Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 122

15/2

Returns to last winning mark but has been woefully out of form since scoring at Chepstow in October, pulling up in three of his last four starts. Should stay but hardly inspires confidence in current form.

Form: P-1P3PP

Petite Power^t⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120

7/2

Stayed on over similar trip at Market Rasen latest when ridden by lady amateur rider. Top jockey takes over here so has plenty going for him off 1lb lower mark.

Form: F44-455

Cyclop^p,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis| OR: 120| BF

6/1

4lb worse off with Petite Power having won at Market Rasen on Boxing Day when that horse finished a close fifth. Not disgraced in subsequent start at Wincanton and should be thereabouts.

Form: 24-8215

The Boss's Dream²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: T E Whelan| T: N B King| OR: 119

14/1

Won two bumpers in heavy ground in 2014 but hasn't looked in love with those conditions in recent seasons over fences, including when well beaten last time at Fakenham. Tumbling down the weights but needs to improve on recent efforts.

Form: 1P7/635

10/1

Beaten just a short-head in today's conditions at Utoxeter in November but showed little last time when well beaten at Plumpton in Sussex National. Top yard in good form at present though so any market move would be noteworthy.

Form: 7P-P229

Morney Wing^p,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 113

7/1

Won last year's Sussex National over similar trip but generally disappointing since then off higher marks. Definite sign of return to form at Fakenham last time though so rates a danger to all if in the mood.

Form: 3-U73R2

The Artful Cobbler²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: H D Daly| OR: 113

13/2

Bids for a hattrick after wins at Ludlow and Warwick, staying on particularly gamely at the latter track last month. 5lb high now but clearly in fine fettle and yard in good shape of late as well.

Form: U3P-311

Coolking^b⁴³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 111| C

5/1

Absolutely hacked up in this race 12 months ago scoring by 23 lengths! Also won following start but has struggled off higher marks since. Is 2-2 at this track however and despite being 5lb than last year has to rate a danger to all.

Form: 11P-PP7

Wood Yer^p,t³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Bargary⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 106

14/1

Fell when in touch at halfway at Chepstow last time but has mostly found life tough this term. Top jockey (5-7 on him) back in the saddle this time and races off a good mark, so not without hope.

Form: 3F-P45F

Lac Sacre⁴²

Age: 16| Weight: 10-4| J: Unknown| T: J L Flint

Form: P-P6632

Forecasts

Petite Power (7/2), Coolking (5/1), Cyclop (6/1), The Artful Cobbler (13/2), Morney Wing (7/1), Saint John Henry (15/2), Bears Rails (10/1), The Boss's Dream (14/1), Wood Yer (14/1)

COOLKING is unbeaten at this track and took this race last year so is rated value to maintain his Lingfield sequence. At a decent price, Wood Yer might prove a danger with Sam Twiston-Davies (5-7 on him) back on board and carrying bottom weight. The jockey booking also catches the eye for Petite Power (closely handicapped with Cyclop). The Artful Cobbler is in great form, and Bears Rails and Morney Wing also have claims in what could prove to be an exciting event.
