Dagmar Run³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67| D

6/1

Respectable 4¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Wilde And Dandy in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 39 days ago. Needs to raise his game a touch.

Form: 584304

Ring Of Gold⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66| D

9/4

Sixth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 9/2) 44 days ago. Merits consideration back on the AW.

Form: 333356

Wilde And Dandy³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: I Furtado| OR: 65| BF| CD

9/2

C&D winner in November. 7/4, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 35 days ago, merely closing up late. Shouldn't be judged too harshly on that effort and he's one to consider.

Form: 929718

Top Button²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 64

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, very good fourth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago. Return to this trip looks a good move and he's not without hope.

Form: 9-534

(8)

McCauley's Tavern^b1,e/s1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63

12/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) 18 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of blinkers and eyeshields sparking a return to form.

Form: 433370

(6)

Got No Dollars^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 57| BF| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 5/1) 21 days ago, running on. Deserves to get his head back in front and likely to make a bold bid to do just that here.

Form: 853324

(5)

Daafy^v³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 57| D

20/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 35 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights and he's an each-way player.

Form: 254656

(3)

Heerathetrack¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

50/1

Unreliable sort. 250/1, twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 11 days ago. Poor performer in this sphere and likely to come up short once more.

Form: 889578

Forecasts

Ring Of Gold (9/4), Top Button (7/2), Wilde And Dandy (9/2), Got No Dollars (5/1), Dagmar Run (6/1), McCauley's Tavern (12/1), Daafy (20/1), Heerathetrack (50/1)

The lightly-raced TOP BUTTON wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut over 6f at Kempton and, with this step back up in trip seemingly a good move, he is taken to open his account. Got No Dollars is on a long losing run but he's been holding his form well in recent months and should be on the premises, while Wilde And Dandy, who scored over C&D on his penultimate start, is another to consider. Ring of Gold is also shortlisted.
