Al Mudhaffar^p⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Lewis Kent⁽⁵⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 70| D

16/1

Dundalk winner for Joseph O'Brien around this time last year, but yet to really get going in 3 starts for his new handler, a first-time visor failing to spark him back to life at Southwell (8.1f) when last seen 3 months ago. Cheekpieces back on for a return to turf but probably best watched.

Hartswood²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Lois Teal⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| CD

13/2

Back to form when scoring at Newcastle in January and made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts back there (8f) just over 4 weeks ago, better placed than most in a race run a steady tempo. Nudged up 2 lb and this previous C&D winner shouldn't be underestimated in his current mood.

Form: 79-6121

(7)

Warning Sign^p¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70

7/2

Consistent performer who finished runner-up for fourth consecutive time at Ascot in October, nearest finish. Probably remained in form given his track position when fifth at Newbury (12f, heavy) on final outing of the season and could be significant that he makes his reappearance over 1m.

Form: 022225-

Poet's Dawn^p¹⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Rebecca Burley⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| D

40/1

On the scoresheet at Carlisle back in August but struggled for consistency thereafter, shaping better than the distance beaten suggested but failing to get home when last seen at Redcar (10f, soft) 5 months ago. Will probably need this outing.

Form: 164927-

(10)

Yeoman^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Paul Hainey⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 69

11/1

Losing run is mounting and he continues to hold himself back at the start, typically giving his running when fifth at Southwell (8.1f) just over 2 weeks ago. This a very rare turf outing and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 23-3435

(6)

Angel Of England¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: A D Brown| OR: 68

18/1

Gone close a few times for current connections but losing run now stands at fifteen and excuses were hard to come by at Southwell (6.1f) earlier in the month. Career-low mark to work with back on turf and not dismissed with a very experience pilot booked.

Form: 267-287

(21)

Love Your Work⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Ned Sangster⁽⁵⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 68| D

25/1

Hit the target 3 times last year and resumed winning ways with a 25/1 shock at Chelmsford earlier in the month. Not in the same form at Lingfield (8f) just 6 days ago and hard to know what mood this 9-y-o will arrive in (isn't the easiest to catch right).

Form: 18-5817

(1)

Serenity Dream^v1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr E Cagney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

6/1

Yet to get off the mark for current connections and operating below his best this year, mid-field at Southwell (7.1f) earlier this month. Hopes pinned on more severe headgear doing the trick.

Form: 63-0306

(5)

Havana Prince³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr R Birkett| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 67| D

12/1

In rude health on the Flat last summer, finishing campaign with his third victory in 4 starts when winning 14-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in July. Probably needed the run back on all-weather after 7 months off at Newcastle recently and this should reveal where he's at.

Form: 41141-5

(9)

Calanthe^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 67| D

14/1

Made a winning handicap debut at Lingfield last year and largely consistent since. Didn't look the easiest ride which perhaps explains his strike rate when third at Southwell (8.1f) earlier in the month and is back on the turf (on Flat) for the first time since his debut.

Form: 3-54423

(2)

Crownthorpe³³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A D Brown| OR: 66| D

50/1

Operating below best when last seen 11 months ago so he's hard to enthuse over despite a much-reduced mark.

Form: 47/6650-

(19)

Petra Celera¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Amy Collier| T: Roger Fell| OR: 65

28/1

Dual winner last year but out of sorts at present, never featuring when fourth at Newcastle (7.1f) earlier in the month. Is now 3 lb below her last winning mark but she needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Form: 5-08604

(15)

Cathedral Peak¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 65

14/1

Shaped promisingly when fifth of 15 on handicap debut at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) back in October on final outing for Joseph O'Brien, finishing well having had a hopeless task from position. Switched yards later that month (15,000 gns) and she remains open to improvement.

Form: 6605-

(8)

Liberated Lad^t,p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Holly Flynn⁽⁷⁾| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 64

50/1

Won 4 times last year but has seemingly lost the plot since scoring at Newcastle in January, going with no encouragement at Chelmsford earlier this month. Cheekpieces back on for his return to turf but he looks an easy swerve.

Form: 57-1578

(22)

Amaysmont¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Lauren Frost⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 64| D

33/1

Won 4 times on all-weather last year and picked up from where he'd left off 8 weeks prior with another placed effort at Chelmsford (7f) earlier this month. Should give a good account from the same mark.

Form: 1354-32

(20)

Zous Juice²⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63

28/1

Little to shout about last year, including when well beaten on handicap debut at Pontefract when last seen in July. Has only had a handful of starts though but will need a jolt of improvement to take this competitive event.

Form: 6556-

(14)

Absolutely Buzzing³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: D P Quinn| OR: 61| D

40/1

50/1 winner at Chelmsford last summer but shaped as if needing the run on first outing since leaving Michael Wigham after 3 months off back there (10f) last month. Handicapper drops her 2 lb and interesting to see which way she goes in the betting.

Form: 86137-7

(16)

Addosh^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Matt Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 59| D

33/1

In-an-out for James Owen over both hurdles and on Flat but reasonable first effort for this yard when sixth in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) earlier in the month. Reverts to the level but other seemingly have more solid credentials.

Form: 814-423

(13)

Al Suil Eile⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: S A Harris| OR: 58| D

22/1

Capitalised on a falling mark when registering a fourth course success at Southwell earlier in the month, helped by being held up in strongly run race. Not in the same form under a penalty back there since and this is his first turf start since 2021.

Form: 853516

(4)

Rising Force¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Mr Henry Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 55| D

25/1

Ended a long losing run at Chelmsford last year and has already hit the crossbar 3 times this year, latest at Southwell (8.1f) earlier in the month. Not seen on turf since August 2023 but folly to ignore.

Form: 4-24272

(12)

Mr Jetman¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Stephanie Dorey⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 54

8/1

Had slipped below his winning mark and returned to form on first outing since leaving Ivan Furtado after 7 weeks off when third at Newcastle earlier this month, well positioned. Mark unchanged and he could hit the frame with a repeat back on turf.

Form: 4660-73

Forecasts

Warning Sign (7/2), Serenity Dream (6/1), Hartswood (13/2), Mr Jetman (8/1), Yeoman (11/1), Havana Prince (12/1), Calanthe (14/1), Cathedral Peak (14/1), Al Mudhaffar (16/1), Angel Of England (18/1), Law Supreme (20/1), Al Suil Eile (22/1), Rising Force (25/1), Love Your Work (25/1), Zous Juice (28/1), Petra Celera (28/1), Amaysmont (33/1), Addosh (33/1), Poet's Dawn (40/1), Absolutely Buzzing (40/1), Liberated Lad (50/1), Crownthorpe (50/1)

An ultra-competitive start to proceedings and it could pay to side with CATHEDRAL PEAK, who shaped well having had a hopeless task from her position at Gowran when last seen 5 months ago and she remains open to improvement starting out for a new yard amongst the winners. The consistent Warning Sign heads up the dangers also making his return, with Hartswood, Calanthe and Rising Force just a handful of others to consider, too.
