Form: 3330-60

10/1

Latest win at Southwell in December and posted a good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago, better placed than most. Can make presence felt if turning up in similar form.

Urban Road^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Kirrane| T: A D Brown| OR: 66| CD

9/1

C&D winner who returned to form and was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 9 in 10f handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City 15 days ago. One to bear in mind.

Form: 30-2194

(12)

Explorers Way²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 63| CD

12/1

Followed up last month's win in 10-runner handicap over C&D (5/1) 20 days ago, just holding on. This is tougher but still warrants respect in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 680-411

Forecasts

Asgard's Captain (11/8), Cusack (7/2), Urban Road (9/1), Sense Of Worth (10/1), Explorers Way (12/1), Percy Willis (12/1), Skilled Warrior (12/1), My Little Queens (14/1), Law Supreme (25/1), The Vik (80/1), Midnight Lion (100/1), Emperor Caradoc (100/1)

ASGARD'S CAPTAIN resumed winning ways with loads in hand at Wolverhampton at the beginning of the week and looks capable of following up under a penalty. Sense of Worth and hat-trick seeker Explorers Way are a couple of potential threats.
