Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 65| D

3/1

Registered her fourth victory in succession when winning over this trip at Bath (good) last week. Carries a penalty for that success and likely to run well once more.

10/1

Successful three times on the AW since his most recent start to turf and finished a close fourth over this trip at Newcastle last time out. Interesting if repeating that effort back on turf.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 63| D

6/1

Running well on the AW this winter including when beaten a neck over this trip at Southwell last month. Held there subsequently and interesting having finished runner-up off this mark at Thirsk (good-to-firm) last September.

Coiste Bodhar^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| D

7/4

Made a pleasing return to turf racing when finishing third over this trip at Nottingham (good-to-soft) last week. One to note racing off the same mark in this.

Lucata^b⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 45

Placed on heavy ground at two but struggled in three starts since joining this stable and likely to struggle once more.

Form: 253/0-49

Go Charlie^h⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45| D

33/1

Some decent efforts in defeat this winter most recently when fourth over this trip at Wolverhampton in February. Racing from out of the handicap on his return.

Forecasts

Coiste Bodhar (7/4), La Fortuna (3/1), Kibaar (5/1), Dapper Man (6/1), Windforpower (10/1), Pavers Pride (12/1), Endeavour (14/1), Go Charlie (33/1), Kirkby's Phantom (50/1), Lucata (66/1)

With a strong pace likely in this opening contest confirmed hold-up performer LA FORTUNA can continue her good run by registering a fifth consecutive victory. The selection carries a penalty for her most recent victory but looks capable of seeing off Coiste Bodhar who made a pleasing return to turf racing when placed at Nottingham recently. Windforpower is fit from a productive spell on the AW during the winter and he can claim third on this occasion.
