Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 71

11/2

Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (7/1) at same course (6f) 42 days ago, not getting much room to open up. Should prove competitive.

10/1

Creditable second of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 37 days ago. Never been the easiest to catch right but can't be ruled out on the back of that positive effort.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 63| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win here in December. Good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 6/4) 13 days ago, having to wait for gap under 2f out. Thriving at present and another bold bid looks assured.

14/1

C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 48 days ago. Becoming well treated but recent efforts have largely been underwhelming and others are preferred.

Forecasts

One Night Stand (5/2), Bankrupt (7/2), Darlo Pride (4/1), Masterclass (11/2), Lynns Boy (7/1), Kessaar Power (10/1), Pablo Del Pueblo (14/1), Level Up (25/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (125/1)

DARLO PRIDE has developed into a most likeable sort this winter, and having been unlucky not to get closer to landing the hat-trick last time, he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Masterclass is better judged on his Chelmsford victory rather than when meeting trouble there last time and he can pose the biggest threat, with One Night Stand attractively handicapped after a more encouraging effort last time.
