Cosmos Raj^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| CD

12/1

C&D winner halted poor run of form when third of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 16/1) 19 days ago. Fairly treated but remains to be seen if he can back it up.

Form: 160-073

(4)

Star Pupil^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 69| C

4/1

Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford City (8f). Respected but is yet to win beyond 7f.

Form: 0-31242

(2)

Ciotog¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 22/1, not seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, would have benefitted from a stronger gallop. May not get the truly-run race he needs on this occasion.

Form: 513676

Pursuit Of Truth¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: K P De Foy| OR: 68| BF

15/8

Possibly found the race coming too soon when sixth of 11 in handicap (5/2) at Newcastle (8f) back in October, staying on after hampered briefly 3f out. Sold from Owen Burrows 17,000 gns later that month and not seen since. Fairly handicapped and one to consider for his new yard.

Form: 78/526-

(3)

Harlem Nights^p⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 67| CWS

9/1

Course winner ran poorly when last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 15/2) 55 days ago. Back up in trip following wind surgery and has a bit to prove.

Form: 5893-39

(7)

Tea Sea^b²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| C

7/2

Course winner arrives in excellent heart, latest run a respectable third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. Merits consideration back up in trip.

Form: 31-1143

(1)

Prince Ali⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 65| CD

11/2

4-time course winner who turned in his best effort for some time when winning here (9.5f) on penultimate start. Shapes as though still in good form when fourth over same C&D 9 days ago, having not enjoyed a smooth passage. Should give another good account.

Form: 17-1714

Forecasts

Pursuit Of Truth (15/8), Tea Sea (7/2), Star Pupil (4/1), Prince Ali (11/2), Harlem Nights (9/1), Cosmos Raj (12/1), Ciotog (22/1)

Having looked on a workable mark when trained by Owen Burrows, the lightly-raced PURSUIT OF TRUTH may be able to make a winning stable debut for Kevin Philippart de Foy. Tea Sea arrives in great heart and should be in the mix once again, while Prince Ali may be able to maintain his recent run of good form.
