Glenfinnan¹⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 95| D

25/1

Bagged a second success of 2024 at Sandown (7f) in August but struggled for consistency and was well below par on his final two runs. Needs to get back on track on his seasonal return.

Coachello⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 94| D

28/1

Gained a first success for his current yard at Wolverhampton in December and shaped better than position suggests when a free-going ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago. Not ruled out given the likely stronger gallop this time.

Form: 0041-59

Billyjoh^p¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson| T: M Appleby| OR: 93| CD

12/1

C&D winner who ended 2024 with a respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7f) in October. It's now 13 runs since his last win however.

Form: 023004-

Bosh²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 93| D

33/1

A fairly useful dual 6f scorer last season for Richard Hannon but off the track since beating only one at Ascot in September. It would come as no surprise to see him get back on track for his new yard here though.

Form: 138276-

(10)

Aramis Grey³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jack Jones| OR: 93| D

16/1

On a long losing run she's a reliable sort and has made a solid start for his new stable, third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 30 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 4342-53

(2)

Fine Interview¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 91| CD

11/4

French recruit enjoyed an excellent time of it for his current yard, last season, making it three wins from six runs over C&D (soft) in October. Off since but he's not taken lightly despite having a career-high mark to overcome.

Form: 316121-

(20)

Eye Of Dubai¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 90| CD

7/1

Got back on the up in the second half of last season and signed off with victory in 15-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) in November. Up 3 lb but he could have more to offer as a 4-y-o and needs considering.

Form: 431331-

(15)

Probe^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 90| D

20/1

A three-time 6f winner in 2023. Resumed from 15 months off with an encouraging sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains one to be interested in from a reduced mark.

Form: 00916/6

(19)

Knebworth^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 89| CD

11/1

Took this 12 months ago and he teed himself up well for a repeat when an encouraging fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 22 days ago, running on late. Should be spot on here and bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 52351-4

(8)

Tinto¹⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 89| D

50/1

Again paid his way last season with victories in a couple of 6f Thirsk handicaps. Ended the campaign below par though and came in well held in this on his return 12 months ago.

Form: 031008-

(9)

Woven¹⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Dods| OR: 87| CD

14/1

C&D winner who signed off for 2024 with a creditable tenth of 15 in handicap over C&D in November. Also runner-up in this contest 12 months ago so he must enter calculations.

Form: 051040-

(5)

Dark Thirty²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 86| D

5/1

Started 2024 with a bang when landing 18-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f) in April. Needs to shrug off some lesser runs since but not taken lightly given he goes well fresh and has slipped to a handy mark.

Form: 000006-

(11)

La Rochette¹²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 86| D

80/1

A fairly useful ex-French 6f winner at her best. Ended 2024 out of sorts though so needs this yard switch to spark major improvement.

Form: 110095-

(13)

Physique^h¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 86

9/1

Scored over 7f in Ireland for Michael Fenton last September but he went off the boil after. Starts out for new yard now after a lay-off with more required.

Form: 221009-

(18)

Archduke Ferdinand^p¹⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 85| C| D

14/1

Ended last term in good form, fitted with cheekpieces when bagging 6f handicaps at Newmarket and Redcar in the autumn. Headgear is again sported for his return so this course winner can make his presence felt.

Form: 451124-

(14)

Chairmanoftheboard^p¹⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 85| D

25/1

Ended a losing run stretching back three years in 6f handicap at Goodwood in October. Cheekpieces replaces visor for his reappearance and possibilities off just a 2 lb higher mark.

Form: 823001-

(22)

Albert Cee^t1²⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 84| D

25/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o who made a winning start for James Owen at Chepstow last June but wasn't seen again after a fair fiifth at Haydock following month. Needs to hit the ground running for another new stable here.

Form: 2217/15-

(4)

Havana Pusey¹⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 84| D

16/1

Scored at Windsor (6f) last June but proved hit and miss after, only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f) in November. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 392020-

(16)

Trilby¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: S England| OR: 83| D

14/1

Thrived on a busy 2024, scoring for the fourth time in 5f handicap at Haydock in Ocotber. Also went in on his seasonal return so he's very much one to consider reappearing here off a still workable mark.

Forecasts

Fine Interview (11/4), Dark Thirty (5/1), Eye Of Dubai (7/1), Aleezdancer (8/1), Physique (9/1), Knebworth (11/1), Billyjoh (12/1), Solar Aclaim (12/1), Woven (14/1), Trilby (14/1), Archduke Ferdinand (14/1), Havana Pusey (16/1), Aramis Grey (16/1), Probe (20/1), Glenfinnan (25/1), Chairmanoftheboard (25/1), Albert Cee (25/1), Zoulu Chief (25/1), Coachello (28/1), Bosh (33/1), Tinto (50/1), La Rochette (80/1)

This is wide open but it could pay to side with last year's victor KNEBWORTH who shaped well on his recent return when fourth at Wolverhampton and hails from a yard among the winners. Dark Thirty has a good record fresh and could emerge as the main danger off a lenient mark, although a solid case can be made for plenty of others, namely Fine Interview, Eye of Dubai, Bosh, Trilby and Archduke Ferdinand in this cracking sprint.
