King Robert^t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 72| D

10/3

Hasn't won since March last year but back to best when beaten a neck at Lingfield on Monday (clear of remainder) and runs off the same mark today. This represents the lowest grade he has ever raced in so must be a serious contender.

Form: 9-95462

Invincible Larne^v²⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Quinn| OR: 70| D

4/1

Small field winner at Yarmouth over 5f in August and ran just as well in two runs over 6f after that, though return to the minimum here no problem for this well drawn front-runner.

Form: 643123-

Big Lachie¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70| D

4/1

Last win was this time last year over this trip but suspicion that 6f suits better these days, as his best efforts at Wolverhampton this winter were at that distance and he can take a bit of him to hit his stride.

Form: 37-6202

Big Time Maybe^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67| BF| CD

9/1

Ran poorly on comeback at Lingfield at the weekend and can sometimes be tardy at the start so not certain that he'll be able to take advantage of his plum draw.

Form: 6-64450

(7)

Becker⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 66| BF| CD

2/1

Ran well from a high draw at Lingfield when fourth over 6f last weekend but drop down to the minimum is no problem as his three career wins have been at this trip and jockey booking takes the eye.

Form: 581-234

(8)

Coronation Cottage¹⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M S Saunders| OR: 64| D

25/1

Sprang a 25/1 shock at Wolverhampton in October and not far off that form in two runs since. Can front run but widest draw today will make things difficult at a track where high draw over 5f is a concern.

Form: 660135-

(6)

Aquadabra²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: C Mason| OR: 59| D

40/1

Had a golden spell last summer when winning three times all in tight finishes, but has generally needed first run back after after a break and still 4lb above last win.

Form: 169254-

(4)

Celerity^p¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

200/1

Third in a seller in October at Wolverhampton but a long standing maiden who is very hard to make a case for from 8lb out of the handicap.

Form: 030070-

Forecasts

Becker (2/1), King Robert (10/3), Invincible Larne (4/1), Big Lachie (4/1), Big Time Maybe (9/1), Coronation Cottage (25/1), Aquadabra (40/1), Celerity (200/1)

KING ROBERT has fitness on his side from a solid comeback run on Monday at Lingfield and with a low draw in his favour can get his head in front. Invincible Larne could get the run of the race from stall 2 and may prove the main threat with Becker completing the short list.
