Starliner¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 70| CD

6/1

C&D winner who shaped much better than distance having been caught wide from low draw when fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Worth a second look with his mark having eased a little more.

Form: 9-36745

Streak Lightning^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70| CD

8/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Fifth of 7 in handicap (6/1) at this course (7.1f) 22 days ago, plugging on without threatening from this revised mark. Still, he can't be discounted in a wide-open affair.

Form: 225615

Roaring Ralph^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Dods| OR: 70| D

11/2

Dual winner last year who shaped as if needing the run after 3 months off when fifth over C&D in February and stepped up with good placed efforts in pair of 6f handicaps here since. Return to 7f looks in his favour and he's worth a second look.

Form: 657-523

King's School^p,t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 70| BF| CD

9/1

Two-time C&D winner in December who wasn't at his best when sixth of 7 in C&D handicap 22 days ago, racing off the pace and making no impression. Comes here operating 2 lb below last winning mark however if he can bounce back with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 438956

Rebecca's Girl^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 70| CD

4/1

Model of consistency for this yard, adding another C&D handicap to her tally in February. Placed all 3 starts since, keeping on for second in 10-runner 6f handicap here 7 days ago. Should give another good account.

Blufferonthebus¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 68| D

40/1

Three wins from 16 runs last year but finished well held after 5 months off when tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 40/1) 15 days ago. Won second time out last season, so interesting if the market spoke in her favour.

Form: 67522-0

Cusack^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: D Thompson| OR: 67| CD

11/2

8-time course winner who settled better than most when resuming winning ways in 8-runner C&D handicap last week, upsides 1f out and leading close home. This looks a little tougher nudged up 2 lb but hard to rule out another good showing.

Form: 157251

(6)

Tomorrow Day^t,v²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| BF| CD

6/1

5-time course winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year. 5/4, respectable second of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Enters calculations.

Form: 132342

Wyvern^v⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Dylan Hogan| T: P Morris| OR: 58| BF| C| D

15/2

Course winner who ran his best race for a while in change of headgear when second of 8 in handicap at this course (1m) 4 days ago, that despite being left with too much to do. Visor again reached for turned out quickly but this is a deeper affair.

Form: 765642

Forecasts

Rebecca's Girl (4/1), Cusack (11/2), Roaring Ralph (11/2), Starliner (6/1), Tomorrow Day (6/1), Wyvern (15/2), Streak Lightning (8/1), King's School (9/1), Blufferonthebus (40/1)

STARLINER confirmed his return to form and shaped better than the bare result in the process when finishing midfield in a C&D handicap 16 days ago, just unable to sustain his eye-catching move having been caught wide from his low draw. He shades the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with the ultra-consistent Rebecca's Girl and Roaring Ralph others to consider. Tomorrow Day, who has been kept very busy in recent months, isn't out of things, either.
