Dividend¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 83| D

11/4

Lightly-raced winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 11-runner novice at Kempton (8f, 11/2), travelled well and asserted close home. Chance if ready to roll after 156-day absence.

Form: 51501-

(3)

Substitute¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 81

16/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. Scored on AW debut when winning 10-runner nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) in October under this jockey. Open to further improvement.

Form: 130601-

(2)

Chesneys Charm¹¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78| BF

12/1

Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in October. Creditable second of 6 in nursery (7/4) at Newcastle (8f) in November. Gelded since and warrants respect given excellent record on the AW.

Form: 141432-

San Juanito³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 77

15/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Only third of 6 in maiden (6/4) at this C&D 35 days ago, despite having had the run of race. Could easily improve for the switch to handicaps.

Form: 53-3

(5)

City Of God¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 77| BF| CD

5/4

Cosily won 10-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f) last month, always in command. Failed to justify favouritism when only narrowly beaten by another improver on handicap debut last month and he could well make amends racing off the same mark (due to race off 2lb higher in future).

Form: 4-12

(4)

Jiff's Army⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: S C Williams| OR: 75| D

11/2

Improved for step up in trip when landing 9-runner maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/11) 56 days ago, winning readily. May need to progress again on handicap debut.

Form: 7233-1

Forecasts

City Of God (5/4), Dividend (11/4), Jiff's Army (11/2), San Juanito (15/2), Chesneys Charm (12/1), Substitute (16/1)

CITY OF GOD, due to race off a 2 lb higher mark in future, can make amends having been denied by a fellow improving sort on handicap debut 10 days ago. Dividend caught the eye with a smooth-travelling victory at Kempton when last seen, he's feared ahead of San Juanito who may improve for the switch to handicaps.
