Building up a better record on all-weather, looking better than ever when making it 2 from 2 at Southwell over C&D 9 days ago, well on top at the finish. Player up 4 lb.
|
Lost her way after winning at Chelmsford in first-time cheekpieces last autumn.
|
Successful twice on all-weather last year. Belatedly proved himself on turf when second of 6 at Brighton last month but failed to meet expectations back on an artificial surface since.
|
In top form at the moment though he benefited from a very good ride when making all at Wolverhampton 11 days ago.
|
Yet to win a handicap but looked much more at home down in this grade when fourth of 19 at Redcar 17 days ago, setting a sound pace. Excuses all 3 starts on all-weather previously. Hood applied.
|
Strong in the market and took advantage of a reduced mark with more in hand than the bare margin implies on Newcastle reappearance. Looked stretched by the longer trip at Pontefract since and he remains well treated on old form.
|
Three all-weather wins this year, including over C&D. Returns from a break following a poor run at Wolverhampton.
|
Front runner for current yard, making all over C&D in April. Generally held form since, though did too much too soon at Thirsk latest. Has now dipped below winning mark.
|
Successful twice last year and having struggled for much of this season, stopped the slide from a tumbling mark when second under this rider at Carlisle. Shaped well when not seen to best effect over C&D since and needs considering having eased another 1 lb.
|
Not straightforward and has struggled since joining this yard, tailed off at Salisbury latest.
|
Maiden who made more of an impact from her reduced mark when second over C&D on final start for Pam Sly last month.
|
Not seen to best effect on 3 of his last 4 starts (made effort earlier than ideal when upped in trip last time) and mark eases again. One to consider.
|
Showed little in 3 starts. Off 92 days. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut.
|
Mark continues to slide but last 2 efforts were disappointing and didn't convince on his sole start on all-weather a year ago.

Forecasts
R P Mcmurphy (9/2), Gladiadora (5/1), Special Breeze (5/1), Ballybunion (13/2), Avatar Jet (8/1), Dandy G Boy (10/1), Degale (12/1), Izzari (12/1), The Cookstown Cafu (14/1), Big Alex Walmsley (16/1), Imola (20/1), Lineofsuccession (20/1), Optimatum (25/1), Beauty By My Side (33/1)
IZZARI and Ballybunion both shaped much better than the bare result last time with the former shading the vote. Gladiadora made it 2 from 2 here in good style recently so she's another to consider.
