Victory March⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: M Crehan⁽³⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 75| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Five wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win here (1¾m) in December. 9/1, very good third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m) 9 days ago, finishing well. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 1-56653

Greystoke²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 74| C

11/4

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 11 in C&D handicap 21 days ago. One to consider.

Heathen^h¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 74| D

11/4

9/4 and hooded for first time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) when last seen in September. Raised 8 lb but there could easily be more to come from this well-bred 4-y-o.

Form: 957951-

(7)

Bearaway⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 73| D

33/1

Latest win at Windsor in October. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (13f, 12/1) 9 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Is on a workable mark so can't be discounted.

Form: 178-545

(12)

Johnny Boom^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: S Lycett| OR: 72| BF| CD

9/4

Six wins from 23 Flat runs, the latest over C&D in February. Another good effort here when runner-up a week ago. Right at the top of his game at present.

Form: 162122

Eagle Court¹⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Blake| OR: 72| C

40/1

Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (1¾m) when last seen in November. First run for yard after leaving Tom Ward.

Form: 165640-

Definite^p1,t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: M F Harris| OR: 73

80/1

Well held here (9.5f) in January and has cut little ice on snow at Saint Moritz since. Best watched now stepping back up significantly in trip on his return to Britain.

Form: 61268-0

Painless Potter¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: S Lycett| OR: 71

28/1

Winner at Chepstow (1m) in August. Tenth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (1m) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 41046-0

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: J Candlish| OR: 72

50/1

12/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 7707-75

(1)

Crafter²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71

50/1

50/1, shaped as if needing run after another 6 months off (had wind surgery) when sixth of 7 in handicap over this C&D 27 days ago.

Form: 156/0-6

(8)

Down To The Kid¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 68| D

9/1

Two wins from 5 runs last year. Good third of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (11f) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly.

Form: 11298-3

(6)

Cianciana^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 67

9/1

Latest Flat win at Newcastle (1¼m) in August. Has done pretty well over hurdles since, offering hope her mark is workable now tackling 1½m for the first time on the Flat. Another who needs considering.

Forecasts

Johnny Boom (9/4), Heathen (11/4), Greystoke (11/4), Down To The Kid (9/1), Cianciana (9/1), Victory March (14/1), Painless Potter (28/1), Bearaway (33/1), Eagle Court (40/1), Crafter (50/1), Absolute Ruler (50/1), Definite (80/1)

In a competitive handicap the suggestion is JOHNNY BOOM who has been in cracking form this year. Greystoke shaped well when second here last time and heads the many dangers along with Victory March, Down To The Kid and Ciancana, who has handicapping scope back on the Flat judged on recent hurdle exploits.
