12:45 – COME ON GIRL

COME ON GIRL wasn’t seen to best effect when fourth over six furlongs at this course last time, making late headway having not been ideally placed in a steadily-run race. She also left the impression that she would relish a return to this longer trip so she is well worth another chance, especially now contesting a less-competitive handicap. The six-year-old can record a fifth course success, while Luna Queen gained her sole victory here and is feared most with a visor now applied.

13:15 – BILLIAN

BILLIAN has won only once in 26 starts, and that was well over two years ago, but he shaped promisingly two starts back at Wolverhampton, leaving the impression he may be ready to cash in on a falling mark. Admittedly, he failed to build on that promise at Newcastle earlier this month, but he drops into a classified event now which shouldn’t take much winning and leading all-weather jockey Kevin Stott stays on board. Moveonup, Therehegoes and Youllovemewheniwin are also considered in a lowly event.

13:45 – COLORS OF FREEDOM

COLORS OF FREEDOM has thrived since entering handicaps, completing a hat-trick in good style at Southwell 10 days ago, making good headway at around halfway and quickening clear in good style in the closing stages. The manner in which she put that race to bed suggests her winning run may not be over yet and she is taken to complete a four-timer turned out under a 6 lb penalty. Doctor Mozart was only one and a halft lengths behind the selection that day and is 6 lb better off now, so can be expected to finish closer.

14:20 – HALIC

HALIC is bred to be useful and shaped better than the bare result on his first start for Owen Burrows and 16 months off the track at Wolverhampton in October and he progressed as expected upped to this sort of trip when narrowly beaten at the same track the following month. He still looked rough around the edges, leaving the impression he could improve even further yet, and he makes plenty of appeal now making his handicap debut from what looks a fair opening mark. Vega Sicilia remains one to be interested in having just lost out at Southwell last time and is feared most.

14:50 – CIAO ADIOS

CIAO ADIOS appeared to be perked up by the fitting of first-time blinkers when resuming winning ways at Southwell last week and she looks interesting turned out under a 5 lb penalty. She won only narrowly, but had to pick her way through the pack and wandered once hitting the front, suggesting she had a bit up her sleeve. Ciao Adios remains relatively unexposed at middle distances and can launch another bold bid. In-form Haseef is feared most in his bid for a breakthrough success with Hot Day also weighted to go close if his stamina lasts out over this longer trip.

15:25 – NAZYMBEK

NAZYMBEK made plenty of appeal on paper and was very well supported to make a winning debut over course and distance last month. He looked well above average, too, showing signs of greenness in the early stages but finding the penny dropping as the race wore on, and he displayed a smart turn of foot to settle matters in the closing stages. The third has franked the form since and he has the potential to improve significantly now, so he is preferred to another promising last-time-out winner in First Sight.

15:55 – PABLOE DEL PUEBLO

PABLOE DEL PUEBLO made an impressive return to his former stable when scoring at Kempton 10 days ago and there’s good reason to think this speedy sort, who has a good course record, can defy a penalty. Mick’s Spirit was behind the selection that day but is likely to bounce back, while the thriving Man On A Mission also makes plenty of appeal.
