Runner Bean²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 55

150/1

Heeraat filly who showed modest form at best in trio of 6f novice/maiden events here for John Gallagher during 2021. Missed whole of last year and showed nothing on return at Southwell last month. Can't be fancied.

Form: 046/0

Forever Dreaming^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 54| D

9/2

Blinkered for 1st time, career best when off mark 11-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Should give another good account wtih Murphy retaining the ride, though wide draw is a concern.

Form: 74-9301

(6)

Griggy¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 53| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Respectable third at Lingfield on penultimate outing and perhaps found race coming too soon when seventh of 9 at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/1) 19 days ago, finding little. Not fully discounted.

Form: 34-0737

(5)

Jenever³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 52| D

11/8

11/1, career best when winning 14-runner minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 31 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Very lightly raced for compared to most rivals here and rates as shortlist material.

Form: 5677-41

(2)

Hannah's Return¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 49

13/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. 9/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Potentially interest on rare outing over sprint trip.

Form: 641-955

(7)

Ubahha^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 48

33/1

One win from 31 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (5f, 12/1) 20 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Others make more appeal.

Form: 560-558

(3)

Viewfromthestars^h⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: M D I Usher| OR: 47

4/1

Long-standing maiden but again ran respectably when fifth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 4 days ago. Place claims.

Form: 58-5335

(12)

Liberty Bay¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, creditable fifth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Bit more required to overcome wide draw back in a handicap.

Form: 76-4705

(4)

Oxygen Thief⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 46

8/1

Improved when third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 8 days ago. Frame claims if able to back that performance up.

Form: 990-403

Forecasts

Jenever (11/8), Viewfromthestars (4/1), Forever Dreaming (9/2), Hannah's Return (13/2), Oxygen Thief (8/1), Hot Diggity Dog (8/1), Sir Sedric (10/1), Griggy (12/1), You Are My World (12/1), Ubahha (33/1), Liberty Bay (50/1), Runner Bean (150/1)

Basement-grade fare but JENEVER is less exposed than most in this company and can make a successful return to handicap company after scoring in a minor event last time. Forever Dreaming found improvement for the application of blinkers when scoring at Southwell 15 days ago and is much respected despite the draw with Murphy maintaining the partnership, whilst Viewfromthestars arrives in decent heart and can complete the placings.
