11/4

Fair performer on the AW and turf and won at Brighton in October over 10f. Two modest runs since at Wolverhampton but might not be able to concede weight all round here.

Form: 338134-

Shining Romeo²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: D P Quinn| OR: 60

8/1

Losing run starting to build up now and below form last time out at Southwell. Would have a chance on earlier form but he would need to find more here.

Form: 77-4165

Runaiocht^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D A Parkes⁽⁵⁾| T: P Burgoyne| OR: 60

15/2

Dual AW winner at Lingfield over a mile and 10f and looked as though he may well have needed the run last time out.

Form: 416850

Gunner Moyne¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: G Baker| T: G & J Moore| OR: 59

4/1

Has won twice on the AW winning at Chelmsford early last year. Some other solid form off around this mark but was below form at Chelmsford last time.

Form: 56-0617

Hydrant¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: R C Guest| OR: 59

33/1

Looks a better Turf performer than AW player with nine wins on the former surface and just one on the latter. Last two runs have been below par though.

Form: 574092

Kristal Hart^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 58

6/1

Has won over this C&D and is a three-time AW winner. Back to form last time at Wolverhampton and interesting in this sphere with that run behind her.

Form: 415-217

Suitsus^t1⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: T J Murphy| T: G Deacon| OR: 58

25/1

Capable but just the one win from 21 Flat starts and his only win came over this course (6f). Back from a break and down in the weights last time when finishing third at Kempton and features on a handy mark here.

Form: 03-3309

Sunshineandbubbles^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

10/1

C&D maiden winner on his penultimate start beating three rivals having had the run of the race. Back up in trip last time failed to fire in a handicap and this mark looks tough for her.

Form: 779371

Daleelak¹⁹

Yet to win or be placed on the AW in four starts and finished last at Wolverhampton on his latest start.

Dark Amber^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: B G Powell| OR: 56

8/1

Lightly-raced on the AW (just four starts so far) but showed some potential and aptitude for the surface last time at Kempton. Slow starts can give her a lot to do but if she can get away on terms she is capable of winning a handicap at this level.

Form: 2760P6

Bookmaker^b¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger| OR: 55

33/1

Dual Lingfield scorer (both wins over shorter) but has been well below form on his last three starts and not that reliable.

Form: 127234

(2)

Sexy Secret^p⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Simon Pearce⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 55

16/1

Low-grade handicapper who is capable enough on the AW and recorded her first turf victory last summer at Yarmouth. Well below that form when back from a break last time out.

Forecasts

Maverik (11/4), Gunner Moyne (4/1), Kristal Hart (6/1), Runaiocht (15/2), Dark Amber (8/1), Shining Romeo (8/1), Rianna Star (8/1), Sunshineandbubbles (10/1), Outlaw Torn (12/1), Sexy Secret (16/1), Daleelak (16/1), Suitsus (25/1), Hydrant (33/1), Bookmaker (33/1)

This is a low-grade finale to the card without many improving types or ones ahead of their marks. Maverick has been capable of form off much higher marks in the past and makes some appeal on his first start for a new yard. Gunner Moyne can go well fresh and can’t be ignored while the well-handicapped Siutsus in a tongue-tie for the first time should be watched in the market. Rianna Star is expected to build on her first start in handicap company with Dark Amber also of interest if she can get away on terms. Overall though KRISTAL HART makes the most appeal, she has won over C&D and a repeat of her Wolverhampton third would see her go close here. 1. Kristal Hart 2. Rianna Star 3. Suitsus
