Bill Plumb^t1⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 65| D

11/2

Followed a better run with a poor one when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/1) 73 days ago. Tongue strap on first time but others make more appeal.

Form: 714/746

Instant Bond¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: M Wigham| OR: 63

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden not given a hard time when third of 4 in maiden at Newcastle (5f, 9/2). Off 174 days. Could do better now handicapping.

Form: 623-

Kodi Red³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 62| CD

12/1

C&D winner fared little better than of late when eighth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 00-5648

Dark Side Prince^p³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 61| C

8/1

5-time course winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (9/1) at this course (5f) 35 days ago, deserving extra credit having been made to challenge deep on the track. One to consider from a fair handicap mark.

Form: 5647-73

Noble Consort^v²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 60| D

1/2

Showed improved form to resume winning ways after 3 months off when readily winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Won with something to spare that day and remains of interest.

Form: 6441-21

(3)

Sir Rodneyredblood^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 60| CD

25/1

Course winner. Latest win in February when well backed to capitalise on falling handicap mark. Not in same form on turf when last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm, 14/1) 9 days ago. Could bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 6-85157

(6)

Lord Danielson^p,h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 52| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7f) 13 days ago. No surprise to see him back to form returned to 6f.

Form: 416729

Forecasts

Noble Consort (1/2), Bill Plumb (11/2), Dark Side Prince (8/1), Kodi Red (12/1), Lord Danielson (20/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (25/1), Instant Bond (33/1)

NOBLE CONSORT found improvement when winning with something to spare at Southwell last month and he has good claims to follow up. Dark Side Prince was placed at this venue last time and is one to consider from his falling handicap mark, while it would be no surprise to see a return to form for Sir Rodneyredblood or Lord Danielson, both of whom go well here.
