Civil Law⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: R A Teal| OR: 90| CD

11/4

4-time C&D winner. Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. Latest win here in November. 10/3, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 52 days ago. Should go well again.

Polling Day⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 90

12/1

Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 64 days ago. Probably found race coming too soon last time and had looked promising beforehand. Not discounted back from a break.

Form: 11/44-

Pleasant Man^p⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 89

11/1

7/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 46 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly down in trip. Merits consideration.

Form: 1/3043-7

Al Rufaa^h²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 88| CD

5/2

Course winner. Latest win here in November. Better than result when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 15/2) 27 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Still looks on a handy mark and is well worth a chance to get back to winning ways.

Form: 88913-6

Duc De Morny^p1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 87

12/1

First run since leaving Christophe Ferland when ninth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on UK debut 27 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal.

Form: 9/5797-9

Wadacre Gomez⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston| OR: 83

10/3

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Good second of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this course (9.5f) 7 days ago. Solid claims again.

Form: 831-012

Southern Voyage^p1⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

40/1

100/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 46 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 97000-0

Kojin²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Ian Williams| OR: 74

125/1

First run since leaving Peter Fahey when 80/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 24 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Poor on last Flat outing. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 060/060-

Forecasts

Al Rufaa (5/2), Civil Law (11/4), Wadacre Gomez (10/3), Forca Timao (15/2), Pleasant Man (11/1), Polling Day (12/1), Duc De Morny (12/1), Southern Voyage (40/1), Aikhal (50/1), Kojin (125/1)

AL RUFAA has shaped better than the result twice since scoring here in November and he's worth chancing in the hope that things drop right. It's a competitive event, however and both Civil Law and Wadacre Gomez look formidable opponents.
