Resumed winning ways at Redcar (6f) in November but proving in and out since, not disgraced at Haydock 3 weeks ago. First go in a 0-60 and one to note.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 59

Master Dandy^b,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 58| D

50/1

In best form for a while towards the end of January with 2 wins from 3 starts (just denied the other time). Well held after a break the last twice and opposable back on turf.

Gemini Star²⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 57| C

8/1

Back at the scene of her only success having moved to a new yard and is lower in the weights than she's ever been. Interesting.

Form: 387597-

Stormy Pearl^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 55| BF| D

15/2

Made all from this mark at Hamilton in July and encouraging runs both starts this year, again slowly away but finishing well behind Run This Way at Redcar last week. One to consider.

Form: 7686-25

Sanbona^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 55

28/1

Won twice over 5f last season but ended his campaign with a bit of a whimper and again offered little on return at Redcar.

Form: 10408-9

Angel Of England^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: A D Brown| OR: 54| D

22/1

Poor strike rate and out of sorts (unseated rider leaving stalls at Southwell latest).

Form: 29-000U

Valsharah^h,t,p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: M Appleby| OR: 54

9/1

Still seeking a first win (record stands at 0-22). Showed good speed before fading at Southwell 3 weeks ago and tries a new headgear combination now. Went close on previous attempt in a 0-60 in March.

Form: 8-06246

(3)

Crocus Time²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: R E Barr| OR: 53| CD

8/1

Has solid Thirsk form, belatedly opening account in C&D classified event in August. Good third at Catterick when last seen and claims if ready to roll.

Form: 535313-

(7)

Eldeyaar^v¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell| T: A Brittain| OR: 52| CD

12/1

Gained a first success since 2024 (in a headgear change) when making all in 17-runner C&D handicap last month from Stormy Pearl. Fared best of those ridden close up at Southwell 16 days ago and could figure again.

Form: 748013

(5)

Ridgemaster^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 51

40/1

Belied odds of 66/1 when winning a 7f Newcastle handicap on debut for this yard in December but finished nearer last than first on both starts since. New headgear tried back on turf.

Form: 9901-80

(13)

Solar Biricz^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: M Walford| OR: 51

14/1

Doubled tally at Doncaster (5f) last June. Stepped up on reappearance run for new yard in a first-time visor and reverting to more patient tactics when fourth of 9 at Redcar 2 weeks ago. 2 lb lower still and makes just second start over 6f.

Form: 3890-04

(12)

Run This Way^b⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 51| CD

4/1

Produced her best effort for nearly 18 months in first-time blinkers to resume winning ways in 6f Redcar handicap last week (Stormy Pearl unlucky in fifth). Up 3 lb and good claims if the headgear works as well again.

Form: 5508-71

(17)

Asadjumeirah^t,p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 48| CD

12/1

Newcastle regular operating below his best at present at that track. Has won here in the past but hard to fancy in current form.

Form: 665438

(9)

Baby Rover¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: K Scott| OR: 47| D

16/1

Opened account at Redcar (6f) in June and runner-up twice after. Hinted at a revival on second start back at Musselburgh (7f) a fortnight ago and could be involved back down in trip.

Form: 7420-96

(10)

Invincible Annice^p¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 47

40/1

Won at Newcastle in November but quickly lost her form and might need this after 4 months off.

Form: 889-898

Forecasts

Run This Way (5/1), Crocus Time (6/1), Stormy Pearl (7/1), Andalprofit (7/1), Solar Biricz (8/1), Dream Deal (10/1), Ganesha (12/1), Eldeyaar (12/1), Valsharah (16/1), Asadjumeirah (16/1), Gemini Star (16/1), Master Dandy (20/1), Baby Rover (20/1), Angel Of England (25/1), Sanbona (25/1), Invincible Annice (25/1), Ridgemaster (25/1)

In the hope she isn't again hindered by a very slow start STORMY PEARL is taken to resume winning ways having caught the eye behind Run This Way at Redcar last week. Paul Midgley's charge is a big player once more, with Andalprofit and Solar Biricz a couple of others in the mix.
