Mattella⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| BF

9/2

Went close on her C&D debut in November but not at the same level in her 2 outings since, finishing fourth of 12 back here 12 days ago. Needs to recapture the debut form.

Form: 22-4

Liege³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: D Loughnane

13/8

9/2, fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut 30 days ago, travelling well. Should have more to offer and might be the answer.

Form: 5-

150/1

Twice-raced gelding. Last of 8 in maiden (200/1) at Ayr (6f, soft). Off 106 days.

Alfa Kellenic¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster

5/2

Fair form when reaching the frame in 6f novices at Chelmsford and Southwell this winter. Likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 3-4

Joons Dream¹³⁸

80/1

10/1, last of 8 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 10/1) on debut in September, slowly away. Worth a precautionary betting check on her return.

Form: 8-

Forecasts

Liege (13/8), Alfa Kellenic (5/2), Himawari (11/4), Mattella (9/2), Dollarindex (33/1), Joons Dream (80/1), Spyrothedragon (150/1), Ms Barbaro (250/1)

The way that LIEGE travelled on his 7f Wolverhampton debut suggests this shorter trip could play to his strengths and he's taken to improve past Alfa Kellenic and Mattella.
