9/4

Off the mark at Southwell (16.5f) in October. Back up in trip, ran creditably when fourth of 9 in handicap (5/2) returned to the same C&D 22 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Broughtons Mission^h1,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Hobson| OR: 45

50/1

Blinkered for 1st time, again down the field when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (11f, 50/1) 18 days ago, missing break. Tries this much longer distance with hood now applied. Best watched.

Form: 053909-

(8)

Dark Icon¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Butler| OR: 45

20/1

Has shown a bit more than previously on her last 2 starts, sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (11f) 18 days ago. Improvement needed, though, as she goes significantly up in trip.

Form: 978886-

(7)

The Last Tango³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 125/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fared no better when twelfth of 13 on handicap debut at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago. Step up in trip not enough to tempt.

Form: 0700-

(2)

Bellshill Beauty⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S-J Davies| OR: 48

40/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 50/1, made little impression when last of 3 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 7 days ago. Having second try at 2m on her polytrack debut. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 308273-

(6)

Bass Strait^p³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 47

11/4

9/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f) 3 days ago. Can give her running again, but remains vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 36684-3

Forecasts

Easy Equation (9/4), Bass Strait (11/4), Master Grey (11/4), Henry The Fifth (4/1), Dark Icon (20/1), Bellshill Beauty (40/1), Broughtons Mission (50/1), The Last Tango (150/1)

MASTER GREY has been in good form on the all-weather and he can get back to winning ways with the return to 2m to suit. Henry The Fifth has also been running well of late at this distance and is feared most, ahead of Easy Equation.
