Andaleep^t⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 80

11/4

Back to form when winning 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 8 days ago, comfortably. Carries penalty but he remains well treated on last season's best form, so he looks to hold leading claims.

Form: 8620-71

Ensured²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 80

7/4

After a spell in Hong Kong with D. J. Hall, rejoined his former trainer and back on track following 8 months off when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 6/1) 26 days ago. Respected on his polytrack debut.

Form: 54/070-3

Lexington Knight^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| D

11/1

Successful at Wolverhampton in September but hasn't been able to match that level since, sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive at present.

Form: 21687-6

Glenister²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: L Morris| T: T Lawes| OR: 77| D

28/1

Four wins last year when trained by Sir Mark Prescott Bt. Creditable third at this C&D on stable debut, but tailed-off last of 12 in handicap here (16/1, 2m) 25 days ago. Needs to leave latest effort behind back down in trip.

Form: 21273-0

Suffrajet³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| C

7/1

At least as good as ever when successful here (11f) in December, but not in the same form when fifth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 36 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 644/615-

Mostly Sunny^b⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main| OR: 75| D

4/1

Made the frame 4 times last year, but produced a laboured effort when seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 47 days ago. Drops back in trip with blinkers reapplied.

Form: 047467-

Golden Delite^p1,t¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75

20/1

In first-time tongue strap, didn't look straightforward when fifth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) when last seen in September. Remains early days, but needs to get back on the up with cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 0245-

(1)

Kintaro^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: D Pipe| OR: 71

66/1

In first-time tongue strap, looked rusty on first outing since leaving Richard Fahey (had a wind op) when seventh of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 11 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 36044-7

(2)

Kissininthebackrow¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 67

25/1

After 23 months off, proved that she retains ability on first run since leaving Brian Meehan when fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 40/1) 17 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort back down in trip.

Form: 02213/4

Forecasts

Ensured (7/4), Andaleep (11/4), Mostly Sunny (4/1), Suffrajet (7/1), Lexington Knight (11/1), Golden Delite (20/1), Kissininthebackrow (25/1), Glenister (28/1), Kintaro (66/1)

ANDALEEP returned to winning ways with a ready success at Southwell 8 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent him from following up. He can see off the challenge of Ensured, who got back on track following a spell in Hong Kong when third at Southwell earlier this month, while course-winner Suffrajet also merits consideration.
