Vincenzo Coccotti¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S W Kelly| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 67| CD

17/2

Better than this handicap rating in the past, last couple of efforts are a mild cause for concern but return to this C&D a plus.

Form: 66337-8

(7)

Air Of York^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J L Flint| OR: 64| CD

6/1

Has been running fairly well since last win back in October, including over C&D. 4lb higher in the weights than at the time of that victory and should find this a workable mark.

Form: 41476-4

(2)

Plucky Dip^v1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Osborn⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 64| CD

4/1

C&D winner at his best but well-held of late. Needs a first-time visor to have a massively positive impact against some more in-form rivals.

Form: 9398-97

(6)

Vroom^e/c1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 64| C| D

20/1

Course winner and now only slightly higher in the weights than at the time of his last win. Eye hood on.

Form: 5617-70

(10)

Light From Mars^p¹⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 62| CD

14/1

On a long losing run and despite being dropped a useful 3lb by the handicapper he looks vulnerable against some much younger rivals.

Form: 2885-64

(4)

Beatbybeatbybeat^v²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 60| D

7/1

Not beaten far at all in a small-field contest over C&D last time. If able to repeat that level of form in a larger field she should go very close.

Form: 425U4-3

(8)

Jumping Around^p³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60

11/2

Has been performing much better than her form figures suggest on recent starts. Yet to win a handicap but 19lb lower than opening mark and no surprise to see her win soon.

Form: 732896-

(1)

Sea Tea Dea³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 58| D

8/1

Hasn't won since handicap debut. Slightly step in the right direction latest but still needs to find much more from the inside draw.

Form: 856706-

(3)

Herm¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Fran Berry| T: P D Evans| OR: 56| CD

17/2

C&D winner who couldn't build on that effort at Newcastle last time out. On the same mark now but the return to this course/a better draw could see him to better effect.

Form: 97881-8

(5)

Ad Vitam^b,t²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 52| C| D

10/1

Drew a blank in 2017 but ran well over shorter here last time out and shouldn't have an issue stepping back up in trip.

Form: 68757-4

Forecasts

Plucky Dip (4/1), Jumping Around (11/2), Air Of York (6/1), Beatbybeatbybeat (7/1), Sea Tea Dea (8/1), Herm (17/2), Vincenzo Coccotti (17/2), Ad Vitam (10/1), Light From Mars (14/1), Vroom (20/1)

A competitive enough affair where the one who appeals most is AIR OF YORK. A C&D winner, he has been putting in some good efforts since his last victory back in October. He may be 4lb higher in the weights but a drop in class is another plus and a big run looks on the cards. He is narrowly preferred to Beatbybeatbybeat, third over C&D last time, and Jumping Around, who should win a handicap before long.
