 weeks ago.

Form: 0-54465

(2)

Woodrafff^v1⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| BF| CD

15/8

Solid record at this level, successful over 1m here on first outing of the month. Runner-up both starts since, finding an in-form rival too strong at Southwell 5 days ago, and he's a major player with visor replacing blinkers.

Form: 224122

(5)

Yorkstone^p1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 47| D

18/1

Has been working his way back to form in minor events this year, catching the eye with how he went through the race when second of 9 at Southwell 15 days ago, the winner scoring again next time. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 54-9642

Forecasts

Woodrafff (15/8), Esque Elegance (4/1), I Can Boogy (6/1), Spirit Of Bowland (6/1), Starshot (17/2), Chris's Mate (12/1), Laura's Breeze (14/1), Yorkstone (18/1), Pebble Dash (18/1), Marcello Si (25/1), Top Gun Tina (28/1), Safio's Princess (200/1)

WOODRAFFF has yet to finish out of the frame in classified events, gaining a second course success earlier in the month, so he is taken to resume winning ways back at this venue. I Can Boogy ran well in this grade on her first 2 starts of the year and is feared most, ahead of Esque Elegance.
