Nick Vedder^p⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: R Brisland| OR: 58| CD

6/4

Came from a long way back to end long losing run in 12-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, plenty in hand. Cheekpieces back on, and has obvious claims under a penalty.

Form: 95054-1

Afro Blue²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 59

28/1

Tenth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Others more persuasive despite easing mark.

Form: 855800-

Rayyan¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 58| BF

9/4

Shaped best when splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Wolverhampton late November, but failed to meet expectations in first-time cheekpieces last time. Proven on this surface and may bounce back.

Form: 35D24-

Leo Davinci²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58

14/1

Third at Wolverhampton in November and excuses both starts since, left poorly placed at Kempton 25 days ago. Makes fibresand debut and remains one to bear in mind.

Form: 334349-

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: J F Egan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 45| C| D

20/1

4-time course winner, but twenty two runs since last win in 2019 and was again below form when 5¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Nick Vedder in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 7 days ago.

Forecasts

Nick Vedder (6/4), Rayyan (9/4), Sir Rodneyredblood (5/1), Magnificia (8/1), Jazz Legend (10/1), Leo Davinci (14/1), Archimedes (20/1), Afro Blue (28/1)

NICK VEDDER swept through from a long way back to score with plenty in hand over C&D last week and, with loads of scope from a handicapping perspective on old form, should prove capable of following up under a 4 lb penalty. Rayyan split a pair of subsequent winners on his penultimate start, so is not one to write off despite running below expectations last time.
