Craggaknock²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: L P Aspell| T: R C Guest| OR: 120

9/2

Good effort on debut for his current yard last month suggests he's potentially got a bit up his sleeve just now. One to keep close tabs on in the betting.

Form: 50-4552

Board Of Trade⁴³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 120| D

5/1

Off for a long time but returns for a top yard on a potentially lenient mark - well worth a betting check at least.

Form: 415/2F6-

Nicely Indeed²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby| OR: 115

16/1

Mainly consistent since joining his current trainer and ideally suited by this return to a longer trip. Another on a feasibly competitive mark and can go well with the ground conditions likely to suit.

Form: 322584

Master Of Finance^p⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁷⁾| T: L Wadham| OR: 114WS

13/2

Had a busy spell last year but didn't reap much in the way of a return on any investments. First start since undergoing a wind operation but probably best watched unless market confidence is stronger than expected.

Form: 424838

Princess Tara¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 114

14/1

Not too many miles on the clock and would have claims on the very pick of his efforts. Most recent form is uninspiring, though and others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: P1/25PF

Generous Day⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 113| C

9/2

Holding his form well and possible he's still on the upgrade. More to do under a 6lb higher mark than for his win over an extended 2m2f here at Christmas and also needs to prove his stamina over this new trip.

Form: 64-2131

Future Security^t⁵⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 109| D

5/2

Swapped a round a good handful of yards in his time but proved he retains ability with a win in France before joining his new yard. Interesting if supported but this does look a bit tougher than some of his recent assignments.

Form: 41448/1-

Towering^b²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: P J Brennan| T: C R Dore| OR: 103| D

20/1

Acts well at this course but struggling to make an impact in recent times and looks to face another tough test.

Form: 124556

Forecasts

Future Security (5/2), Generous Day (9/2), Craggaknock (9/2), Board Of Trade (5/1), Master Of Finance (13/2), Princess Tara (14/1), Nicely Indeed (16/1), Towering (20/1)

It's very possible that CRAGGAKNOCK has more to offer now his fitness has been topped up and the top weight just edges a narrow vote of confidence ahead of Generous Day, who is respected but has something to prove regarding his stamina, and Nicely Indeed, who is on a handy mark and is likely to be seen in better light over today's distance.
