Semana Santa²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 65| D

7/1

Only success in 17 starts came in an AW maiden, but usually gives her running and ran well at Carlisle last time. Takes a drop in grade and can go well.

Form: 526243

Market Choice^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 64| D

25/1

Won twice when trained by Michael Dods, but so far out of luck for current handler. Falling handicap mark is a source of encouragement.

Form: 953759

Lucky Lodge^v⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 64| C| D

33/1

Bounced back to form on the AW at Newcastle last time and switches back to turf with fair credentials off 4lb higher.

Form: 346501

(1)

Spirit Of Zebedee^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 64| BF| D

7/1

Cashed in on a lenient mark to win at Catterick last month. Runs off a 9b higher mark and the evidence suggests he may find that beyond him.

Form: 770213

(11)

Big Amigo⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| D

20/1

Four-times AW winner who has been out of sorts in recent races on artificial surfaces and turf. Better ground than last time may help, but he has questions to answer.

Form: 386007

(2)

Point Of Woods^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 63

6/1

Won twice for Ralph Beckett in 2015, but has failed to add to those successes. Last two efforts off this mark have been good, though, so enters calculations under a good claimer.

Form: 222834

(8)

Uncle Charlie¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 65| D

14/1

Fair strike rate of two wins from 10 races and has been far from disgraced off this mark on his last two starts. Trip and ground should be fine and draw in the centre is advantageous.

Form: 810734

(14)

Meandmyshadow^b¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Josh Doyle⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 63| D

14/1

Frontrunner who lost little in defeat when just touched off at Catterick last time. Finds winning difficult these days, though, and others are more convincing.

Form: 707202

(10)

Nuns Walk¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

9/1

Promise in three maidens before winning one at Newcastle last time. First venture into handicap company and, given her progressive profile, looks a leading contender.

Form: 2721

(3)

Ypres^p²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: J Ward| OR: 61| D

9/1

Experienced campaigner who came from the clouds when registering his fourth success at Carlisle in July. Ran well at that stiff track again last time and this course may not suit quite so well.

Form: 341934

(19)

Willsy^e/s1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Gemma Tutty⁽⁵⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 60| D

22/1

Has not been at his best on his last two starts so connections have opted to fit an eyeshield in a bid to spark a revival. Has a chance off this mark if the headgear works.

Form: 232400

(13)

Bogsnog²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60| D

25/1

Last three wins have come on the Wolverhampton AW, but he has three successes on turf to his credit. In good heart and certainly worth a second look.

Form: 821714

(4)

Rapid Ranger^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

4/1

Still a maiden after nine starts, but shrewd stable will surely squeeze a race out of him and this could be the one judged on a fine second off this mark at Catterick last time.

Form: 354432

(20)

Funding Deficit^h³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| CD

33/1

On a long, losing run and seems to be on a downward curve. Well weighted if anywhere near his best, but can't be backed in his current vein of form.

Form: 9-90590

(16)

Cryptonite³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 59| D

25/1

Registered his second success at Bath last month under this jockey and ran respectably off 4lb higher over C&D on his latest outing. Each-way claims.

Form: 684816

(7)

Barkston Ash^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Neil Farley| T: E J Alston| OR: 57| CD

28/1

Approaching the veteran stage and his form seems to be on the slide as he does so. Down to his lowest mark for over six years.

Form: 480-708

(5)

Melrose Girl³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 58

25/1

Lightly-raced filly who has showed signs of promise, including on debut in handicap company. May need to drop a few pounds if she is to get her head in front.

Form: 45436

(12)

Bay Station^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: J Ward| OR: 57

33/1

Sent off at 33-1 when winning on debut last year, but has largely struggled since. Signs of a revival on last two starts and could go well.

Form: 744546

Space War⁶

Weight: 9-6| Age: 10

T: M & D Easterby J: Ryan Timby

Forecasts

Rapid Ranger (4/1), Point Of Woods (6/1), Semana Santa (7/1), Spirit Of Zebedee (7/1), Space War (8/1), Nuns Walk (9/1), Ypres (9/1), Meandmyshadow (14/1), Uncle Charlie (14/1), Big Amigo (20/1), Willsy (22/1), Melrose Girl (25/1), Bogsnog (25/1), Cryptonite (25/1), Market Choice (25/1), Salvatore Fury (25/1), Barkston Ash (28/1), Lucky Lodge (33/1), Bay Station (33/1), Funding Deficit (33/1)

A wide-open finale which can go to RAPID RANGER, who ran on stoutly to be second last time and can get off the mark for his respected connections. Dangers abound, headed by Point Of Woods, Uncle Charlie and Nuns Walk, with the latter especially interesting in a handicap for the first time. Bottom weight Bay Station could run well at a decent price.
