Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 80| D

13/2

11/1 and cheekpieces on first time, very good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 15 days ago, running on. Sure to go well if in similar form.

Walking On Clouds¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: J Butler| OR: 80| D

15/2

Four wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. Not at best lately but his mark is on the slide. One to note in the betting.

Form: 136489

(6)

Pop Star¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 79

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Aidan O'Brien when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f, 11/2) 15 days ago. Might build on that.

Form: 72-174

(2)

Pockley¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 78| D

4/1

Unreliable individual. Latest win at Newcastle in November. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Capable off this mark on a going day.

Form: 60R155

Nelson Gay^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 76| CD

14/1

Star Of Lady M^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

13/2

Latest win at Lingfield in November. Rare below-par effort when seventh of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford (5f) since but the type to bounce back.

Form: 534217

Petit Calvados^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E J O'Neill| OR: 74| D

18/5

Creditable third of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Dundalk (6f) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 4-63803

Betweenthesticks^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 73| CD

Forecasts

Petit Calvados (18/5), Pockley (4/1), Pop Star (9/2), Buccabay (6/1), Star Of Lady M (13/2), Dynamic Force (13/2), Betweenthesticks (7/1), Walking On Clouds (15/2), Nelson Gay (14/1)

DYNAMIC FORCE shaped well at Chelmsford last time and could take a bit of stopping if the cheekpieces continue to work. Irish-raider Petit Calvados can give him most to do ahead of Star of Lady M, who is the type to bounce back from a rare below-par run last time.
