Angel Shared³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 83| CD

7/2

Rattled off a C&D hat-trick last summer (all good to firm), including this race. Two good efforts at Bath this spring and the type to bounce back from lesser effort in listed company at Haydock last time.

Form: 08-7530

Shallow^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 78| CD

7/2

Prominent racer who has been in decent form since equipped with cheekpieces, finishing a good third of 12 in 6f York handicap a fortnight ago. No reason why she won't give her running again.

Form: 569233

Brisk Symphony⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 84| D

9/2

Dual scorer last season who has returned with good runner-up efforts in 7f handicaps at Yarmouth (good to firm) and Lingfield (all-weather) this spring. Ought to go well again.

Form: 1148-22

(5)

Powdering³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: M Herrington| OR: 76| D

13/2

Fairly useful handicapper. Hasn't been at best in recent starts but her mark has dipped as a result and the Michael Herrington stable is going well in general.

Form: 203360

Eskimo Pie⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 82

17/2

Fairly useful filly. Showed she's trained on when third on 1m Kempton reappearance but needs to shrug off 2 lesser runs since.

Form: 378-364

(7)

Lara Antipova⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Tom Clover| OR: 80| D

9/1

Off the mark at third time of asking in 5-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f, all-weather) in April. Did that comfortably and should have more to offer in handicaps.

Form: 2-21

(1)

Polka Blue²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| OR: 78| D

4/1

On a hat-trick after wins at Leicester (6f, firm) and Lingfield (7f, all-weather) in recent weeks. Overcame a positional bias at the latter track in a race which has thrown up winners. A further 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop her.

Form: 34-4311

Forecasts

Shallow (7/2), Angel Shared (7/2), Polka Blue (4/1), Brisk Symphony (9/2), There's A Chance (5/1), Powdering (13/2), Eskimo Pie (17/2), Lara Antipova (9/1)

Quite a competitive fillies' handicap. The form of POLKA BLUE's latest win has been boosted and she's taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Lara Antipova is open to improvement now handicapping and heads the dangers along with Brisk Symphony and C&D specialist Angel Shared.
