Blue In The West²²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 97

5/1

Hold-up sort who belatedly got off the mark when a ready winner of a 13-runner handicap at Exeter last month. Ran at least as well in defeat back there last time and remains of interest back up in trip.

Danger Nap^p1⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 95

17/2

Has yet to come close to matching his fair bumper form in this sphere but may fare better now switching to handicap company with a step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces potential sources of improvement.

Form: 250/6P4-

Kantagua Du Large^p,t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 93

2/1

Remains winless for current yard but has claims if bouncing back from a lesser effort at Ffos Las last time. Tongue strap refitted.

Form: 7/56446-

Broadway Honey⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 93

18/1

Showed a bit in maiden/novice hurdles but hasn't fired in 2 handicaps. Longer trip needs to trigger improvement.

Form: 8/53355-

Mexican Stan^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 88

4/1

Offered some encouragement in his qualifying runs but has offered little in a trio of handicaps, including after 11 weeks off at this course last time. Steps up significantly in trip now.

Form: 074/P45-

Silver Gale²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| OR: 78

5/2

Confirmed the improvement shown on her previous start when runner-up to a thriving rival in 4-runner handicap at Fakenham (23f, good, 6/1) 26 days ago. Step back up in trip in her favour and certainly has a race in her from this sort of mark.

Forecasts

Kantagua Du Large (2/1), Silver Gale (5/2), Mexican Stan (4/1), Blue In The West (5/1), Danger Nap (17/2), Kingston Kid (10/1), Annies Gold (10/1), Broadway Honey (18/1)

BLUE IN THE WEST arrives in top form and is selected to resume winning ways with the return to further likely to be in his favour. Silver Gale bumped into a thriving one at Fakenham on her most recent outing and certainly has a race in her from a mark in the high 70s, with handicap-debutant Danger Nap appealing as best of the rest.
