Wallaroo^p1,t²⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 60| BF

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered/tongue tied, seemingly failed to stay when seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) in July, unable to sustain effort. Off 8 months. Cheekpieces reached for now eased back down in trip.

Form: 8/547-

(3)

Vissani¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 58

20/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 66/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 79676-8

Trojan Truth¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 58

10/1

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 10 days ago, weakening final 1f. That was his first start for 6 months and possible he will be sharper here. Down in trip.

Form: 64377-7

Eagle Eyed Freddie^p,t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 58

15/2

Latest win at Southwell (1m) in January. Last of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 29 days ago, headed over 1f out and weakening. Must bounce back.

Form: 24-3199

(11)

Come On John^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater| OR: 58

9/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at this course (9.5f) 12 days ago. Good pace to aim at here will help and he's worth a second look from career-low mark.

Form: 7-76544

(6)

Red Evelyn^b⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁷⁾| T: S Pearce| OR: 57| CD

9/2

Ended long losing run at Chelmsford (1m) in February and dispelled a lesser effort upped in trip next start when narrowly resuming winning ways in a C&D handicap 8 days ago, leading 2f out and always holding on.

Form: 46-5141

(13)

Broughtons Flare¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 9/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Merits consideration despite widest draw of all to contend with.

Form: 3-11145

(4)

Hot Team^v¹⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh| T: P Morris| OR: 56| D

50/1

11/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) in October, missing break and never landing a blow. Possible he will come on for this first start since.

Form: 115669-

(7)

Storm Asset²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| C

14/1

Course winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 12/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 7 months and interesting what the market makes of him here.

Form: 583083-

(10)

Inexplicable^t,v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 54| CD

15/2

5-time C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 16 days ago. Needs to bounce back in refitted visor but that certainly possible.

Form: 086250

(8)

Twistaline^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 54| CD

7/1

6/1, won 8-runner minor event at this course (9.5f) 7 days ago, leading under pressure 2f out and keeping on well. Going through a good spell since turn of the year and she ought to be thereabouts again.

Form: 323231

(9)

Pop Favorite^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 48

18/1

Losing run is mounting up but did run best race for a while when third in 10-runner Newcastle handicap (1m) 16 days ago. Task now is to back that up, however.

Form: 396-753

(5)

Independent Beauty¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: L Williamson| OR: 46

25/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 20/1, creditable third of 7 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. However, she's another who will need to build on that effort if she's to play a part returned to handicaps.

Form: 0-87083

Forecasts

Come On John (9/2), Broughtons Flare (9/2), Red Evelyn (9/2), Twistaline (7/1), Eagle Eyed Freddie (15/2), Inexplicable (15/2), Trojan Truth (10/1), Storm Asset (14/1), Pop Favorite (18/1), Vissani (20/1), Independent Beauty (25/1), Wallaroo (33/1), Hot Team (50/1)

COME ON JOHN isn't the easiest to win with but he's dropped to a potentially handy mark and, granted a good pace to aim at, he could well be up to resuming winning ways in an open-looking finale. Twistaline gained reward for a string of consistent efforts here recently and is feared, along with Red Evelyn. Broughtons Flare also makes some each-way appeal.
