Elettaria¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 52| CD

8/1

Career best when winning 9-runner minor event (7/2) at this C&D 10 days ago by nose from Monsieur Fantaisie, just holding on. Now 6 lb higher but she did pull nicely clear of the rest with the runner-up and should give another good account.

Form: 3536-61

(6)

Concert Boy^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: K Scott| OR: 52| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Two wins from 41 Flat runs. Latest win here in January. 7/1, creditable second of 6 in handicap at this course (8f) 10 days ago, finding little. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 327-512

(10)

Impeach^b,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: R Menzies| OR: 52

10/3

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at this course (8f) 10 days ago. Blinkers and tongue strap back on. Every chance if back to best.

Form: 664-563

Monsieur Fantaisie^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: P D Niven| OR: 52| BF| D

5/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. Good nose second of 9 to Elettaria in minor event at this C&D (2/1) 10 days ago, just failing. Expected to be bang there once again.

Form: 073-212

(1)

Believe Me Now^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 50| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 9/4, 5¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Elettaria in minor event at this C&D 10 days ago. Clearly has work to do.

Form: 3634-16

(8)

Yaahobby^h,t⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 49| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 8/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 4 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 573-528

(9)

Jems Bond^v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: A D Brown| OR: 48| CD

5/1

Five-time course winner but gone 21 runs since most recent success in 2023. 11/1 and visored for 1st time, very good second of 11 in minor event at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 004-342

(2)

Marcello Si¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 46| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Eighth of 11 in minor event (12/1) at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 1698-88

(4)

Retirement Beckons¹⁰⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| C

50/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 8 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D, very slowly away. Off 105 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 736447-

(5)

Mr Coco Bean^p¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Helen Cuthbert| OR: 45

40/1

Fifty runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, good 4 lengths fifth of 9 to Elettaria in minor event at this C&D 10 days ago, merely closing up late. Has work to do.

Form: 776-785

Forecasts

Impeach (10/3), Concert Boy (9/2), Jems Bond (5/1), Monsieur Fantaisie (5/1), Yaahobby (7/1), Elettaria (8/1), Marcello Si (12/1), Believe Me Now (16/1), Mr Coco Bean (40/1), Retirement Beckons (50/1)

It was literally a whisker that separated MONSIEUR FANTAISIE and Elettaria on the line in a C&D handicap 10 days ago, with the latter emerging victorious. Peter Niven's charge is 1 lb better off this time and may well turn the tables on his old rival, particularly if settling better. Impeach continues to edge down the weights and is best of the rest.
