Twirling^t1¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87| D

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. 15/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) when last seen in January, met some trouble. Tongue strap enlisted for this turf debut and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 1313-7

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J Candlish| OR: 83

8/1

Fifteenth of 16 in handicap (13/2) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 21 days ago, not clear run. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 8129-60

On The River¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: H Bethell| OR: 82| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 13/8, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft) 10 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once more.

Form: 468-512

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 81| C| D

15/2

Course winner. 18/1, below form 35¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Burdett Road in Prestbury Juvenile Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) 175 days ago. Runner-up over 1¼m here on latest start in this sphere in October. Strongly considered.

Spioradalta¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 80| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (8f, heavy, 16/5) 14 days ago. Mark untouched and should have a part to play.

Form: 6400-43

(3)

Deceiver⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 80| BF

6/1

Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 7/2) 43 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 7/1932-5

Clear Angel^h⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell| T: S Corbett| OR: 79| D

9/2

Respectable fourth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, heavy, 12/1) 49 days ago, never nearer. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 14304-4

(8)

Ribble Rouser^t¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

25/1

Winner at Newcastle in December. 20/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at that course (10.2f). Off 131 days and this demands a step forward.

Form: 33321-0

Forecasts

On The River (7/2), Twirling (9/2), Clear Angel (9/2), Deceiver (6/1), Spioradalta (7/1), I Still Have Faith (15/2), Spirit Genie (8/1), Ribble Rouser (25/1)

The vote goes to SPIORADALTA, who put in a good shift when third off this mark at Ripon a fortrnight ago. The one caveat is that he wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. Twirling has achieved a fairly useful level of form on the all-weather and she will be a threat if taking to turf, while On The River and I Still Have Faith are others with claims.
