Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 87

100/1

Latest win at Haydock in September. 6/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm). Off 121 days. First run for yard after leaving Mark Johnston. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 123417-

Animal Instinct²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87| D

4/1

Latest win at Kempton in December. Creditable ½-length second of 6 to Mobashr in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/2) 22 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 6/73612-

(3)

Lequinto⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 84| D

22/1

Shoot To Kill⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Brisland| OR: 82| C

14/1

Course winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/2) 45 days ago, all out. This is a good deal tougher.

Follow Your Heart^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: S Hodgson| OR: 78| BF

14/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in December. 5/6, fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Not one to write off.

Form: 247214-

(5)

Apex King²²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 77| CD

22/1

3-time C&D winner. 50/1, 1½ lengths fourth of 6 to Mobashr in handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Unlikely to turn the tables.

Form: 218894-

Forecasts

Diderot (2/1), Mobashr (5/2), Animal Instinct (4/1), Keyser Soze (9/1), Shoot To Kill (14/1), Follow Your Heart (14/1), Lequinto (22/1), Apex King (22/1), Bowman (80/1), Tadreeb (100/1)

MOBASHR has an upwardly-mobile profile and scored comfortably (despite not looking entirely straightforward) over C&D last time, so he gets the marginal vote. Diderot is lightly raced and found plenty to make a winning start for James Ferguson at Chelmsford recently, so he's a big danger, while Follow Your Heart is far from one to be giving up on.
