Marselan¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65

100/1

First run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when last of 7 in handicap at this course (6f, 33/1) 17 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 10785-7

(4)

Porfin¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P S McEntee| OR: 65| D

9/2

7/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly, and this isn't a strong race by any means, so could take a hand.

Form: 453227

(7)

Moonraker^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| D

25/1

Tenth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (5f) 30 days ago. Has seemingly gone off the boil.

Form: 203-960

(12)

Impressor⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 63

4/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. 20/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 68 days ago. Tricky assignment with wide draw to overcome.

Form: 00303-7

(11)

Tanasoq¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 10/3, creditable 2 lengths third of 9 to Blackcurrent in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. On a handy mark and unlucky not to finish closer last time. Has stall 11 to contend with, though.

Form: 785-403

(6)

Amasova²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 58| D

4/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Good third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 11/2) 21 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 657-013

(5)

The Gloaming¹³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 57| D

50/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in October. 12/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft). Off 135 days. Hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 257170-

(3)

Mokaman¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 56| D

50/1

125/1, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Doesn't make any appeal.

Form: 37-5800

(2)

Joshua R^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: Helen Cuthbert| OR: 53| BF| D

11/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 11/4, respectable 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Blackcurrent in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 966-224

(10)

Ubahha¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 53

12/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Fourth of 6 in minor event at this C&D (28/1) 17 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 355634

(9)

Blackcurrent^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 52| CD

9/2

Unreliable individual. 3-time C&D winner. 15/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, sticking to task. Hard to know if he'll arrive in the same form.

Form: 61-1251

Forecasts

Amasova (4/1), Impressor (4/1), Blackcurrent (9/2), Porfin (9/2), Joshua R (11/2), Tanasoq (11/1), Ubahha (12/1), Moonraker (25/1), Mokaman (50/1), The Gloaming (50/1), Kingston Star (80/1), Marselan (100/1)

AMASOVA arrives in top form and she's still well treated on last season's efforts, so she gets the nod in this trappy sprint. Porfin is likely to put a poor run behind him, so he's regarded as a big player, while another solid showing from Joshua R seems likely.
