The Big Lad^e/s³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 74

5/1

Turned a corner recently and thriving since dropped down to the minimum distance and fitted with an eye shield; recording back-to-back wins at Lingfield and Southwell. Must have leading claims in hat-trick bid with the yard in fine form and just a 4lb rise to deal with.

Form: 1-16423

Zipedeedodah^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 74

11/1

Scored twice at Wolverhampton in November but not in the same kind of form since and particularly disappointing at that track last time when last of nine. Tends to struggle from a mark this high and has plenty to prove currently.

Form: 9-16534

(2)

Dream Farr^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Thomas Brown| T: E Walker| OR: 74

9/4

Put it all together to win at Wolverhampton last time when keeping on well to win by a length but the drop back down in trip is a slight surprise he needs to prove he's got the speed for this test.

Form: 32-1315

Doctor Parkes¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 73

16/1

Three time winner in 2016 (two handicaps and a claimer) but ran below form last twice in a claimer and a seller. Likely to need plenty more back in a handicap but has won over this C&D.

Form: 476827

(9)

Welease Bwian⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 70

12/1

Not beaten a rival home in last two starts and hard to fancy in current form but last three wins have come over C&D and back down to a reasonable mark at least.

Form: 0340-07

(3)

Ebony N Ivory^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 70

9/2

Not won since recording a debut win at Salisbury and shaped as if needing the run when fading into third at Wolverhampton last time. Likely to build on that and place claims at the very least.

Form: 6-38475

(4)

You're Cool²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽⁵⁾| T: J Balding| OR: 69

9/2

First win in a while last time out at Wolverhampton. Last win prior to that came over C&D in 2015 so clearly effective around here and still just on a workable mark but claimer has lost his 2lb of his 7lb claim so he's effectively 6lb higher in weights.

Form: 512193

(11)

Sir Theodore¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 67

33/1

Not beaten many home on last six starts and needs his jockey to be worth every ounce of his claim if he's to avoid the widest draw here.

Form: 815350

(5)

K'gari Spirit^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: N Mackay| T: J Gask| OR: 62

14/1

Off the mark in C&D win last time and the form of that win has been boosted so should be thereabouts once again off a 5lb higher mark.

Form: 517842

Forecasts

Dream Farr (9/4), You're Cool (9/2), Ebony N Ivory (9/2), The Big Lad (5/1), Richter Scale (10/1), Zipedeedodah (11/1), Welease Bwian (12/1), Archie Stevens (12/1), K'gari Spirit (14/1), Doctor Parkes (16/1), Sir Theodore (33/1)

The eye-shield and drop to 5f has seen THE BIG LAD'S form turn around and he looks able of completing a hat-trick from just a 4lb higher mark. Other last time out winners You're Cool and K'gari Spirit are both C&D winners and it would be no surprise to see either in the finish with the former having won off a higher mark and the latter still unexposed. 1. The Big Lad 2. K'gari Spirit 3. You're Cool
