Porfin²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: P S McEntee| OR: 70| D

7/1

Four wins from 30 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in December. Run of good form came to a halt at Wolverhampton last time but is capable of bouncing back if the outside stall isn't too much of an inconvenience.

Form: 7412-30

(8)

Shalaa Asker¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: A Keatley| OR: 69| CD

11/4

C&D winner in December. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 2/1) 19 days ago. Likely to go well.

Form: 9145-33

(5)

Araifjan²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: M Herrington| OR: 69| D

7/1

Latest win at Chelmsford in December. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) 20 days ago. Consistent type who is likely to give his running again.

Form: 21224-2

(3)

Em Jay Kay^h⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 64| CD

11/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap over C&D 8 days ago. Not obviously well treated under a 5 lb penalty but he's low mileage for a sprinter so there may be more to come.

Form: 4321-21

(4)

33/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. 33/1, fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 20 days ago. 3 lb below last summer's successful mark so no surprise to see him play a prominent role.

11/1

Form: 270003-

Pepsi Cat^t⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 65| D

16/1

Below form fifth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at this course (7f) 50 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Enters calculations back at 6f (second over C&D in December).

33/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 80/1, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy). Off 101 days. Mark has come down but could only consider if the betting suggests a revival is likely.

Form: 605000-

(12)

Palifico¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P Morris| OR: 63

Forecasts

Shalaa Asker (11/4), Em Jay Kay (11/2), Araifjan (7/1), Porfin (7/1), She's The Danger (11/1), Piranheer (12/1), Neptune Legend (14/1), Thaki (16/1), Pepsi Cat (16/1), Bobby On The Beat (18/1), Palifico (25/1), Mostallim (28/1), Papa Cocktail (33/1), Rebel Redemption (33/1)

Adrian Keatley has his team in decent nick so C&D scorer SHALAA ASKER could be the way to go in this open finale. Pepsi Cat didn't get home over 7f here last time and might be able to match her second-placed finish over C&D in December. Last week's C&D scorer Em Jay Kay and the unexposed Piranheer are also on the shortlist.
