11/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in October. 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (1¼m) 18 days ago, merely closing up late. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 5351-79

Little Ted^p⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| CD

7/2

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this course (1¼m) 66 days ago. Back down in trip.

Camacho Star²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 57| D

9/2

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in December. Last of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 10/1) 23 days ago. May fare better back on AW.

Balqaa⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 57| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 47 days ago. Often starts slowly but certainly arrives in good form.

Form: 30-8522

Coloane²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56

6/1

Failed to win in her time with William Jarvis but showed some fair form at her best and is on a career-low mark now setting out for a new yard. Interesting runner.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: R Menzies| OR: 53| CD

5/1

Three-time C&D winner who gained another course success over 7f 18 days ago. Should remain very competitive after a 2 lb nudge.

Form: 362341

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 52| CD

Pop Favorite^b¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| CD

18/1

Five-time C&D winner, the latest in January. Needs to bounce back from below-par efforts on last 2 starts.

Barossa^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 48

11/1

40/1, back to form out of blue when second of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 18 days ago. Needs to back that up now.

Form: 43-0472

Forecasts

Little Ted (7/2), Balqaa (4/1), Camacho Star (9/2), Odd Socks Havana (5/1), Coloane (6/1), Barossa (11/1), Bulls Aye (11/1), Pop Favorite (18/1), Mintnthat (28/1)

It might be worth taking a chance on COLOANE who is well treated on her peak form and appeals as one her new yard can get a win out of. Odds Socks Havana knows where the winning post is here and is second choice ahead of Balqaa.
