Tinker Tailor¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 55

25/1

Beaten just one horse home in three starts this winter and dropped a total of 14lb as a result. Steps up in trip now but needs to turn over a new leaf to be considered here.

Form: 506-878

(14)

Hold Hands^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Fran Berry| T: B G Powell| OR: 55

8/1

16-race maiden mare but has placed in her last two outings over C&D including on penultimate start in January. Has claims on that form and entitled to be there or thereabouts.

Form: 533/9-27

(11)

Roy Rocket³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 54| D

7/1

All six career wins have come at his beloved Brighton and has yet to reach even a place in 12 starts on the AW, although was a fair fourth over C&D in January. Not completely dismissed but others appeal far more.

Form: 5576-45

(1)

Wally's Wisdom^t1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 53

6/1

18-race maiden but produced fair effort on debut for this yard over C&D last month when 66/1 fourth, staying on nicely. Dropped 1lb so comes into the reckoning if able to reproduce that level of form.

Form: 55007/4

(12)

Anton Chigurh^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 53

20/1

Three A/W wins to his name but none further that 9 1/2 furlongs. Into the veteran stage now and hard to imagine he's getting better so on balance has plenty to do at this trip.

Form: 760-578

(13)

Estibdaad^t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 52| C| D

20/1

Stays this trip and is fairly handicapped but hasn't produced much in recent starts and looks out of sorts at the moment.

Form: 05-8586

(4)

Handsome Dan²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 52

16/1

Veteran Flat maiden although has won in NH sphere over the years. First visit to this venue but looks to have plenty on his plate even in this lowly company.

Form: 808-474

(3)

Sanches¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr J R J Naylor| OR: 52| D

12/1

Sprang a 66/1 shock over this trip at Lingfield in Decmeber but hasn't built on that in two subsequent outings. Dropped 2lb so is competitively weighted if he takes to this track and is on a going day.

Form: 8961-40

(7)

Forestry⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 48

16/1

Beaten a long way in each of his three maidens at up to 10f. Handicap debut now and steps up 2f after making some late headway over a mile at Southwell last time. A potential improver and the market is well worth a check.

Form: 69-6

(6)

Koubba^t⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 46

3/1

Has run well last two starts in similar grade on AW and jockey booking very much catches the eye. Expected to be in the thick of it again and looks one for the short list.

Form: 07004-3

(10)

Bassino^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Ryan Powell| T: J Bennett| OR: 45

25/1

12-race maiden who has failed to capitalise on falling mark and shown very little in recent outings. On balance of form once again has it all to do.

Form: 70090-0

(8)

Hong Kong Joe^e/s⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 45| BF

14/1

25-race maiden with a touch of the slows, but to be far has run well on his last two attempts over C&D, including when 66/1 third here in November. One of the more likely outsiders.

Form: 70384-9

(9)

Hi There Silver¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Madgwick| OR: 46

9/2

20-race maiden not beaten far though in both recent visits to this venue. Clearly finds winning quite a challenge but may be of interest to some place punters.

Form: 6053-23

(5)

Shamonix¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

25/1

Showed next to nothing in previous 10 starts last year, but did better on return after a break when 7th over a mile here last month. Worth a try at this longer trip and not a complete no-hoper.

Form: 90957-7

Forecasts

Koubba (3/1), Hi There Silver (9/2), Wally's Wisdom (6/1), Roy Rocket (7/1), Hold Hands (8/1), Sanches (12/1), Hong Kong Joe (14/1), Forestry (16/1), Handsome Dan (16/1), Anton Chigurh (20/1), Estibdaad (20/1), Tinker Tailor (25/1), Bassino (25/1), Shamonix (25/1)

Most of these are of limited ability or are out of form so a chance is taken that handicap debutant FORESTRY can step up to the plate at a fair price. He hinted at a modicum of talent last time at Southwell. Koubba has a clear chance having run well in her last two starts and looks the form pick, and the maidens Wally's Wisdom and Hold Hands are not out of it on the pick of their latest efforts. Hi There Silver is one of a number of outsiders who may well belie their odds and challenge for a place if in the mood.
