Engrave^p⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 62| CD

2/1

3-time C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap here (7/2) 7 days ago, keeping on well. Solid claims under a penalty.

Form: 17-3441

Fair Power³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 59| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 11/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 38 days ago. Out of sorts at present.

Form: 3007-09

Critique¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 58

18/5

7/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f), would have benefited from stronger handling. Off 171 days. Remains on a fair mark, so warrants respect with fully-fledged jockey back on.

Dyagilev^b⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 57| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. Below form since, though, so hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 0416-77

Bird To Love^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 22/1) 29 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 72-8980

(4)

Headley George²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 55| CD

7/4

3/1, career best when winning 14-runner minor event at this C&D 21 days ago, suited by strong pace. Consistent sort who should put up another bold bid.

Form: 6-42221

Forecasts

Headley George (7/4), Engrave (2/1), Critique (18/5), Lady Of York (15/2), Dyagilev (8/1), Fair Power (14/1), Bird To Love (22/1)

CRITIQUE did well to finish third at Wolverhampton when last seen considering how wide a course he took, so a chance is taken on him to defy an appealing mark on his reappearance. Recent C&D winners Engrave and Headley George should give another good account of themselves.
