Percy Willis^p⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 67| D

4/1

Placed on numerous occasions last year and capitalised on drop into a 0-65 when shedding maiden tag at Newcastle (12.5f) last week. Possibilities with a repeat under a penalty.

Form: 33326-1

Elhafei⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: A Mullen| T: J Mackie| OR: 65| D

22/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Likely needed first run for 5 months when sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in December. Entitled to be sharper now.

Elusive Artist²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

40/1

14/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Kempton (2m) 23 days ago, underfoot conditions a plausible excuse. However, record on the level was mixed for previous stable. Others more persuasive.

Form: 10/4870-

(10)

Aljaryaal^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Parr| OR: 64| D

7/4

Made a bright start from a low base for present yard, getting on top close home to double career tally at Kempton (12f) 11 days ago. He looks one to be interested in again from 2 lb higher.

Form: 0/6172-1

(2)

Schabang³⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was below pick of form in maiden/minor events when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 months ago. Betting may guide starting out for new yard over longer trip.

Form: 766/6-

(9)

Temur Khan^p1⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| BF| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) 59 days ago, doing too much too soon. In good form when last seen on the level and booking of Probert catches the eye.

Form: 051412-

(8)

Eagle's Realm^p,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: F O'Brien| OR: 61

4/1

12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, not knocked about having been short of room from 3f out. Good showing not ruled out.

Form: 82/0235-

(12)

Henry The Fifth^t1¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 60

80/1

Last of 5 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in August, beaten under 2f out. Can only be watched despite his sliding mark on return to action unless betting vibes are particularly positive.

Form: 783675-

(5)

Smokey Malone^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 58| C

15/2

Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, not ideally placed but noted running on. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 326835-

(3)

Romulan Prince²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 57

16/1

Not disgraced sixth of 14 in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, left poorly placed off a steady gallop. Mark has eased further but others more appealing for win purposes.

Form: 565966-

(4)

Dew You Believe⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 47

15/2

Respectable fifth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (12f, 14/1) 7 days ago, albeit not looking entirely straightforward. However, not out of things from his lowly mark on balance.

Form: 68863-5

Aljaryaal (7/4), Percy Willis (4/1), Eagle's Realm (4/1), Smokey Malone (15/2), Dew You Believe (15/2), Romulan Prince (16/1), Bug Boy (20/1), Elhafei (22/1), Schabang (28/1), Temur Khan (33/1), Elusive Artist (40/1), Henry The Fifth (80/1)

ALJARYAAL has made a bright start for Joseph Parr, arriving just in time to double his career tally over this sort of trip at Kempton 11 days ago. He gets the nod to continue the good work equipped with first-time cheekpieces, with Percy Willis and Eagle's Realm a couple of others to consider.
