Spartan Fighter^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 60| D

28/1

25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut and others make more appeal on this occasion.

Thomas Equinas^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: D K Ivory| OR: 60| CD

4/1

Four-time C&D winner, the latest registered in October. Last of 5 in handicap (7/2), again at this C&D 28 days ago. Would be a danger to all if on-song.

Form: 997915

(2)

Lady In Havana²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 59| D

66/1

40/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 7 months ahead of this yard debut and she's readily passed over.

Form: 138767

(5)

Rob's Umberella^v1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

9/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and visor on 1st time. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 450007

(4)

Kitaro Kich^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 56

4/1

16/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise his game.

Form: 45-7007

(10)

Profitman^t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 55| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 7 lengths last of 6 to Thomas Equinas in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago. Cheekpieces discarded now and claims if settling better this time.

Form: 474226

(9)

Heerathetrack^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54| CD

Jesse Luc^p,t¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M Murphy| OR: 52

14/1

25/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm). Off 6 months and would be in with a shout if reproducing the form of his Kempton third in April.

Form: 59-7348

(15)

Red Scotch^v¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Appleby| OR: 49

14/1

Visored for 1st time, seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 22/1) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes polytrack debut and significant step forward needed.

Form: 609767

(3)

Scarfo^p1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 48| D

12/1

33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time for this polytrack debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 148977

(6)

Advindi²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 47

28/1

Forecasts

Heerathetrack (11/4), Poetic Jack (3/1), Profitman (4/1), Kitaro Kich (4/1), Thomas Equinas (4/1), Rob's Umberella (9/1), Rogue Rosie (10/1), Raqraaq (10/1), Scarfo (12/1), Jesse Luc (14/1), Red Scotch (14/1), Legend Of Leros (20/1), Spartan Fighter (28/1), Advindi (28/1), Lady In Havana (66/1)

A sixth course win could be on the cards for THOMAS EQUINAS, who took a strong hold when misfiring here last month and is better judged on his C&D success in October. Profitman was last in the six-runner handicap won by the selection last time but he will be in the thick of things if able to bounce back with the cheekpieces omitted. The picture would look somewhat different if Poetic Jack, who is due to run at Lingfield on Wednesday, takes his chance.
