Mighty Power¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 80| C

5/1

Sprung 20/1 surprise over 6f here in January before producing a career-best to land similar event last month. Shaped as if still in form when sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, nearest finish after meeting trouble. Respected.

9/1

Course winner. Promising second on penultiamte outing but ran poorly when last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/1) 9 days ago. Remains on handy mark.

Pockley^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 78| CD

7/1

5-time course winner. Latest win here in March. 5/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (5f) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. Boasts fine record here but significantly longer trip is a question mark.

How Impressive^p1,t¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| CD

15/2

Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Cceditable sixth of 14 on handicap debut at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/1). Off 123 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looked fairly summed up by mark last time and will need to step forward.

Ron O¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Craggs| OR: 76| C

9/4

Course winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win here in January. 9/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, not clear run after travelling well. Remains of interest.

Abnaa^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 75| CD

22/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Below par on his last 2 outings though and others arrive here in better form.

Anif³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 75| CD

6/1

5-time course winner. Latest win here in March. 15/2, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Should give another good account.

As If By Chance^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 74

11/2

Went close from this sort of mark at Redcar last summer and shaped encouragingly when creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, nearest finish after meeting some trouble. Leading player.

Forecasts

Ron O (9/4), Mighty Power (5/1), As If By Chance (11/2), Anif (6/1), Pockley (7/1), How Impressive (15/2), Toussarok (9/1), Abnaa (22/1)

AS IF BY CHANCE was unlucky not to finish even closer when third over C&D 10 days ago and a similar level of performance might be enough to see him land this. Ron O has had a generally positive AW campaign and he's worth treating as if still in form after meetirng trouble last time, with Anif also well in the mix to add to his good course record.
