Moktasaab³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J F Egan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 81

8/1

Unreliable sort. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Sakhir (9.9f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 0096-95

Master Of Combat¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost| OR: 80| D

8/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Not taken lightly.

Form: 61-5383

Francesi¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 77| D

9/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f), nearest finish. Off 133 days. Lurks on a handy mark and could be worth market check.

Dumfries²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 4/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Marcus Tregoning. Betting can guide as to expectations.

Form: 5/18434-

Baileysgutfeeling^b1,t³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 76| BF

66/1

Shaped as if amiss on first run since leaving Nikki Evans when last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/2) 39 days ago. Yard have good record with similar recruits, so not written off in change of headgear.

Visibility¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 75| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. Good second of 12 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7.1f) 10 days ago, closing all way to line. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 4-47072

(9)

Goldsmith^h⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 74| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in February. 13/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago, left poorly placed. Others more persuasive.

Form: 044106

War Of Words⁶⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: A French| OR: 74| CD

12/1

Won over C&D on debut but hasn't stood much racing since and it's hard to know what to expect after 20 months off.

Form: 1266/

Life On The Rocks¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

40/1

Fairly useful handicapper in 2022 but hasn't shown much this year after returning from an 18-month absence.

Form: 6300/79

Forecasts

Endless Power (9/4), Francesi (9/2), Visibility (6/1), Master Of Combat (8/1), Moktasaab (8/1), Goldsmith (17/2), Dumfries (9/1), Larado (10/1), War Of Words (12/1), Life On The Rocks (40/1), Baileysgutfeeling (66/1)

ENDLESS POWER has fewer miles on the clock than most in this contest and he's fancied to follow up from last month's Wolverhampton success. Master of Combat is a generally consistent sort and should go well again, with Visibility another player if able to replicate his recent second over 7f here.
