Berkshire Shadow²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 111

7/4

Smart performer who was better than ever when making a successful reappearance and AW debut in the listed Wulfrina Stakes at Wolverhampton (7f) last month. Just as effective at 1m. Bold show likely.

Form: 56364-1

Chichester³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 104| CD

7/1

Ready winner of a C&D conditions event in January and even better form when narrowly denied in 1¼m Chelmsford handicap last month. Won't need to up is game much to have a big say.

Form: 2174-12

Lord Of The Lodge²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 103| C

18/1

Course scorer whose latest win came at Southwell (7f) in January. 4/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f again) 27 days ago. Lingfield listed third in February shows he stays 1m but this track provides a stiffer test at the trip.

Form: 3-41372

Positive⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 106| D

11/4

Group 3 winner as a juvenile in 2019. Understandably took a bit of time to find his feet again after returning from a long absence last summer but AW handicap wins at Wolverhampton and Kempton this winter suggest he's every bit as good as ever. Leading claims.

Form: 4/0561-1

San Andreas²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 104| D

4/1

Smart gelding who got his head back in front in 1m Dundalk conditions race last month. Top Irish stable's British runners always command plenty of respect.

Form: 92-2221

(4)

The Wizard Of Eye^p¹³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J S Moore| OR: 109| D

11/1

Useful colt. Cheekpieces on first time (retained), career best when winning 4-runner listed race (20/1) at Kempton (1m) by 3½ lengths from Tinker Toy, having run of race from front. More will be required if he's to follow up here.

Forecasts

Berkshire Shadow (7/4), Positive (11/4), San Andreas (4/1), Chichester (7/1), The Wizard Of Eye (11/1), Lord Of The Lodge (18/1)

POSITIVE has looked right back on song when landing a pair of very useful AW handicaps this winter and is narrowly preferred to last month's Wolverhampton listed winner Berkshire Shadow. Irish-raider San Andreas may prove best of the remainder.
