Kyllukey²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: F Norton| T: C Wallis| OR: 45| BF| D

7/1

Has run creditably in three starts for this stable after leaving Milton Bradley's yard. Strike rate of 2-48 so not one to place maximum faith in from a win perspective.

Form: 674-544

(7)

Legal Mind^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: Emma Owen| OR: 49

6/1

No wins and placed only twice in 12 races. Finished second in a C&D handicap in December, however, and a repeat of that display would see him go close.

Form: 42-7536

(6)

Lisnamoyle Lady^p1,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mathers| T: Martin Smith| OR: 40

25/1

Unplaced in eight starts and was only ninth of 11 on latest outing at Kempton. The fitting of cheekpieces needs to have a significant effect.

Form: 480U-99

(14)

Major Muscari^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S A Harris| OR: 41| D

100/1

Veteran who was a tailed-off last of 13 on latest outing at Southwell on second run following a lengthy absence. Not hard to oppose.

Form: 6050/90

(8)

Poppy May¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 48| CD

9/1

Landed a C&D handicap in December, but most recent displays have been disappointing. Fair chance of returning to winning form in this company if putting her best foot forward.

Form: 912-985

(12)

Soldier Blue^v³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 50| BF

7/1

Maiden after 13 races, but has some fair form to his credit. Favourite when unplaced at Wolverhampton when last seen in February and can do better in this company.

Form: 5772-48

(13)

Swendab^b,h²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 50| D

33/1

Grand old campaigner who has won 17 of his 138 races. Has not been at his best in recent handicaps, but this is a more realistic mission.

Form: 5390-97

(9)

Swiss Cross^p²⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-8| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 50| D

20/1

Evergreen performer who defied his years to perform well throughout the winter. Chance on these terms as he bids for career win number 16.

Form: 273575

(11)

Ascot Dreamer³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 50

6/4

Maiden after 12 starts, but last two AW runs over 6f have produced creditable displays. One of the more convincing contenders.

Form: 896-743

(3)

Ever Rock⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: J S Moore| OR: 49

5/1

Solid efforts on last four starts over 6f, suggesting her turn is not too far away. First run at this venue, however, so interesting to see how she fares.

Form: 44-2525

(1)

Speed Skater²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 49

25/1

Promise in a Wolverhampton novice event in January, but has been well beaten in two subsequent handicaps. Too soon to be writing her off and this is easier.

Form: 90-500

Forecasts

Ascot Dreamer (6/4), Ever Rock (5/1), Legal Mind (6/1), Soldier Blue (7/1), Kyllukey (7/1), Alligator (7/1), Poppy May (9/1), Dream Ally (14/1), Tellovoi (14/1), Swiss Cross (20/1), Speed Skater (25/1), Lisnamoyle Lady (25/1), Swendab (33/1), Major Muscari (100/1)

Success for veteran performers Swendab or Swiss Cross would be popular and both can be given chances in an ordinary race. Legal Mind has C&D form which gives him fair claims, but the same can be said of POPPY MAY, who has the ability to win this if bouncing back from some moderate recent efforts. Speed Skater, Ascot Dreamer and Ever Rock are three-year-olds who could get involved.
