Jems Bond^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Zak Wheatley| T: A D Brown| OR: 57| BF| C

14/1

Course winner. Latest win here in January. 9/4, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (6f) 11 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly back up in trip and possibilities if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 580-127

(10)

Eleven Eleven^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke Catton| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 57| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 5/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago. Down another 1 lb and not without each-way hope.

Form: 4600-04

(9)

Divine Connection^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 57| D

12/1

Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 17/2) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration off the same mark here.

Form: 6227-02

(8)

Robert Johnson²⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonathan Fisher| T: P A Kirby| OR: 55

22/1

One win from 1 run last year. 8/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) when last seen 8 months ago. Significantly down in trip back with former yard here and probably worth taking on this time.

Form: 98458/1-

(4)

St Andrew's Castle¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Amie Waugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 55

12/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and others make more appeal.

Form: 9607-40

(2)

Inexplicable^b,t³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn| T: A Brittain| OR: 54| D

11/4

Three wins from 19 runs last year. 9/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly.

Form: 3-60862

(1)

Coligone Kate^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Williams| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 52

40/1

Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) 25 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 67290-0

(7)

John The Pirate¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Madi Patzelt⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 52

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 100/1) 14 days ago and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 635-90

(3)

Mac Ailey^b⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Kieran Schofield| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| BF| D

16/1

Latest win at Southwell in December. 3/1, respectable second of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 44 days ago, slowly away. One for the shortlist.

Form: 45001-2

(11)

Masham Moor¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 51| CD

2/1

C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 17/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there once again.

Form: 1/139-03

(5)

Iron Sheriff¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 49| D

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 20654-0

(6)

Sir Dotti²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Molly Presland⁽⁵⁾| T: A Crook| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 12/1) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 97605-6

Forecasts

Masham Moor (2/1), Inexplicable (11/4), Eleven Eleven (6/1), Iron Sheriff (12/1), Divine Connection (12/1), St Andrew's Castle (12/1), Jems Bond (14/1), Mac Ailey (16/1), Robert Johnson (22/1), Coligone Kate (40/1), Sir Dotti (40/1), John The Pirate (50/1)

MASHAM MOOR left his low-key reappearance run behind when third over C&D recently and is appealing off this 1 lb lower mark. Second choice is Inexplicable, who wasn't far behind in sixth that day and subsequently hit the crossbar with blinkers enlisted at Wolverhampton. Divine Connection and Mac Ailey both found just one too good last time out too, and are others to consider.
