Tyger Bay^b,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 71| C

8/1

4-time course winner who again ran well when placed third but later promoted to second in 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 7/2) 14 days ago. Had no excuses from the front on that occasion but he's a player again operating from a handy mark back stepped up to 7f.

Form: 7533-62

(2)

Straight A¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Frederick Larson| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| D

3/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago. Equally as effective at this shorter trip and possibilities again nudged up 3 lb.

Form: 1570-31

(8)

Dion Baker^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Wigham| OR: 70| D

18/1

Three wins from 25 runs last year. Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 16 days ago, fading when headed over 1f out. Others appeal more judged on recent exploits.

Form: 72097-7

Shahbaz³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70

12/1

Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 125/1) 37 days ago. Lightly raced for yard but can only be watched until showing more positive signs.

Form: 44/0000-

(3)

Lunarscape^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68

6/1

Latest win at Lingfield in September. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this course (1m) 14 days ago, keeping on but no match for winner. Not out of things back down in trip.

Form: 71216-2

(7)

Tronido¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 67| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 5/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) in October, racing closer to pace than ideal. Mark has eased a little more back from 4 months off but others appeal more.

Form: 112338-

Enpassant^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 65| D

5/2

7/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, short of room 2f out but keeping on. One to bear in mind again partnered by Rossa Ryan.

Form: 5544-43

(6)

Ashford Hill¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Isobelle Chalmers⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 53| D

10/1

Winner at Lingfield in November. 9/1, good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, staying on final 1f. Eligible for lesser contests but respected nevertheless if starting better.

Form: 8147-42

Forecasts

Enpassant (5/2), Straight A (3/1), Tronido (11/2), Lunarscape (6/1), Tyger Bay (8/1), Ashford Hill (10/1), Shahbaz (12/1), Dion Baker (18/1)

STRAIGHT A got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, always travelling fluently and getting a clear run when required to prevail in a tight finish. He's a lead player again with the drop back in trip holding no fears. Enpassant, Tyger Bay and Lunarscape head up the dangers.
