Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: C Poste| T: R Dickin| OR: 121| C

9/1

Has had a tremendous winter and his latest run may have come too soon following his victory here eight days earlier. Expected to stay this longer trip providing the ground remains good.

Form: 211315

Compadre^h,t¹²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 120| BF| D

6/1

Off the track since disappointing at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. Possible that conditions were softer than ideal and he landed a gamble on his penultimate start when conditions were more favourable.

Form: 3-2831P

Cajun Fiddle¹³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 116

11/2

Well-handicapped on her hurdles form but she has been in decline over the past year and she needs to prove herself.

Form: 235P-46

Bestwork¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 114| D

9/4

Made all to score on Boxing Day and he has underperformed since when denied that role. Should have little difficulty in setting the tempo and the stable have returned to form.

Form: 4516P5

Tikken Away⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: H Cobden| T: R Walford| OR: 107

11/2

Has shown some promise over hurdles but has not made much progress and his handicap mark seems to overestimate his achievements. Switches to fences and steps up in trip with an awful lot to prove.

Form: 2-06865

Minella Tweet^h,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 106| D

3/1

Hit form last spring with back to back victories including one in higher grade. May have found the ground too soft and the trip too far last time, but that has seen him drop below his last winning mark and he is of obvious interest here.

Forecasts

Bestwork (9/4), Minella Tweet (3/1), Cajun Fiddle (11/2), Tikken Away (11/2), Compadre (6/1), Vocaliser (9/1)

Vocaliser has had a good winter but there may be better handicapped rivals in this and he is unproven at the trip. Bestwork should be able to force the pace, but he may set this up nicely for MINELLA TWEET who came good at this stage last year and who will appreciate the quicker conditions.
