5/2

Made it 3 wins from his last 5 starts when successful in 13-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) in October, improving further for the step up in trip. Respected on his return from 7 months off.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 87| BF| CD

4/5

Successful at this C&D on both starts last year. 5/4, not seen to best effect when fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 76 days ago, not ideally placed. Can get back to winning ways.

Form: 1/11-4

40/1

Course winner. Bidding for a hat-trick, ran below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/2) in November. Could get back on track after a break.

American Star^b1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 85| D

28/1

Below form at this course on both starts so far this year, fifth of 6 in handicap over C&D (80/1) 35 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time, but has something to prove at present.

Form: 186/8-55

Soar Above²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Butler| OR: 84| CD

33/1

Three-time C&D winner. Unproven on the ground when well-beaten third of 4 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 40/1) 26 days ago. Others still more persuasive.

Form: 0054-83

Satin Snake^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Keatley| OR: 74| CD

9/2

Three-time C&D winner, with his latest success here in February. 17/2, ran well under change of tactics when second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, collared post. Can give another good account.

Forecasts

Hickory (4/5), Lir Speciale (5/2), Satin Snake (9/2), American Star (28/1), Soar Above (33/1), Cry Havoc (40/1)

HICKORY remains lightly raced for his age, winning at this C&D on both of his 2 starts in 2022, and he remains with potential having not been ideally placed at Southwell last time. The 5-y-o can get the better of Lir Speciale who ended last year with success at this C&D, while Satin Snake can also give another good account.
