Fistral Beach^p1¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: J Mackie| OR: 55| CD

11/4

Notched second C&D success February. Respectable third of 8 back here off this mark 10 days ago and she will be a danger to all if the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.

Form: 5-42513

Zu Run¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 55| CD

11/4

C&D winner in October 2024 and scored off a 9 lb higher mark on turf last spring. However, he's proved more miss than hit in recent months and others make more appeal.

Form: 768-085

Sioux Warrior¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Wintle| OR: 54

9/2

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago and shapes as though stepping up to this trip may be a good move. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 307-565

(7)

Neptune Legend^b,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| C| D

7/1

Successful here in November but has found life tougher since and probably worth taking on this first start since rejoining former yard.

Form: 55-8786

(9)

Faster Bee^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 52| CD

4/1

Finally opened his account over C&D last month but failed by a long chalk to reproduce that form at Southwell recently. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 0-55120

Blue Jay Way¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: J Riches| OR: 52| CD

16/1

C&D winner in October but could finish only eighth of 12 back here the following month and absent since.

Form: 588118-

Koge^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S D Bowen| T: J Butler| OR: 52

200/1

Looks very limited judged on the available evidence, with the addition of cheekpieces (retained) failing to spark any improvement here (9.5f) 13 days ago.

Form: 3499-99

Hannah's Return^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: G Brown| OR: 47| CD

22/1

Twice a winner here, including over C&D, and she was a creditable third of 10 in a minor event with blinkers enlisted (retained) at Chelmsford (6f) 25 days ago. Still, no more than an each-way chance.

Form: 1/659-73

(3)

Twilight Poppy^b1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: K Frost| OR: 45

80/1

Record stands at 0-14 and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 989-667

No Nay Nevermind⁴⁵

Weight: 9-7| Age: 4

T: I Jardine J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Fistral Beach (11/4), Zu Run (11/4), Faster Bee (4/1), Sioux Warrior (9/2), No Nay Nevermind (6/1), Neptune Legend (7/1), Blue Jay Way (16/1), Hannah's Return (22/1), Twilight Poppy (80/1), Koge (200/1)

The most appealing option is FISTRAL BEACH, who has been in good heart of late and perhaps the fitting of cheekpieces will help eke out a bit more. No Nay Nevermind would have a chance if able to get back on track and he is next on the list ahead of Sioux Warrior.
