Wakeman Stayers Handicap

(6)

Twilight Safari³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 63

11/1

Maiden who ran his best most solid race for current connections when second of 5 in handicap at Thirsk (1¾m, good to firm) 39 days ago. Will need to step up on that to land a first win here, though.

Form: 67-0342

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| D

5/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. Below-form sixth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (17f, good, 5/1) 85 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others are more obvious.

Form: 38-6236

Bollin Neil^p,t²²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| BF| D

11/1

Added 3 more Catterick wins in the second half of last season. Also placed over hurdles there last winter but off since a below-par effort in January. The betting is perhaps the best guide as to whether he's fully primed after his 7-month absence.

Dereham²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Molly Keegan-Price⁽⁷⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 52| D

15/2

Admirable stayer at this sort of level over the years but this season's 3 efforts have been no more than respectable.

Form: 23P-434

(3)

Regally Blonde^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 51| CD

9/2

Successful in this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form to resume winning ways on all-weather at Lingfield (2m) 15 days ago. Raised 3 lb but remains 6 lb below the mark she defied in this race last year.

Form: 563451

Si White^v1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 59| BF

5/4

Much improved to make a winning handicap debut at Southwell (11f) in July. Blinkered first time, creditable 1½ lengths fifth of 10 to Femme Fatale at Lingfield (2m, all-weather) 24 days ago. Makes turf debut with a first-time visor replacing the blinkers.

Forecasts

Si White (2/1), Femme Fatale (5/2), Twilight Safari (3/1), Regally Blonde (7/2), Dereham (6/1), Zimmerman (10/1), Bollin Neil (10/1)

FEMME FATALE has upped her game since going over 2m and is taken to defy a small rise for Lingfield, perhaps at the main expense of fellow 3-y-o Si White, who wasn't that far behind her at Lingfield. Last year's winner Regally Blonde should also be on the premises.
