6/1

Winner of five races to date and just touched over this trip at Wolverhampton on his penultimate outing. Return to 7f should suit having disappointed over 1m last time.

12/1

Successful seven times and put in better performances over 1m the last twice. Well handicapped on his old form but likely to find a few too good today.

7/1

Had a couple of good seconds to his name in November and fair efforts in handicap company over 6f the last twice. Interesting to see how he fares today.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 67| D

3/1

Chasing a hat-trick following wins over 7f and 1m at Southwell. Carries a penalty for his latest success and has to prove he's as effective on this surface.

Form: 95861-1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71

Forecasts

King of Nepal (11/4), Spun Gold (3/1), Ripp Orf (11/2), Inaam (6/1), Nezar (7/1), Sayesse (8/1), Gentlemen (12/1), Alkashaaf (25/1)

KING OF NEPAL looks capable of following up last months victory over this trip at Wolverhampton by taking this eight runner handicap affair. The selection races off a 4lb higher mark today but was a winner over C&D as a juvenile and can get the better of Spun Gold who is in good form at present having won on the fibresand at Southwell on his two most recent starts. The return to 7f can see Inaam claim third having weakened late on over 1m last time.
