Cool Molly²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 69| D

10/3

Twice a winner this year, including handicap at Lingfield 21 days ago, keeping on to lead late on. That race is beginning to work out well and she merits serious consideration on the back of a 3 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 332-151

(8)

Alfa Duplicate²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 68

13/2

Got off the mark when dropped to 5f for the first time at Southwell 21 days ago, making all. Up 7 lb for that success and needs to prove herself as effective back up to 6f.

Form: 572-671

(5)

Liverpool Star²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

3/1

Best effort when second of 9 over C&D in December. Shaped as if trip was too sharp back at 5f when third of 7 at Southwell 21 days ago and could well resume progression returned to 6f.

Form: 53824-3

Espona Bay¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: S Dixon| OR: 66

5/1

Finished runner-up on three occasions in handicaps but was too free when fourth of 11 over C&D 16 days ago on first run since leaving Michael Bell. Capable of getting back on track if settling better with that outing under his belt.

Form: 6252-24

(7)

Henriette Ronner^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 64| CD

9/1

Won over C&D with first-time blinkers in January but form has fallen away since, the headgear not working so well since leaving William Haggas, and she needs to be rejuvenated by the return to this track to stand a chance.

Form: 43-7149

(2)

Evolve⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 63

14/1

Lightly raced but has not shown a great deal. Made unpromising handicap debut here in January (hanging badly left) and he has plenty to prove, including in terms of attitude.

Form: 7-456

(1)

Soul Warrior¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 62| D

11/2

Caused shock when winning nursery at Redcar (40/1) in September, still looking rough around the edges. Needs to prove he can reproduce that form returning to all-weather after 178 days off.

Form: 8881-

(4)

Pivotal Terms¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 59

16/1

7-race maiden who has often raced too freely, including both outings since joining this yard and she's got plenty to prove before she's of any interest.

Form: 0637-87

Forecasts

Liverpool Star (3/1), Cool Molly (10/3), Espona Bay (5/1), Soul Warrior (11/2), Alfa Duplicate (13/2), Henriette Ronner (9/1), Evolve (14/1), Pivotal Terms (16/1)

COOL MOLLY comes here on the back of a win in a race that is working out well and can go in again at the expense of Liverpool Star who should relish the return to 6f. Alfa Duplicate won well last time and could figure if proving as effective at this trip.
