Pack It In^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 61

33/1

Has won twice at up to 1m3½f on turf, though 0-3 on AW and has been well beaten in all three of those. Tries this venue for the first time today. Drops in grade, but not seen enough away from turf to recommend him.

Form: 7520-08

Cadeaux Boxer^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: L Carter| OR: 61

7/1

Yet to make the frame in six starts on AW, where best efforts have been at Lingfield and Kempton. Was beaten just over 2L from 9lb higher at Lingfield (1m) in October, but nowhere near that level of late and hard to fancy on that evidence.

Form: 64770-0

Muthraab Aldaar²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: J R Boyle| OR: 60| BF

3/1

Has won twice at Wolverhampton over 1m½f/1m1½f, the more recent being last June from 1lb lower. Reasonable effort at that venue again last time, but yet to be anything like as effective here and that is a concern going into this.

Form: 48006-3

Rattle On¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 57| D

8/1

Sole success was over this trip at Lingfield last April, when 4lb higher. Also went close there from 3lb higher in August. Well held last two starts, including 16L defeat over C&D when slowly away last time. Well treated if he can get back on track.

Form: 45240-8

Touch The Clouds¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 51| CD

7/2

Goes well here and scored over C&D last time out. Up 3lb here and in slightly better race, he may just come up short, though he has held his form well enough recently, so could still be among the prizes.

Form: 2072-41

(3)

Ok By Me⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR: 50

8/1

0-11 and yet to make the frame from five of those races on AW. Posted one of her better efforts when beaten just over 2L at Wolverhampton (1m½f) last week, but from same mark she needs to improve to pick up some prize money.

Form: 9707-07

(6)

Dukes Meadow¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 49| CD

8/1

1-39, though that win did at least come over C&D back in 2015. Went close again over C&D in December, when a neck second from today's mark. Inconsistent, but if able to repeat that performance he would probably go close.

Form: 43626-9

(4)

Limerick Lord^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46| D

7/1

Sole handicap win came at Southwell (1m) in 2015 when 14lb higher. Acts around here, though best AW form has been at Lingfield, Southwell and Wolverhampton. 2lb lower today than when beaten over 4L last time out and up against it.

Form: 5262-04

(2)

Queen Moon^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: A M Balding| OR: 45

14/1

Best of three AW runs was at Southwell (1m) in October, though still beaten almost 9L there. 9lb lower today after 21L defeat here over 1m2f last time. Good draw and if blinkers can help spark a revival then she is on a handy mark.

Form: 44534-0

Forecasts

Muthraab Aldaar (3/1), Touch The Clouds (7/2), Cadeaux Boxer (7/1), Limerick Lord (7/1), Dukes Meadow (8/1), Ok By Me (8/1), Rattle On (8/1), Queen Moon (14/1), Pack It In (33/1)

Not a lot of strength in depth here and Touch The Clouds again has to enter calculations after a win last time. Although this is stronger on paper, it doesn't look like taking much more winning, so he is entitled to be short-listed from 3lb higher. Dukes Meadow could have a big say if he can return to something like his best, while Queen Moon could benefit from the application of blinkers and a market check is suggested. However, RATTLE ON has the ability to win a race like this and if he can jump away better than he did here last time, then he is on a mark from which he might strike.
