Amber Dew^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy| OR: 53

28/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap (9/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, doing little in front and just holding on. Still, that may not prove her limit for this yard.

Form: 40077-1

40/1

Maiden who went close on a couple of occasions in 5f handicaps last year. 16/1, shaped as if she'd come on for the run when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, ridden entering straight and fading. Not ruled out from further reduced mark. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 42497-0

One Last Hug²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52| D

33/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Eighth of 9 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f, 11/2) 20 days ago, not ideally placed from his wide draw.

Form: 54641-8

Sir Benedict⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 52| D

14/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Last of 9 in minor event at this course (6f, 11/2) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Previous effort over C&D was encouraging and better showing not ruled out.

Forecasts

King Of The Jungle (9/4), Urban Dandy (7/2), Enderman (5/1), Mehmo (8/1), Henery Hawk (9/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (9/1), Sir Benedict (14/1), The Princes Poet (22/1), Amber Dew (28/1), One Last Hug (33/1), Mrs Trump (40/1), Coley's Koko (50/1)

KING OF THE JUNGLE has found some improvement at a low level of late, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps, proving determined when seeing off re-opposing Urban Dandy by ½ length 19 days ago. He gets the narrow vote to continue the good work and complete the hat-trick. Mehmo and Mrs Trump are others worth a look, whilst Amber Dew isn't dismissed either.
