Global Esteem¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 81| D

15/2

Seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago, going off too hard. Forecast quicker ground here will help and he'll be a danger to all if returning to something like his best.

Form: 160-387

(8)

Roman Dynasty^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: J Parr| OR: 80

6/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. That represents pretty decent form in the context of this race and he's a player off 1 lb lower.

Form: 56526-3

Cisco Disco²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| D

20/1

28/1, good second of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, heavy) when last seen in October. Certainly not without hope on debut for leading northern yard, but possible he'll need the run following 7 months off.

Form: 535092-

Hello Zabeel³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78| BF| DWS

3/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Chelmsford City (7f) 38 days ago. That was a rather disappointing effort and needs to bounce back here following a wind op.

Form: 20221-6

(9)

Sadiqaa^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 77| C| D

9/2

Course winner. 14/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Down another 2 lb and return to this trip a good thing, so he's one to consider.

Form: 3120-66

(2)

Sucellus^t²³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Megan Nicholls| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 77| D

6/1

12/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) on final appearance of 2021. First run for yard after leaving Oliver Greenall and needs to raise his game a touch.

Form: 176125-

(12)

Old News³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 74| D

22/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 34 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor, but others are more appealing all the same.

Form: 444276

Thapa VC¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: M G Rimell| OR: 73| D

12/1

Three wins from 7 runs this year, the latest at Kempton in February. 11/2, only seventh of 9 in handicap there (7f) 19 days ago and opposable on turf debut.

Form: 116447

(10)

Visibility³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 72

22/1

25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 32 days ago, met some trouble. 0-9 on turf and may again find a few too good.

Form: 724337

Mr Marvlos¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: T Kent| OR: 68

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly down in trip here and he now has a point to prove.

Form: 325/9

(7)

Eponina^p⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| CD

13/2

Career best when winning 9-runner C&D handicap (good to firm, 16/1) 7 days ago, keeping on well. That was her third success here and she'll have every chance under a penalty if able to back that up.

Form: 93-4601

(5)

Katie's Kitten^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| C

33/1

Course winner. 50/1, last of 13 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good) 10 days ago.

Form: 3857-00

Forecasts

Hello Zabeel (3/1), Sadiqaa (9/2), Sucellus (6/1), Roman Dynasty (6/1), Eponina (13/2), Global Esteem (15/2), Thapa VC (12/1), Cisco Disco (20/1), Old News (22/1), Visibility (22/1), Katie's Kitten (33/1), Mr Marvlos (125/1)

The vote goes to SADIQAA, who has performed well on each of his three previous visits to this track and should appreciate this drop back in trip after finding 8.3f too much of a test at Nottingham last time. Roman Dynasty is feared most on the back of a solid reappearance effort at Chester and is next on the list ahead of Eponina, a winner over this C&D last week, and Global Esteem.
