Draw Bias: Favours high draws at this trip on Tapeta.

Strongest Contenders

MEDINILLA (IRE) (Jack Channon) – Timeform 75p
Winner on her second start last autumn (6f, Ripon). She’s open to improvement and makes her handicap debut here. Timeform-adjusted rating suggests she could be ahead of her mark. Returns from 233-day break, so watch market closely.
8/10

SPRING (IRE) (Richard Hughes) – Timeform 74
Brighton nursery winner last year and shaped with encouragement on seasonal return (5f, Lingfield) when not ideally placed. Now back to 6f, which suits better.
7.5/10

GABRIAE (Paul Attwater) – Timeform 71
Lightly raced and ran well on return for new yard (2nd over 5f here). Now back up in trip with cheekpieces tried. Reliable profile and scope for more.
7/10

Main Dangers

RINKY TINKY TINKY (Ilka Gansera-Leveque) – Timeform 72
Took a leap forward when winning at Nottingham last time at 40/1. Might have had an ideal position on the rail there, but figures suggest improvement and high draw helps here.
7/10

PRINCESS PW (IRE) (Gay Kelleway) – Timeform 68
Often races prominently, which should suit. Went close at Lingfield last time (7f) but hung and looked quirky. Drop back to 6f in blinkers again.
6.5/10

THE REAL MCKAY (IRE) (Michael Herrington) – Timeform 68
Generally modest form but not discredited last time at Beverley over 7f. Drop in trip and switch to Tapeta could suit better; has ability if breaking more alertly.
6.5/10



—

Interesting Outsiders

FORTELEZA (IRE) (Archie Watson) – Timeform 70
Low-key return but may come forward for it. Has run well on Tapeta previously and was second off this mark last season. Wide draw a concern.
6/10

JAKE LOVES LAURA (Clare Hobson) – Timeform 73
Has some fair placed form but little substance to latest efforts. Gets favourable pace/draw scenario if bouncing back; keep an eye on market.
5.5/10

Others Rated

TIGER TULIP – Timeform 71
Recent form poor, though mark has eased.
5.5/10

GOGO YUBARI – No rating
Tailed off last three runs; needs a revival.
4.5/10

SUNSHINE SOUL (IRE) – No rating
Beaten a long way in recent starts; regressive profile.
4/10

MIDNIGHT CALL (IRE) – Timeform 65
410-day absence and minimal form.
3/10

Market Watch Advice:
Keep a close eye on Medinilla, Spring, and Forteleza, all returning from 90+ day layoffs. Any significant support or drift could be telling.
