Optimistic
OPTIMISTIC has taken his form up a notch this year and, with the potential of more still to offer after only 5 starts, he could be ready to open his account this time around. Flicka's Girl arrives in good heart and is feared most, ahead of Autumn Angel.

Dual C&D winner who made the frame here on first 2 starts this year (wore blinkers on each occasion). Below form in cheekpieces in 7f minor event at Southwell last time, but she's interesting back here with the blinkers reapplied.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSouthwell7f 14yStandardFlat6/8Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat7/12Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat3/8Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat4/9Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat2/9- 8(5)OptimisticJ: Darragh KeenanE: Derek Shaw945-32Âge 45/15/19/2

Fitted with a visor, has shown improved form in a pair of minor events this year, only narrowly denied when second of 10 over C&D 22 days ago despite racing freely.

Remains a maiden after fifteen starts but went close when second in 17-runner handicap at Navan in October. Ran poorly in her subsequent 4 outings last year, though she's worth a market check with hood reapplied on first outing since leaving M. M.

Has benefited from being ridden more positively of late, runner-up for the third time in last 4 starts when beaten by an improver in 11-runner handicap at Southwell 13 days ago.

Stepped up on his return when second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f) last month. With the headgear left off, was unable to lead when last of 8 at Chelmsford 17 days ago, but he may find competition up front again as he tries this trip for the second time.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosChelmsford City5fStandardFlat8/8Southwell4f 214yStandardFlat2/6Chelmsford City5fStandardFlat5/8Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat4/8Chepstow5f 16yGood to SoftFlat6/6- 11(7)Top BillerJ: Dylan HoganE: Julia & Shelley Birkett2659-66Âge 49/18/1
