Seahouses^p⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: F Brennan| OR: 75| BF

50/1

Fairly useful but temperamental maiden for Ralph Beckett on the Flat last year. No impact in 3 juvenile hurdles for new yard and a watching brief is advised back on the level.

Form: 637257-

Enochdhu¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 74| C

18/1

Course winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (1¾m, heavy, 9/1) when last seen in October. Much depends on whether he is ready to roll.

Form: 792084-

Lawmaker³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 73| BF| C

7/1

Made light of a 13-month absence when scoring on handicap/yard debut over 1½m here in January. Disappointed at Wolverhampton since but no surprise were he to resume his progression now. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 066/16

Two Past Eight^b1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 69| D

7/2

Visored when good fourth of 9 in C&D handicap 35 days ago. Blinkers the headgear of choice this time. Largely consistent.

Form: 0523-54

Abraaj²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 64| D

11/10

7/4, won 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m) 24 days ago. The second has boosted the form by winning since and he could still be well treated up 4 lb.

Form: 9620-31

(6)

Smart Champion³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 59| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in C&D handicap 35 days ago, although he was set a lot to do. Eased another 2 lb since.

Form: 30-7636

(8)

Zivaniya^b,t⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 60| CD

5/1

C&D winner at the beginning of this month. 5/1, creditable third of 6 at Newcastle (2m) 4 days ago. Should go well if coping with the quick turnaround.

Form: 368-913

(3)

Imperial Cult¹⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 57| BF

22/1

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good to soft, 11/4) when last seen in October. Significantly back up in trip on return. Much depends on whether he's ready to roll.

Form: 533266-

Forecasts

Abraaj (11/10), Two Past Eight (7/2), Zivaniya (5/1), Lawmaker (7/1), Enochdhu (18/1), Imperial Cult (22/1), Smart Champion (28/1), Seahouses (50/1)

ABRAAJ has had the form of his latest Newcastle win franked so might be well treated up 4 lb. Something presumably can't have been right with Lawmaker at Wolverhampton and he can bounce back returned to this venue and provide the chief threat ahead of Zivaniya.
