6/1

Dual C&D winner during first half of last year who stepped up on previous exploits this winter when fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford (5f) 4 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Operating 8 lb below last winning mark if he can build on that here.

Toptime⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 48| BF| C

11/10

Temperamental sort who returned to form back from 12 weeks off when third here (6f) in December prior to finishing second of 7 in handicap back at this course (6.1f) 7 days ago, no match for winner. Capable of defying this mark in present groove.

Forecasts

Toptime (11/10), The Tron (9/2), Dapper Man (6/1), Mehmo (7/1), Basholo (12/1), Embla (14/1), Rockley Point (20/1), Jacquelina (25/1), Golden Prosperity (25/1), Arzaak (66/1), Furnicoe (66/1), Ali Jewels (100/1)

TOPTIME has returned from a break in good heart, finding only an improver too strong over 6f here 7 days ago and he's given the nod to capitalise on his reduced mark back down at the minimum trip. Mehmo returns from an absence lurking on a handy mark and he's feared, with The Tron and Dapper Man also fancied to feature in a competitive affair.
