Echo Valley²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: T Symonds| OR: 55

80/1

Nearer last than first in trio of maidens on all-weather/turf since the turn of the year. Does now get first crack at handicaps back at a more suitable trip but this looks a warm race for the grade.

Timely Salute¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Taylor Fisher| T: W J Knight| OR: 55

9/1

Finished no better than midfield in 3 novice events and failed to improve for switch to handicaps when fifth of 6 at Yarmouth (1m) 2 weeks ago. However, this step up in trip looks worth exploring on balance and he's not one to be writing off by any means.

Form: 50-85

Atalanta Mist¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 54

13/2

Ulysses filly who stepped forward from her reappearance and again shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when third over 1m here 2 weeks ago. Feasible to think she can do better again.

Form: 399-53

Lucky Sevens^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: James Owen| OR: 53| BF

3/1

Responded favourably to the first-time cheekpieces/switch to turf when coming from off the pace to land a 1m handicap at Yarmouth 2 starts back. Did best of those that raced to the fore when close up third tackling 1¼m there latest and claims for all revised mark has now kicked in.

Panthere Noir^h1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 51

10/1

Hasn't shown a great deal since returning from a gelding operation, underperforming refitted with cheekpieces when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 weeks ago. Steps up in trip having changed hands for 3,000 gns ahead of this. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 753-864

Kakirra⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 45

6/5

Offered little in trio of 7f novice events but on back of a break with hood discarded, was much improved to make a winning handicap debut in 7-runner contest at Wolverhampton (1½m) 5 days ago. Should take some stopping under a penalty.

Skyolaire¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 50

40/1

Sent off at big prices and little impact in 3 runs over 6f as a 2-y-o. However, did at least take a step forward when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (1m, firm, 28/1) 14 days ago. Further increase in trip could see him do better again.

Form: 658-4

Montu^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: Jack Jones| OR: 50

11/1

Placed in 3 all-weather handicaps at up to 1½m but found some early keenness catching him out when down the field at Wolverhampton 16 days ago. On a competitive mark on balance and bounce back not ruled out returned to turf.

Form: 7-62237

(8)

Favourite Friend^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 45

18/1

Didn't beat a rival in 3 novices last summer but made a much better fist of things on first handicap start when sixth at Wolverhampton (1½m) 16 days ago, paying late having had to work hard to get to the front. Cheekpieces on1st time and remains capable of better for shrewd yard.

Form: 868-66

Forecasts

Kakirra (6/5), Lucky Sevens (3/1), Atalanta Mist (13/2), Timely Salute (9/1), Panthere Noir (10/1), Montu (11/1), Favourite Friend (18/1), Skyolaire (40/1), Echo Valley (80/1)

KAKIRRA looked one to keep firmly onside when comfortably off the mark on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 5 days ago and he ought to take plenty of stopping under a penalty if proving as effective on turf. Lucky Sevens and Atalanta Mist head the dangers, over Favourite Friend who remains with his best days ahead of him in handicaps.
