Hit Mac^b,t⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 60| CD

13/8

Blinkered for 1st time, career best when getting off the mark in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (5/6) 7 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but has to be taken seriously with headgear retained.

Form: 322-221

(8)

Prince of Rome^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 60| CD

18/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Michael Mullineaux when 2½ lengths sixth of 11 to Hit Mac in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Not ruled out.

Form: 76/980-6

(1)

Coast⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| C

20/1

Course winner. Latest win here in November. 10/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 45 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 910519-

(7)

Big Impact⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton| T: R Brisland| OR: 58| C

6/1

Course winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 5 days ago so he's shortlisted.

Form: 8446-44

(5)

You're Cool^t,v⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽⁷⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 53| CD

9/1

8-time C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Very good second of 10 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 4 days ago, finishing well. Enters calculations off the same mark.

Form: 8367-02

(3)

Glorious Charmer^t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 48| C| D

13/8

Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 4 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 09722-3

(2)

Rockley Point^b¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 46| D

16/1

Thirty five runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 7/1) 10 days ago. Still needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 303-335

(6)

Red Stripes^b⁴¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Ben Sanderson| T: L Williamson| OR: 45| D

150/1

Fifty five runs since last win in 2020. Last of 11 in handicap (150/1) at Southwell (5f) 41 days ago.

Form: 007090-

Forecasts

Glorious Charmer (13/8), Hit Mac (13/8), Big Impact (6/1), You're Cool (9/1), Rockley Point (16/1), Prince of Rome (18/1), Coast (20/1), Red Stripes (150/1)

HIT MAC showed the benefit of blinkers when gaining his breakthrough success over C&D a week ago and is fancied to defy a 5 lb penalty and go in again. Multiple C&D scorer You're Cool is feared most, with Glorious Charmer another course winner who needs factoring in to an open handicap.
