Evocative Spark¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Wright⁽⁷⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 80

40/1

Latest win at Chester in September. 12/1, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 12 days ago, outpaced in rear and never involved. Step back up in trip rates a plus on that evidence but all career victories have come at around 7f.

Form: 4189-38

Laheg^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: M Botti| OR: 79| D

2/1

Winless during a light 2023 but given a chance by the handicapper and he ran well despite a poor start back from 8 months off when third of 8 in a C&D handicap 21 days ago. Worth considering on the back of that here.

Form: 30746-3

King Cabo¹³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: L A Dace| OR: 79

11/4

Held form well during second half of last year, adding to his tally at Kempton (7f) in September, quickening to lead again 1f out and always holding on. Not dismissed from 3 lb higher mark back from a break.

Whenthedealinsdone¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: R A Teal| OR: 79| DWS

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Bath (5f, soft) in October. Absent/had wind op since and the betting may prove a useful guide on polytrack debut.

Twilight Madness³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 78| CD

3/1

Latest win over C&D in December and he backed that up when second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 7/2) 3 days ago, unable to hold off one from off the pace. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 80271-2

(7)

Incrimination³⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Gilligan| T: C Allen| OR: 77| CD

17/2

C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 7/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) in April, staying on final 1f. Remains less exposed than most and she may yet have more to offer.

Form: 143/132-

(3)

Muscika^v¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/2) 12 days ago, held when hampered final 50 yds. Likely he'll face competition for the lead here.

Form: 116-665

Forecasts

Laheg (2/1), King Cabo (11/4), Twilight Madness (3/1), Muscika (8/1), Incrimination (17/2), Whenthedealinsdone (16/1), Evocative Spark (40/1)

LAHEG has been given a chance by the handicapper and ran well on the back of 8 months off latest start when third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, that despite a poor start. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with the returning pair Incrimination and King Cabo heading the dangers.
