Motown Mick¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T J Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| D

7/2

Consistent, conditions fine here and bumped into an improving one at Lingfield last time, although in truth he probably ran to form. Has a nice habit of winning and that counts for plenty here. Every chance of getting back on the scoresheet.

Form: 11231-2

Morning Has Broken¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 85| CD

5/6

Could not have win any easier here in early January, running out a 6L victor and followed that up with another all-the-way win at Lingfield. Seems to be improving quickly and her front-running tactics could have plenty of these in trouble again.

Form: 5-11

Windsor Cross^v³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| BF| D

8/1

Quick turnaround after getting beaten at odds-on at Newcastle in the week, a rather disappointing effort after a good win there earlier in the month. Reappearance here suggests that was just an off day, so chances if bouncing back.

Form: 5134-14

(4)

Ojala³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Dow| OR: 80| D

4/1

Has won his last two, winning over this trip at Lingfield at the end of December despite being a bit keen. Up in grade and the weights here, so needs more, but small fields seems to suit and he can't be ruled out in a tricky contest.

Forecasts

Morning Has Broken (5/6), Motown Mick (7/2), Ojala (4/1), Windsor Cross (8/1)

MORNING HAS BROKEN has been most impressive in winning her last two, and the way she's been dominating her races from start to finish suggests she's going to have the other trio doing plenty of work to keep up with her. She can complete the hat-trick. Motown Mick is likely to be the outsider of these but he knows where the winning line is, and his consistency means he's always going to be a threat. Windsor Cross and Ojala both have a little more to do, but get weight and can't be discounted.
