Race Tip
A tricky three-year-old handicap where a chance is taken on the Ed Dunlop trained handicap debutant SUPERPOSITION (3). Did well in a 1m Sandown maiden when last seen and could have more to offer now up in trip. LET’S DREAM (2) produced a sound effort finishing second on handicap debut tackling this trip at Nottingham last season. May get involved off a 2.2lb higher mark. OUR GOLDEN ONE (4) landed a maiden on heavy ground at the same venue and cannot be ignored now sent handicapping. ALPEN POWER (5) looks a live each-way hope.

Has not raced since finishing 3.5 lengths away in fifth over 7f at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 25. Should be right in the mix.

Resumes. Last appeared at Nottingham over 1m2f when second six-and-a-half months ago. Open to improvement and expected to feature.

Broke through for her first win at Nottingham over 1m1/2f on October 4 then went for a lay-off. All set for a bright return.

Returned from a lay-off last start and found a couple better over 1m2f at Chelmsford, beaten one length. Genuine galloper and is worth thought.

Returned from a lay-off with reasonable effort last start when fourth, beaten 3 lengths, at Southwell All Weather over 1m3f. Looking to others.

- 9-1
Resumed in good fashion last start when third over 1m at Kempton Park All Weather on March 13 beaten 1.5 lengths. Will appreciate longer journey at this stage of the prep. Top hope.

Has had one run back from a break and was well held in eighth over 7f at Catterick three-and-a-half weeks ago. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.
