Faraway Fields⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 60

28/1

Well held on handicap debut (1m, AW) at Lingfield last month. Drops 7lb and in grade here, but can only watch until we see more from him.

Form: 6/0-70

My Brother Mike⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: K Frost| OR: 58| D

6/1

0-5 in turf, both wins having being at Kempton (1m2f/1m3f, AW). 4lb lower than the more recent of those, in January, but plenty to prove back on this surface.

Form: 440-168

Tobacco Road^h,t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 58

12/1

Back on his last winning mark here. Trip fine, though his best form has been on good or slower, so rain would help. Disappointing last twice on AW, but can't rule him out back on turf.

Form: 01-4370

False Id^b⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56

11/4

Has enjoyed significantly more success on AW than on turf, and won at Wolverhampton last time (1m1½f) in apprentice company, so escapes penalty here. More needed on this surface, but yard in form and enters calculations.

Form: 836251

Luna Magic^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: B Doyle| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 55

8/1

Went close from 7lb higher at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last August, but unable to reproduce that form since, and recent AW runs give her plenty to prove back on turf.

Form: 074-586

(11)

Dutch Coed¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Tinkler| OR: 55

9/1

Fast ground Hamilton winner (1m½f) last summer, when 3lb lower, and went close from this mark at Beverley (good to soft) later. Recent reappearance run should help, and can't write him off here.

Form: 54240-0

Pivello¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: Tom Clover| OR: 54WS

14/1

Big prices and well held in all three starts last year. Since had wind surgery and can only watch on reappearance.

Molten Lava^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: S Gollings| OR: 53| C

5/1

Hasn't won of turf since a 1m success here in 2015. Very competitive from this mark on AW on his last two starts, but has a bit to prove over this far and from a wide enough draw.

Form: 1-26023

Rock On Bertie^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 51| D

14/1

Sole success came at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last July, when 6lb lower, for Nigel Tinkler. Was beaten just ½L back there for this trainer in September, when 1lb lower, so can't rule him out of straighter for recent run.

Form: 71453-8

(3)

Hidden Dream^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 47| D

15/2

0-5 in turf, his sole win being on AW (1m2f) at Chelmsford in November, when 1lb lower. Back in better form on AW last time, but inconsistent and others have stronger cases.

Form: 1-56654

(15)

Kodi Koh²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: S G West| OR: 45

20/1

Has dropped to a career-low mark and had yet to finish in the frame in 12 attempts. Out of the handicap and drawn wide. Others preferred.

Form: 75-6599

John Caesar^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: J F Egan| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 45| D

33/1

2-56. with both wins having been on soft ground back-to-back at Beverley in 2017. Has not shown enough for some time to consider him from out of the handicap.

Form: 3360-06

Ejabah⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 45

100/1

0-24 and second in a seller at Southwell last time does not suggest she is about to break her maiden from this stall today.

Forecasts

False Id (11/4), Molten Lava (5/1), My Brother Mike (6/1), Hidden Dream (15/2), Luna Magic (8/1), Topology (8/1), Dutch Coed (9/1), Incredible Dream (10/1), Tobacco Road (12/1), Battle of Issus (12/1), Pivello (14/1), Rock On Bertie (14/1), Kodi Koh (20/1), Sunshineandbubbles (20/1), Faraway Fields (28/1), John Caesar (33/1), Ejabah (100/1)

Very modest fayre here, with few that make appeal. Of them, Incredible Dream would be considered if the ground goes softer than good, while Rock On Bertie and Dutch Coed are others who could make an impression. However, the suggestion is FALSE ID, who arrives in good form and escapes a penalty for his AW win last time.
