Sol Cayo¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 82| BF

2/1

Latest win at Newcastle in December. Creditable third of 8 in handicap back at that venue (10.2f) 13 days ago, plugging on. Looks worth a crack at this longer trip on that evidence and booking of Walker a plus.

Form: 0/6021-3

Pleasant Man^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Stephanie Dorey⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 80

12/1

40/1, 8½ lengths seventh of 9 to Wiltshire Wonder in handicap at this course (12.1f) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Schmilsson⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Johnathan Rees⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 77

8/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who registered a second hurdles victory for present stable at Wetherby (2m) in October. Hasn't been disgraced either start since and he returns to this sphere from what is a potentially lenient mark. One to note.

Junkanoo^v³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Ella Smart-Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 76| D

16/1

Fairly useful sort in this sphere and he shaped better than distance beaten suggests when eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft, 33/1) 35 days ago. Visor back on.

Form: 4/1863-9

Miss Paloma⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Henry Main⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 73| D

40/1

Latest win at Dundalk in July. 9/2, last of 7 in handicap back there (2m) 56 days ago. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead. Betting can guide.

Form: 6/16237-

(10)

Fast Fred^p1⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 69| BF| C

85/40

Course winner who found further progress when bringing up the hat-trick at Newcastle (12.5f) in November. Creditable third handicap at this course (12.1f, evens) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely he'll be competitive again.

Liberated Lad^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 66| CD

13/2

10/3, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 14 days ago, all out to hold. Significant drop back in trip will hold no fears but this does demand more from revised mark.

Form: 51057-1

(7)

Annandale³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Megan Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 63

9/1

Latest win at Newcastle in January. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 3 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Enters calculations.

Form: 4044-14

Forecasts

Sol Cayo (2/1), Fast Fred (85/40), Gaassee (4/1), Liberated Lad (13/2), Wiltshire Wonder (7/1), Schmilsson (8/1), Annandale (9/1), Pleasant Man (12/1), Junkanoo (16/1), Miss Paloma (40/1)

GAASSEE cemented the positive start made for his new yard when runner-up in a stronger contest at Kempton on Wednesday and, in the hope this doesn't come too quick, he could be worth siding with having fallen to a good mark. Schmilsson is an interesting runner returned to the level and heads up the dangers, along with Sol Cayo and Fast Fred.
