Disappointed twice since finishing a neck third over 7f at Wolverhampton in January. Interesting to see how he fares dropping in grade.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: R C Guest| OR: 55| C

Maraakib¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 55

12/1

Held in three starts since joining this yard from David O'Meara. Handicap mark is falling as a result and worth a check in the market dropping in grade.

Form: 65-4467

(3)

Almanack²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M Pattinson| OR: 55

14/1

Held in three starts since returning from a break. Now back down to his last winning mark but needs to improve on what he's shown of late.

Form: 1388-89

How's Lucy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Abbie Wibrew⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 51

5/1

Placed twice over C&D in December and ran well on his return from a break when a close fourth over 7f at Wolverhampton last time. Return to 1m should suit and she is one to note in this contest.

Form: 25633-4

Touch The Clouds³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Joshua Bryan| T: W Stone| OR: 51| CD

11/2

C&D winner in January but held here the following month and likely needs to improve if he's to register his eighth career success today.

Excellent World¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Lenka Helmecka⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 45

14/1

Stepping up in trip when finishing a fair fourth under today's rider over this trip at Lingfield last month. More needed if she's to figure in this contest however.

Form: 2544-54

Forecasts

Mr Potter (4/1), Dor's Law (5/1), How's Lucy (5/1), Touch The Clouds (11/2), Ok By Me (6/1), Kafoo (12/1), Maraakib (12/1), Rocket Ronnie (14/1), Almanack (14/1), Excellent World (14/1), Ember's Glow (25/1)

HOW'S LUCY is a maiden after 12 starts but put in her best effort so far when finishing a close fourth last time out and she can register her first victory in this contest. Top weight Dor's Law can register her third placed effort in succession while Maraakib can take advantage of his falling handicap mark by finishing third.
