Limerick Lord^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 52

14/1

Struggling badly of late and not won since a Southwell win at the end of 2015. Disappointed at that course when last seen and has a wide draw that is off-putting here.

Form: 360726

Afkar¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 52

5/1

Having his second spell with this trainer and he clearly knows how to get the best out of him. Good third at Newcastle last time when just fading in the closing stages and 7f looks more up his street so he's passed over for now.

Form: 950-236

(7)

I Can't Stop^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: J M Bradley| OR: 50

10/1

Made a promising start to his career but shown nothing in four starts for this yard. Hard to fancy after last weeks Kempton effort.

Form: 040889

(3)

Cyflymder⁶⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 49

20/1

Useful performer on his day but very little shown of late and was probably always a little better over 7f. Probably a little long in the tooth for this game now.

Form: 2580-04

(5)

Captain K^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T J Murphy| T: G Elliott| OR: 48

4/1

Still a maiden after 12 starts but he's not completely devoid of ability. Has raced keenly on his last few starts but looks capable of landing a weak race such as this if settling better.

Form: 245037

(13)

Ertidaad^b⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D A Parkes⁽⁵⁾| T: Emma Owen| OR: 47

16/1

Remains a maiden after 22 starts and well held over a mile at Kempton last week. Not beaten far off 5lb higher mark at Chelmsford in November but wide draw makes life tough here and trainer has a very low strike rate.

Form: 905355

(4)

Randall's Alannah⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 47

7/1

On a long-losing run having not won since a Sligo three-runner contest on heavy ground in 2012. Did run well here two starts back finishing second of 12 and that's among the best form on offer; should go close if short break has freshened her up.

Form: 6-98527

(12)

Lord Murphy²⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 46

7/2

Tailed off and only beaten two rivals home across all three starts to date and makes handicap debut here. Market support would be interesting but he's hard to place a lot of confidence in and has a wide draw that makes life tough.

Form: 80-0122

(1)

Moving Robe^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: N Mackay| T: C Allen| OR: 46

7/1

No doubt her best performances have come around here and went close last time over 7f. Step back up in trip seems unlikely to be an issue and she has a desirable draw so would appear to have as good a chance as any.

Form: 57-2865

(8)

Mowhoob¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: B Barr| OR: 46

14/1

Not won since June 2014. Unplaced on six starts for this yard and trainer has a poor record on the Flat so despite the booking of this jockey being a positive, it's not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 451022

(14)

Desert Chief^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

33/1

Very unreliable type who has almost got to the stage where he is refusing to race from the stalls. Never as much as placed in 11 starts to date and is drawn very wide so he looks up against it once again.

Form: 9475-09

(9)

Kristoff³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 45

25/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts. Best efforts have come on the AW but no sign of getting his first win on the board in recent times so he's another with plenty of question marks.

Form: 388526

(11)

Just Marion³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: P Aspell| T: C Ellam| OR: 45

66/1

Not managed to place in his last 15 starts and has a wide draw to contend with. Trainers never had a winner on the Flat in 27 attempts.

Form: 005578

(2)

Mr Turner¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 45

20/1

Unplaced at big odds on all six starts to date and was slowly away here on AW debut last time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 07-8808

(15)

Mobley Chaos^p1¹⁰⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J L Flint| OR: 45

80/1

Steps back up in trip and has the widest draw of all to contend with after nearly three years off the track. Slowly away on last few starts and can only be watched after such a significant absence.

Form: 590/0F0

Forecasts

Lord Murphy (7/2), Captain K (4/1), Afkar (5/1), Randall's Alannah (7/1), Moving Robe (7/1), I Can't Stop (10/1), Mowhoob (14/1), Limerick Lord (14/1), Rosie Crowe (14/1), Ertidaad (16/1), Mr Turner (20/1), Cyflymder (20/1), Kristoff (25/1), Desert Chief (33/1), Just Marion (66/1), Mobley Chaos (80/1)

RANDALL'S ALANNAH has shown glimpses of ability and she ran well on her last visit here so she may just be able to get the better of another filly in the race in the shape of Moving Robe who is drawn to attack (1). Captain K could threaten these two if he settles better in the early part of his race. 1. Randall's Alannah 2. Moving Robe 3. Captain K
