Ardbraccan

10st 3lb

J: Rossa Ryan

Usually held up; in good form in the main this year, winning at Nottingham in April and going close in three of her eight starts since, including against Adelabella at Newmarket on latest; has to be in calculations.

Form & Verdict

Justified favouritism with 2l win at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) last Monday, having dictated the pace; chance of defying the 5lb penalty may depend on whether she gets another easy lead.

Two AW wins at about 1m for Jamie Osborne last season; fair second, behind one who went on to complete a hat-trick, at Ripon two runs back (1m, good) but not so good back on the AW latest; could bounce back.

Won final two AW starts at 1m in the autumn, the first on Wolverhampton Tapeta; down the field on debut for new yard but fared better when second to one on the middle leg of a hat-trick, at Ripon recently; having first course run; may do better.

Five-race maiden who has been placed three times, most recently at Ffos Las (1m, heavy); may still be capable of progress, being a nicely bred filly, and looks interesting on handicap debut.

Two wins on AW for previous stable; not particularly solid on 2024 form, latterly for new yard, and has enough to prove on first attempt beyond 7f.

Out of the frame in both starts for this yard, but was only beaten just over 2l into fifth of seven at Haydock (7f, good) last month; 2lb lower than when winning over C&D for Joseph Parr last October; interesting.

Related to a few winners for her owner and has duly shown some promise (over 6f/7f); remains open to improvement and has possibilities provided she stays this new trip (mixed messages in pedigree).

Dazitoo

J: Tom Marquand

T: Ed Walker

Yet to build upon June's debut fifth over C&D (good) but this 3yo makes her handicap debut off a realistic mark and with her trainer in fine form; her dam was useful and it will be no surprise if she plays a leading role.

Never landed a serious blow in two 7f novices, showing better form when fifth on debut at Haydock; not sure dropping back to 6f is the answer but this could take some getting under the conditions.

Has done all her winning at Yarmouth (1m/1m2f); close second there (1m2f) last time; remains on a workable mark and may remain competitive provided she takes to this venue (first run here).

Similar type to Dazitoo, being a 3yo filly who has raced only four times; ran well over 1m at Nottingham on penultimate start and seemed a non-stayer over 1m2f latest; drop back in distance is a plus.

Outran her 125-1 odds when third of nine at Nottingham in August; raced too freely at Yarmouth last time which didn't aid her finishing effort; likely improvement is needed now handicapping.

Verdict

With progress looking plausible, handicap debutante GROOVY BABY could well open her account. Ardbraccan, a consistent sort who holds solid claims, is second choice. Thirsk winner Style Of Life holds a fighting chance granted another easy lead.[Steve Boow]
