Straitouttacompton^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: I Furtado| OR: 65| CD

9/2

Built on a promising second in a novice race over 1m4f here last month when winning a maiden handicap over this C&D subsequently. Races off a 2lb higher mark here with the cheekpieces returning that day retained.

Form: 4645-21

Cape Greco^e/s1¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 64

8/1

Dual winner on the AW most recently over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in January last year. Below that form in France when last in action back in October and wears an eyeshield for the first time on debut for this yard.

Equidae^p,t⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 58| CD

1/1

Registered his second course success when victorious by 3L over 7f here last week. Carries a 5lb penalty for that victory and holds strong claims having won over this C&D in the past.

Form: 0-64421

Elhafei^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

4/1

18 race maiden was beaten 1L when runner-up to Straitouttacompton in a maiden handicap over this C&D earlier this month. Below that form when beaten 8½L fourth to Equidae over 7f here subsequent and is likely to find at least one too good once more.

Form: 08-8424

Glacier Fox⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Selma Grage⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 55

100/1

Finished last on both starts since joining this stable including over 5f in a selling race here last week. Probably best watched stepping back up in distance.

Form: 8000-84

(7)

Caesonia^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: F Norton| T: C Hills| OR: 46

8/1

11 race maiden showed decent form when finishing third in a handicap over 7f here recently. Previously finished 3¾L fourth over this C&D and is worth a check in the market in this event.

Form: 409-243

(6)

Limerick Lord^b⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 45| CD

14/1

Seven time winner including twice over this C&D. Disappointing eighth in a classified event last time out and is worth a check in the market off a mark 5lb lower than for when winning over C&D in March last year.

Form: 590-358

(1)

Monzino⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 8-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| C

100/1

Beaten 42L when finishing last of eigth over 1m4f at this track last week. Has run well over this trip in the past but it's over five years since his most recent victory.

Form: 90-8708

Forecasts

Equidae (1/1), Elhafei (4/1), Straitouttacompton (9/2), Cape Greco (8/1), Caesonia (8/1), Limerick Lord (14/1), Glacier Fox (100/1), Monzino (100/1)

EQUIDAE was a winner here recently and he can defy a 5lb penalty for that victory to take the concluding race on the card. The selection meets a couple of inform rivals here and second place can go the way of Straitouttacompton who won a maiden handicap at this venue on his most recent start while third can go to Cape Greco who is making his debut for a new yard following some below par efforts in France.
