Far From A Ruby^h1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 65

100/1

Successful at Kempton/Wolverhampton last summer but winless in 2 starts for David Loughnane and again showed little when last of 10 over 1m here on yard debut last month. Something to prove at present

Form: 134-480

(7)

Engles Rock^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 64| BF| C| D

11/1

Resumed winning ways over 1m here in January. 3/1, not seen to best effect when fifth of 10 in handicap back here 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not discounted back down at 7f.

Form: 296-135

Viva Voce¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 63| BF| CD

4/1

Arrives here in good order, successful at Wolverhampton/over C&D prior to a good third at Southwell (7f) 18 days ago, outpaced 2f out but keeping on. Should go well again.

Form: 6921-13

Key Look^p¹³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 63| CD

16/1

Four wins from 17 runs last year. 9/4, career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap in October., staying on to lead inside final 1f. Claims if arriving in same groove back from a break.

Form: 571221-

(9)

El Camino^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 63

33/1

Latest win at Chelmsford (1m) in October. 12/1, not in same form when sixth of 7 back at that venue 18 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Others make more appeal.

Form: 150-446

(1)

Cathayensis⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 62| CD

9/1

C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Very good second of 10 in handicap at this course (1m) 8 days ago, having run of race. Remains low-mileage and may have a little more to offer.

Form: 55/516-2

(4)

Clear Angel^h⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 62| C

11/1

Career-best display when off the mark over 6f here 2 starts back and not disgraced when fourth in a C&D event latest, not getting learest of runs but keeping on. Possibilities.

Form: 84-5214

(6)

Eyes²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 62| CD

9/1

Latest win over C&D in November. Placed on 3 of his 5 starts since, respectable second of 5 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Each-way claims again.

Form: 128-622

(10)

Pallas Lord⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: D W Whillans| OR: 61| CD

8/1

Back on track to win 14-runner C&D handicap 54 days ago, keeping on well. Has since switched yards and 1 lb higher mark shouldn't rule out another good showing.

Form: 58625-1

(3)

Purple Power^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G Boughey| OR: 54| BF| D

13/8

7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Mick Quinn when creditable second of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 8 days ago, conceding first run. Shortlist material.

Form: 76155-2

(8)

Dreamcasing³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 52

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 100/1) 35 days ago. Makes handicap debut and likely best watched unless market vibes are strong.

Form: 65-0

(11)

Power Player^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

40/1

One win from 25 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in minor event at this course (8f, 14/1) 10 days ago. Still, others make more appeal.

Form: 08-9805

Forecasts

Purple Power (13/8), Viva Voce (4/1), Pallas Lord (8/1), Cathayensis (9/1), Eyes (9/1), Clear Angel (11/1), Engles Rock (11/1), Key Look (16/1), El Camino (33/1), Dreamcasing (33/1), Power Player (40/1), Far From A Ruby (100/1)

PURPLE POWER produced a promising first effort on yard debut when runner-up over 6f here 8 days ago, that despite conceding first run and her rider losing his whip when beginning his challenge. The return to 7f looks a likely plus and she's one to be interested in. Viva Voce, Engles Rock and Pallas Lord head up the dangers in a competitive handicap.
