Kracking^h,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 65| D

10/3

Headstrong sort again pulled away his chance when last of 6 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago. One to treat with caution.

Form: 325-696

(7)

Stella Hogan^e/s,h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| CD

10/3

Quirky sort posted a career best when winning 10-runner handicap over C&D in first-time eyeshields on penultimate run. Showed her character again latest, slowly away and took a keen hold when third over a mile at this venue 2 weeks ago. Remains capable at this level if putting it all together.

Form: 4-12213

Once Adaay^t,v⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 62| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner was fairly strong in the market (after 6 months off) when creditable third of 6 in handicap at this C&D and gave the impression he might even benefit from the outing. Not seen for 77 days but chance if he can back up his latest effort.

Form: 03370-3

Francisco¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 62

15/2

Has developed a tendency to be slowly away from the stalls, very tardy when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago. Lightly-raced sort is clearly capable in this sort of company but needs to brush up on his starts.

Form: 53/2823

(8)

Kondratiev Wave^b²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| CD

7/1

C&D winner posted a brace of runners-up efforts prior to a rare below par run when sixth of 10 in a handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 22 days ago. Blinkers replace regular cheekpieces and not ruled out if that change has the desired effect.

Form: 7-24226

(5)

Got No Dollars^p,t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| C| D

33/1

C&D winner who notched his seventh career victory in 6-runner handicap at this venue (8f) in January, holding on under largely hands-and-heels riding. Wasn't in the same form off 2 lb higher up in class next time and he may need further leniency from the handicapper (now dropped 1 lb) to win again.

Form: 1774-16

(9)

Just Rita^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60

28/1

Maiden who stepped up markedly on her stable debut effort when second of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell in January. Not quite in the same form (after 10 weeks off) when well-held at the same venue earlier this month but claims if she can step forward from that.

Form: 6629-26

(2)

Flag Carrier²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Brian Toomey| OR: 60| D

15/2

Wasn't seen to best effect in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago but he's no forlorn hope stepping back up to 7f racing off a career-low handicap mark.

Form: 85-5064

(4)

Thomas Equinas^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 56| CD

12/1

4-time C&D winner wasn't seen to best effect at this venue when seventh of 10 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, having been forced wide on the home turn. Not ruled out from 1 lb below latest winning mark.

Form: 157-477

Forecasts

Kracking (10/3), Stella Hogan (10/3), Once Adaay (5/1), Kondratiev Wave (7/1), Flag Carrier (15/2), Francisco (15/2), Thomas Equinas (12/1), Just Rita (28/1), Got No Dollars (33/1)

Despite her quirks, STELLA HOGAN remains very capable at this level if putting it all together and she may be able to record another C&D victory. Flag Carrier and Thomas Equinas both make each-way appeal from their falling handicap marks, while Francisco has the form to win this but comes with risks attached given his habit of starting slowly.
