5/2

Both wins have been gained over 5f here and she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 7 recently at Wolverhampton. However, she doesn't appear to be crying out for a return to this trip.

Welcome Retreat¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 74

7/2

Bit below form third of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f) 15 days ago. albeit things didn't go entirely her way on that occasion. Went close off a similar mark in a Southwell handicap on penultimate start and she needs considering.

Form: 535-223

Miss Lady Grace²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: Dan Horsford| OR: 73

14/1

Gifted a soft lead when opening her account in a 6-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) 26 days ago. More on her plate now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 423-21

Filly Foden³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| C

9/1

Consistent filly who got off the mark for present yard at Southwell in January before following up here (5f) 8 days later. in February. Probably best to overlook her latest effort and she has to enter calculations, despite being drawn widest of all.

Form: 2-23117

Whiskey Kisses¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 72

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden who has shown a reasonable level of ability but improvement will be needed if she's to play a leading role on this handicap debut.

Form: 5423-4

Autumn Affair²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 72

8/1

Came home fourth of 9 in novice at Southwell (5f) 29 days ago. Return to this trip looks a good move for this handicap bow but she's another who needs to take a step forward.

Form: 2-24

Space Bear⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

7/2

Wolverhampton maiden winner on debut last summer and ended time with Marco Botti by finishing a close third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 65 days ago. Makes debut for new yard off the same mark and she's one to consider.

Forecasts

Thecoffeepoddotco (5/2), Space Bear (7/2), Welcome Retreat (7/2), Calling A Star (4/1), Whiskey Kisses (11/2), Autumn Affair (8/1), Filly Foden (9/1), Miss Lady Grace (14/1)

Michael Appleby is adept at getting the best out of recruits from rival yards and SPACE BEAR, who was a close-up third despite racing freely on her final run for previous connections at Kempton in January, could prove to be another case in point. Filly Foden usually gives her running, so it's easy to excuse her for what was a rare poor effort last time and she is second choice ahead of Welcome Retreat.
