17/2

Will find this a bit easier than some of the tasks he's been asked to do this season, and his third over C&D here in January would put him in the firing line. Needs to put a poor effort last time behind him but not out of this if he can.

Hit The Highway²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 118

3/1

Useful front runner at his peak but recent efforts have left plenty to be desired and he gave up the ghost a bit too quickly for comfort last time. In current frame of mind, hard to fancy.

16/1

Was going nowhere quickly until a much improved effort at Bangor last time where he was second to a fast-improving one, clocking a good speed figure in the process. Likely to do better again and chances on handicap debut here.

16/1

Lightly raced, goes into handicaps on a fair mark if his second to the useful ahead Of The Curve at Uttoxeter last July is to be believed. Poor effort latest though, and despite the fact he may have needed that, is passed over.

14/1

Found a weak race at Uttoxeter last summer to get off the mark over hurdles (well backed) but still looks on a mark that's a bit too high on his latest effort at Ascot. Short break may help so not totally ruled out, but needs more.

12/1

Has some good form as a novice hurdler to his name but not seen out since April 2016 and despite the presence of first time cheekpieces as well, is best watched after such an absence.

Ding Ding¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 110

18/1

Game little mare that tries her hardest and again put in another good effort at her beloved Plumpton on latest start. Form away from there less good, however, and was well beaten here in December. Wait for a return to Plumpton is the advice.

Had looked to be heading in the right direction before pulling his chance away behind the useful Distingo last time out at Plumpton and was well beaten. This mark looks high enough and others are preferred.

Roll Of The Dice³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 107

12/1

Early promise seems to have evaporated away and he was a well beaten last of five over C&D last time out. Goes into handicaps today, which may help, but hard to fancy after such a lacklustre effort.

Form: 450705

Quiz Master^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 107

4/1

Exposed as moderate already but is at least capable at this level and ran perfectly well to finish a close third last time out. Drying ground a help, has form over C&D and should at least run his race again.

Form: 442253

Bold Image⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 105| C

33/1

Bumper winner here back in 2016 and lightly raced since, but hasn't shown enough recently to suggest she's well handicapped on this mark. Only of interest if the money comes.

Form: 1-767

Tzar De L'Elfe⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe| OR: 103

8/1

Looks on a fair mark if he can rekindle old glories, and latest third at Plumpton a step back in the right direction. Handicapper thought so too, putting him up 4lb, but this extra distance a help and he looks one of the more likely ones.

Form: P74-3F3

50/1

Well into the veteran stage now, wins are few and far between but does pop up when conditions are particularly testing. On that, drying ground here no help and likely to need this after an absence.

50/1

With a top yard but has shown next to nothing so far and mark already falling quickly.. Hopes are pinned on wind surgery that she's had since last being seen, so worth a glance in the market if nothing else.

Forecasts

Hit The Highway (3/1), Quiz Master (4/1), Canyouringmeback (7/1), Tzar De L'Elfe (8/1), I See You Well (17/2), Robinsson (12/1), Roll Of The Dice (12/1), Burst Ya Bubble (14/1), Cintex (16/1), Duke Of Kilcorral (16/1), Ding Ding (18/1), Bold Image (33/1), Gi Jayne (50/1), Join The Navy (50/1)

Not many of these have a solid profile coming into this and it looks up for grabs. Quiz Master looks the one for placepots as he seems to run his race more often than not, but tends to find something to beat him. On that, TZAR DE L'ELFE is given a try after a step back in the right direction at Plumpton last time. That was a competitive race for the grade and if anything, this might be a little easier. Both Bold Image and G I Jayne require a market check.
