Mehmas Engine (1pt)

Best price 11/4 at the time of publishing.

Barefoot Beach was an impressive debut winner over this course and distance but preference instead goes to MEHMAS ENGINE (best priced at 11/4) who has the benefit of race fitness over her rival. The James Tate trained filly was sent off 5/6 for her debut at Southwell a month ago when she didn’t get the clearest of runs when 3rd beaten two lengths at the finish.

Mehmas Engine cost 120,000gns as a breeze-up horse but has been given time by connections since. Runners from the stable have been running well with a high 75% RTF in the past two weeks and she can get off the mark in receipt of 5lbs from her main market rival.

Southern Warrior (1pt)

Best price 13/8 at the time of publishing.

SOUTHERN WARRIOR (best priced at 7/4) made a winning handicap debut last time when justifying favouritism at Newcastle and he can follow up here from only a 3lb higher mark. The form of his latest victory has been boosted by the runner-up Mighty Vega winning on his next start and is now rated 2lbs higher.

Southern Warrior faces some interesting handicap debutants but sets the standard from his win last time and can make it 2/2 in handicaps.

Wedonttellthetruth (0.5pt ew)

Best price 15/2 at the time of publishing.

The likes of Rum Diamond, Blackisthenewblack and Kindly Queen are all expected to show improved from on their handicap debuts but the standard is set by WEDONTTELLTHETRUTH (best priced at 15/2) who showed improved form last time. The Mark Loughnane trained gelding finished well beaten in his first three starts when sent off 33/1, 150/1 and 40/1 and ridden by Jonny Peate on all three occasions.

Wedonttellthetruth returned from a 62 day break, was upped in trip to 1m4f on his handicap debut, was fitted with first-time cheekpieces and ridden by Billy Loughnane for the first time when making a winning handicap debut last time at Wolverhampton when he won cosily by 1 ¾ lengths. A 5lb rise could underestimate him and he should run well with four places available.
