Valkyrie Storm¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 73| CD

5/6

Improved to make a winning return in 10-runner handicap over C&D 13 days ago. Up 3 lb but well on top at the finish so another bold showing is on the cards.

Inferno²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: E Bethell| OR: 69

6/1

Gelded/off 4 months before posting a solid third of 6 in 1m Thirsk novice 29 days ago. This Toronado colt can take a step forward now going handicapping.

Form: 43-3

Lillie Margot²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 68

18/1

Has twice failed to build on a promising Haydock debut third (1m) in September, only seventh on her return in maiden at Beverley 24 days ago. May still do better though on her handicap debut.

Form: 37-7

Empirical^p1¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 66

9/2

Shaped well when third in novice at Wolverhampton in December. Left poorly placed after a slow start when eighth in 1m maiden at Kempton following month. Cheekpieces go on for handicap debut (has been gelded) and remains with potential.

Form: 73-8

Glasgow Kiss²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 66

6/1

Steadily progressive until just eighth on her handicap bow at Bath (1m) 22 days ago. She's not written off with yard going well.

Form: 6-448

Bosom Pals²⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 65

28/1

Got off the mark in 7f nursery at Thirsk but labouring by halfway when tenth of 12 in similar company at Newbury later in August. She needs to hit the ground running after 8 months off.

Gwen's Girl²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 62

40/1

Twice in the frame in novices at 2yrs. Not best drawn when seventh of 11 in handicap at Ripon (1m) on her return 23 days ago. Can build on it now.

Forecasts

Valkyrie Storm (5/6), Quick Turn (4/1), Sailor Batt (4/1), Empirical (9/2), Inferno (6/1), Glasgow Kiss (6/1), Lillie Margot (18/1), Bosom Pals (28/1), Gwen's Girl (40/1)

VALKYRIE STORM got off the mark in good style over C&D last time and is taken to defy a 3 lb weights rise at the chief expense of Ed Walker's Empirical who appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company. Sailor Batt is pretty consistent so also needs considering.
