3/1

Ran well when finishing third in a 1m2f handicap at Ripon (good-to-soft) on seasonal reappearance just over a week ago. Races off the same mark here and holds strong claims dropping slightly in trip.

22/1

Victorious over 1m3f on the Flat at Le Pin Au Haras (good) in France on final start for Pascal Bary last October. Struggled in two starts over hurdles for this yard and is of interest on her return to the Flat.

Dark Jedi¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79

16/5

Making his debut for this yard when finishing 3¼L seventh in a 1m handicap at Pontefract (good) earlier this month. Interesting to see how he performs in this contest.

Form: 50658-7

Howzer Black^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77| C

85/40

Made a winning return to turf when victorious in a good-to-soft ground 1m2f handicap at Haydock three weeks ago. Drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience too much and he is one for the shortlist despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 6-54461

Sarvi^p²⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 72| CD

15/2

C&D winner last August but has struggled on her last two starts including when 23L sixth over hurdles at Kelso (2m, good-to-soft) in October. Interesting contender on seasonal reappearance.

Novelty Seeker²³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72

40/1

Back from well over a year off the track when finishing 20L seventh at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) in October. Struggled over the same C&D the following month and is probably best watched on seasonal debut.

Forecasts

Howzer Black (85/40), Mulligatawny (3/1), Dark Jedi (16/5), Where's Jeff (15/2), Sarvi (15/2), Five Helmets (8/1), Sister Midnight (22/1), Novelty Seeker (40/1)

SISTER MIDNIGHT impressed when winning on the Flat last autumn and she can make her first start in this sphere for this stable a winning one with success in this eight runner handicap. The selection should handle the forecast soft going and she can see off top weight Mulligatawny who ran well when placed last time out. Third place can go to Howzer Black who was a winner over further on his most recent start.
