Predict A Riot⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Edward Austin⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 102

7/1

Yet to win under Rules (won an Irish maiden point-to-point), but proved regressive for Dan Skelton. There was no indication a further change of scenery helped last time and he is best avoided for now.

Form: 447P-0P

American Life^t,v²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: William Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 102

5/1

His last win came almost two years ago and he has been second or third on six occasions since. Likely to be thereabouts again, but others are potentially better treated.

Form: P2-2233

Goodnight Charlie^v⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Andrews| T: C Fryer| OR: 100| C

10/1

Has won three times since the application of a visor, but two runs back from an absence has seen a deterioration in his form.

Form: 18-110P

Asking Questions^p,t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Turner| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 100

7/1

Winning point-to-pointer is much improved since the application of headgear. Got squeezed on the home turn last time and there is a weak race such as this there for the taking.

Form: 408263

The Draconian^p⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 99

10/1

Not much to shout about in novice/maiden hurdles. May do better now he is handicapping for his respected stable.

Form: 0/3-0850

Bohemian Rhapsody^p³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 97

13/2

Almost two years since his last win and three years since he last scored over hurdles. Has been placed in similar company off this weight so has each-way claims in a modest affair.

Form: 6063U3

Mr Mulliner^t⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr B Paris-Crofts⁽⁵⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 97

40/1

Out of sorts lately and a change of scenery does not appear to have helped too much judged on his last two runs.

Form: 5-P6PPP

Sahara Haze⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: P C Dando| OR: 92

10/1

Yet to win over hurdles and possibly flattered lately in some slowly run races. this term. Had her limitations exposed last time and the handicapper may need to cut her more slack.

Form: 3-94340

Max Dynamo^h⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: A J Wilson| OR: 87

6/1

Shaped well enough behind an in form rival in December to say he could take this. He struggled on softer ground next time and he could well bounce back under one of the more experienced riders in this.

Form: 34-0325

Phangio^b,t⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Ed Bailey⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 86| D

7/1

All of his five runs since he came back from a break have been very disappointing and he looks out of sorts at the moment.

Form: 0P6947

Annie'sboydave^b,t⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Donovan| T: P A Pritchard| OR: 70

20/1

15-race maiden shaped better last time but he still has plenty to find with Max Dynamo and is 4lb out of the handicap.

Form: P4PPP3

Non-Runners

That's Gonna Sting⁸⁵

Weight: 11-6| Age: 7

T: J Scott J: Tom Humphries

Forecasts

American Life (5/1), Max Dynamo (6/1), Bohemian Rhapsody (13/2), Phangio (7/1), Asking Questions (7/1), Predict A Riot (7/1), Sahara Haze (10/1), The Draconian (10/1), Goodnight Charlie (10/1), That's Gonna Sting (12/1), Annie'sboydave (20/1), Mr Mulliner (40/1)

MAX DYNAMO was unlucky to bump into the improving Triopas in December when posting his best effort over hurdles. He looks an out and out stayer who will appreciate this marathon trip and the better ground. Asking Questions is open to improvement and makes more appeal than his stable companion American Life, whilst Bohemian Rhapsody has made the frame in similar company and could reward each-way support.
