Monsieur Fantaisie^b⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: P D Niven| OR: 48| D

10/3

Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 15/8) 8 days ago, quickening clear early in straight and kept up to work. Respected under a penalty on debut for new yard provided he keeps the slow starts at bay.

Form: 2-83251

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: K Frost| OR: 52

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 3/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Swift| T: C Wallis| OR: 51| D

9/4

Winner at Chelmsford City in January. 13/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, headed late on. Should go well again in present groove.

Form: 754-153

Deputise²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: M Wigham| OR: 47| CD

9/2

C&D winner who ended long losing run in minor event at Southwell (6f) in August. 15/2, respectable fourth of 8 in minor event at this C&D 20 days ago, nearest finish. Not discounted for all he's not the most consistent.

Form: 08548-4

Hard Solution^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 46| C| D

8/1

Course winner. 33/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, dropping away tamely having done plenty in front. Others more appealing for win purposes.

Form: 136-560

Dodgy Bob^b⁴⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Latest win at Thirsk in September. 25/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 45 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. No forlorn hope back down in trip.

Banana^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

33/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, racing wide and weakening over 1f out. Others make more appeal.

Form: 852-689

(8)

Ank Marvin²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S A Gray| T: C J Teague| OR: 45

150/1

Eleventh of 12 in minor event (200/1) at Newcastle (5f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip now and he's hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 6/806-60

Forecasts

Due Date (9/4), Higher Law (10/3), Monsieur Fantaisie (10/3), Deputise (9/2), Hard Solution (8/1), Dodgy Bob (14/1), Banana (33/1), Ank Marvin (150/1)

Despite remaining a maiden HIGHER LAW again ran well when runner-up over C&D 11 days ago and a repeat from the same mark should see him bang there again. Monsieur Fantaisie ended a lengthy losing run in good style at Chelmsford recently and he's feared on debut for Peter Niven. Due Date may do best of the others.
