Flying Fortune (M)
FAV
Most progressive in 2024/25 but has offered precious little on both starts after a lengthy absence this campaign. Handicapper drops her 5 lb as a result.

Pitwood Road (M)
Made a winning start for her new yard in 2m3f handicap at Carlisle in December and backed it up with a very good second of 7 in 2½m handicap at Newcastle following month. Not up to listed company at Kelso last time, so better anticipated r…

Fresh As A Daisy (M)
Opened her account at the first time of asking over hurdles in novice at Uttoxeter (2½m) last May. Matched that form in a couple of starts over winter but failed by a long way to meet expectations on handicap debut after a break at Newbury…

Spit Spot (M)
[P1T]
Bagged a pair of 3m handicaps at this course last autumn. Has come back from a break in better nick than her last 2 form figures might suggest so folly to ignore in first-time cheekpieces returned to 2½m.

Atlantic City (M)
Fair maiden hurdler for Ciaran Murphy in Ireland who shaped encouragingly despite rather than because of the return to 2m when second of 7 in maiden at Haydock earlier in the month, finishing with running left. Back up to 2½m for this hand…

Just An Artist (M)
[H]
Shock winner of weak course maiden on reappearance. Mixed bag since, shaping well faced with an inadequate test when third of 7 on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2½m) last month. Others more appealing kept to this trip.

Tread Softly Now (M)
[V1]
Opened account for the season over 19.5f at Ayr in November and produced a career best when second at Kelso following month. Has struggled for consistency since though, running poorly back at Ayr last time. More severe headgear enlisted (f…
