Swiss Cross^p,t⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 71| CD

17/2

C&D winner who has picked up 11 races including four under this rider and handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him to his last winning mark. A recent win in Jersey earned him a penalty here last week which set him a difficult task over a trip short of his best. Looks sure to be a force to be reckoned with in this.

Good Luck Charm^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70| CD

9/2

Triple C&D winner who is down to the kind of mark from which he is proven to be competitive. Had blinkers on for the first time this season when looking unlucky here last week. Has picked up at least a race a year since 2012 and this looks a good opportunity to add to that tally.

Form: 88-0974

(7)

Soaring Spirits^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 69| CD

9/2

Landed this 12 months ago from an 8lb lower mark. A recent Nottingham victory underlines his wellbeing and he has proven himself off higher marks in the last 12 months. On a track that suits course specialists, he has two wins and four places from nine starts.

Form: 8-50741

Pick A Little²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 67| CD

6/1

Has won four races here and placed five times in 15 starts. Would have found the ground against him at Chepstow three weeks ago and gets in here off a 2lb lower mark than his latest success. Runner-up in this 12 months ago and has a 10lb pull in the weights with Soaring Spirits for 1½L.

Form: 10675-5

Jumping Jack¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 71| D

5/2

Won a couple of AW races last August and a couple of good efforts in defeat have left him high in the weights. Gradually coming down the ratings but recent efforts have offered little encouragement that his turn may be near. Recent headgear removed and yard are having a good month.

Welsh Inlet¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger| OR: 58| CD

12/1

C&D winner and 7f specialist who looks high enough in the weights given her age but showed she still has ability when winning at Kempton in February. Went down narrowly in a tight finish over C&D two weeks ago and another typically honest effort is expected.

Form: 203452

(4)

With Approval^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 58| CD

9/2

C&D winner on a career low mark from which he has posted two good efforts in the last few weeks. Despite a win in this grade last August, he does tend to struggle at this level and this looks a more genuine class five contest.

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

T: George Baker J: L P Keniry

Forecasts

Jumping Jack (5/2), Good Luck Charm (9/2), Soaring Spirits (9/2), With Approval (9/2), Altiko Tommy (5/1), Pick A Little (6/1), Swiss Cross (17/2), Welsh Inlet (12/1)

A number of track specialists line up for this including the first two in this last year, Soaring Spirits and Pick A Little. The latter is weighted to come out on top this time if retaining the same level of ability. Swiss Cross has been given a chance by the handicapper but the vote goes to GOOD LUCK CHARM who was hampered when challenging here last week. A mark in the region of today's over this C&D are his optimum conditions and this looks an ideal opportunity to add to his record.
