Dapper Man^b³^{(ex 4)}

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 60| CD

3/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Won 7-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 3 days ago, edging ahead close home. Rider's claim more than off-sets his penalty and expected to be in the mix again.

Birkenhead^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 63| CD

15/2

C&D winner who scored twice on turf last summer. Not at best upon returning to action this spring, ninth of 10 in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago. Refitting of cheekpieces needs to perk him up.

Form: 5565-89

(3)

Grandfather Tom^v⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: George Downing| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 59| D

11/5

Strong in betting and duly stepped up markedly on his reappearance run over C&D when readily landing 6-runner Lingfield handicap (5f) 7 days ago. Clearly a big player under a penalty.

Form: 2269-61

Yimou^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| D

9/2

Thirty two runs since last win in 2020. Last of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 26-7640

(7)

Josies Kid^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M Crehan⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 59| D

15/2

One win from 25 Flat runs. 4/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 29 days ago, always behind. Must bounce back returned to all weather.

Form: 7-60330

Thegreatestshowman^b³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 58| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, 1¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Dapper Man in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Mark has eased plenty but he does need to step up on that if he's to play a lead role here.

Form: 8859-96

Straitouttacompton^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| C

100/1

4-time course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Last of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 40/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Hard to make a case for having another crack at the minimum trip.

GRANDFATHER TOM capitalised on his much-reduced mark when comfortably seeing off 5 rivals at Lingfield 7 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more under a penalty. Dapper Man, a winner himself over C&D on Monday, can give the selection most to think about.
