50/1

Failed to beat a rival home in two starts since joining this yard including over 5f at Newcastle at the start of this month. Races off a mark 3lb lower than for his most recent victory and the return to 6f is a positive.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 72| CD

7/1

Decent effort in finishing 4L sixth in a 6f handicap on the AW at Kempton earlier this month. Has won over this C&D in the past and market support would be notable on this occasion.

Form: 51107-6

Mutabaahy¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 70| D

14/1

Back from a break when finishing 6L fifth in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Races off a mark 3lb higher than when winning over the minimum distance at Wolverhampton in February.

Form: 31-0125

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69| CD

12/1

Successful three times on turf including over this C&D on good ground in August last year. Races off a 7lb higher mark here on his first start since finishing fourth over 7f at Chelmsford in October.

Requinto Dawn^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| BF

15/2

Has run well in defeat on both starts since the resumption of racing most recently when beaten a neck over 5f on the AW at Lingfield just over a fortnight ago. Interesting stepping up in trip with both previous victories coming on turf.

Form: 2-64F42

Fox Hill⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 63| D

7/4

Winning for the fourth time in 13 turf starts when successful by 3¾L over this trip at Thirsk nine days ago. Carries a 5lb penalty for that victory and looks likely to play a leading role with the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit.

Form: 1513-91

(4)

Sandridge Lad³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: J Ryan| OR: 66| D

10/3

Finished third on his two most recent appearances including when beaten 2L over this trip at Windsor (good) earlier this week. Races off the same mark here and is one for the shortlist in this event.

Form: 111233

(6)

Case Key^b²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| CD

10/1

C&D winner was making his seasonal debut when finishing last of nine over 7f at Yarmouth (firm) at the start of this month. Drop in trip a positive but others hold more obvious claims at present.

Form: 16578-9

My Town Chicago¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 65| D

22/1

Held twice since registering a victory over this trip at Kempton at the end of October. Changed stables since his latest outing and is probably best watched racing off a mark 5lb higher than for that Kempton triumph.

Forecasts

Fox Hill (7/4), Sandridge Lad (10/3), Edgewood (6/1), Inexes (7/1), Requinto Dawn (15/2), Case Key (10/1), Final Frontier (12/1), Mutabaahy (14/1), My Town Chicago (22/1), Cool Spirit (50/1)

FOX HILL impressed when winning at Thirsk recently and she looks well in carrying just a 5lb penalty for that victory. The selection looks capable of taking this event at the chief expense of Requinto Dawn who has been running well on the AW in recent times while third place can go to Sandridge Lad who was placed at Windsor earlier in the week.
