Gizmo 28 days

J: Rowan Scott

T: Michael Bell

Form: 13-6

OR: 80

W: 9st 9lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Landed 7f novice at Lingfield on his debut in September but he has failed to beat a rival in both subsequent starts, going freely when last of six on his handicap debut at Newmarket (7f) four weeks ago. Hood is now reached for.

The Resdev Scholar 20 days

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Form: -24330

OR: 78

W: 9st 7lb

Age: 3 yo Gelding

Form

Completed a hat-trick at Doncaster (6f) in November and continued in very good form when placed in four handicaps this season, including when third of 14 at York (7f) in May. Came in well held there (7f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back.

Abundant 32 days

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Tom Ward

Form: 221-4

OR: 78

W: 9st 7lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Progressive at 2yrs when 1m Southwell maiden winner in October; resumed from nearly 7 months off (gelded) with a solid fourth of 12 in 1m Windsor handicap last month; can take a step forward here.

Pints In Peace 20 days

J: Jonny Peate

T: Ivan Furtado

Form: 213410

OR: 77

W: 9st 6lb

Age: 3 yo Gelding

Form

Made a bright start to life for Ivan Furtado on the AW this season, bagging a pair of 7f Wolverhampton handicaps; not so good back on turf with 15th in 7f York handicap so needs to bounce back.

Lucky Hero 20 days

J: Oisin Orr

T: David O’Meara

Form: 238-10

OR: 77

W: 9st 6lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Gained a first victory in 7f Redcar novice on his return in April but he came in a well-held 17th in 7f York handicap 20 days ago; cheekpieces go on for the first time now.

Master Of Entropy 36 days

J: Jason Hart

T: John & Sean Quinn

Form: 9-35

OR: 74

W: 9st 3lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Has progressed with each of his three runs, fifth of ten in 1m Redcar novice last month; since gelded and this son of Mohaather could have more to offer now going handicapping; very much one to consider.

7 (8)

Berkshire Boom 13 days

J: Jason Watson

T: Andrew Balding

Form: 81-76 C

OR: 70

W: 8st 13lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Landed 7f maiden here last July; off ten months and has failed to kick on sent handicapping this season, again going freely when last of six at Lingfield (7.5f) 13 days ago; could still do better if becoming more tractable.

Miss Lady Grace 7 days

J: Alexandra Egan

T: Dan Horsford

Form: -21761

OR: 68

W: 8st 11lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Much improved for the switch to Dan Horsford this season, gaining a second success in fine style in 7f Goodwood apprentice handicap a week ago; escapes a penalty here so she looks hard to beat with Alexandra Egan again up.

Sprinting Speed 25 days

J: Gina Mangan

T: Jennie Candlish

Form: 68-058

OR: 63

W: 8st 6lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Hinted at promise in a trio of runs for Richard Hannon in 2025 and it's been a similar story this season for his new yard, hampered start when eighth of ten in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 25 days ago; no forlorn hope off a 3lb lower mark here.

Betting Forecast

20/1 Gizmo, 7/1 The Resdev Scholar, 7/2 Abundant, 25/1 Pints In Peace, 14/1 Lucky Hero, 13/2 Master Of Entropy, 12/1 Berkshire Boom, 5/4 Miss Lady Grace, 20/1 Sprinting Speed

Verdict

Dan Horsford’s MISS LADY GRACE took her form up a level when scooting in at Goodwood a week ago for Alexandra Egan (on again today) and is impossible to oppose given she escapes a penalty for that apprentice handicap victory. Adundant returned with an encouraging fourth at Windsor and appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of Master Of Entropy and The Resdev Scholar.[Peter Entwistle]
