Frankies Dream^h⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Candlish| OR: 65| BF| CD

9/4

Much improved since the hood went on, registering fourth success since the turn of the year in 9-runner C&D handicap 8 days ago. Ran right up to best turned out quickly when just failing in 5f handicap back here 7 days ago and good shout again under a penalty.

Platinum Crystal⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 70

17/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, ran best race to date when third of 10 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 81 days ago. Opening mark demands improvement now handicapping but pedigree offers definite hope for better still.

Diamont Katie⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 70| D

4/1

Promising type who proved more professional with debut run under her belt when a cosy winner from the front in 7-runner novice at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/4) 49 days ago. Appeals as the type to progress further switched to handicaps.

Form: 41

Tolerance^t1²⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 70WS

3/1

Promise in trio of novice events (notably sole AW run) during first half of last year. Absent since finishing down the field in Windsor nursery (6f) 8 months ago but undergone wind surgery/fitted with a tongue strap and likely he still has more to offer.

Tarlac¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 68

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, first run since leaving Kevin Ryan when eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago, running green but plugging on. Entitled to be sharper for that but this sort of test may well be on the sharp side again.

Form: 047-8

Laurens Dream⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 6/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at this C&D 82 days ago, keeping on when denied a run final 1f. Each-way possibilities back from a break.

Kitten In The Sky²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 63

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 6 in nursery at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm). Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.

Form: 23565-

Forecasts

Frankies Dream (9/4), Tolerance (3/1), Diamont Katie (4/1), Tarlac (5/1), Platinum Crystal (17/2), Laurens Dream (11/1), Kitten In The Sky (33/1)

Having bagged a fourth success since the turn of the year over C&D on his penultimate start, FRANKIES DREAM again ran well when just denied over the minimum trip back here 7 days ago. The return to 6f will suit and he's a big player again under a penalty. Chelmsford scorer Diamont Katie and the returning Tolerance are a couple expected to do better still and also command a second look.
