Humble Spark¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75| D

3/1

Back-to-back winner at Newcastle around the turn of the year and runner-up all 3 starts since, latterly when just failing in 7-runner handicap back at that venue 13 days ago. Nudged up further 2 lb ahead of this but respected again.

Form: 51-1222

Super Superjack¹³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: William Carver| T: O Murphy| OR: 72| D

28/1

Fair handicapper who wasn't seen to best effect in a slowly-run race when fourth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (2m) in October. Absent since and he'll need a good gallop to aim at if he's to feature down in trip.

Swinging London^p,t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Ryan Sexton| T: J Mackie| OR: 72| BF| C| D

4/1

Course winner. Latest win here in January. 5/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 6 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account back down in trip.

Form: 1-41334

Tortured Soul²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71| C| D

7/2

Course winner who confirmed more positive signs when resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in December. Narrowly followed up at Lingfield (12f) 28 days ago and shortlisted in hat-trick bid from 2 lb higher mark.

Form: 68421-1

See The Green^p1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: George Wood| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 73| D

20/1

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fair winner at 2m over hurdles. Below form sixth of 10 in juvenile hurdle (17/2) at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Needs to get back on track returned to this sphere with cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 42106-

Kinetic^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 72| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in February. 4/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 13 days ago, weakening over 1f out having raced freely. Better showing anticipated.

Form: 06-2619

(9)

See Paris³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 69

28/1

Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 50/1) 34 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Has it to prove at present now stepping back up significantly in trip.

Form: 15509-0

Whatacracker²⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 66

9/1

Tasted success over 11f as a 3-y-o but below best on 2 of his 3 starts during a light 2024 campaign. Others appeal more returning from 8 months off.

Form: 316/047-

(5)

Night Horn²³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 66

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden who found some improvement when second of 5 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good) in June. Disappointed at Doncaster later that month and joined new connections for 7,000 gns thereafter. One to monitor in the betting for positive vibes back from 7 months off.

Forecasts

Humble Spark (3/1), Tortured Soul (7/2), Kinetic (4/1), Swinging London (4/1), Whatacracker (9/1), Night Horn (10/1), See The Green (20/1), See Paris (28/1), Super Superjack (28/1)

Having tasted success on no less than 6 occasions last winter, TORTURED SOUL arrives on the back of victories at Wolverhampton/Lingfield in recent months and he looks a big player again in his hat-trick bid. Kinetic, who is best excused her latest run, Humble Spark and Swinging London head up the dangers in the finale.
