Harry Beau^v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: P D Evans| OR: 61

7/2

Without a win after 15 runs, but suggested that may soon change when finishing a close second in a first-time visor at Chelmsford on latest outing. Headgear is retained and he has to be considered off 2lb higher back on turf.

Form: 2508-52

Limerick Lord^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 57| D

7/2

In good heart with wins on the Southwell Fibresand on last two starts. Reverts to turf with a record of 0-16, so has something to prove.

Form: 2-04811

Prince Jai^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54| D

7/1

Dual winner on the AW, but is 0-4 on turf. Reverts to grass for the first time since he finished last of 13 at Nottingham last July.

Form: 727-628

Sea Tea Dea¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 50| D

6/1

Behind Higgy's Heartbeat when fifth at Chelmsford last time. Has not been in the best of form on the AW, so interesting to see if this switch back to turf sparks a revival for last year's winning stable.

Form: 06-8575

Joyful Dream^v²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 49

9/1

Fourth on last three starts on AW tracks so in fair heart for this return to turf racing. She is 4lb lower than when last seen on grass and has each-way claims.

Form: 37-0444

Indus Valley^b⁹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 8-8| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 47| CD

33/1

Veteran who is a C&D winner but has not been successful since scoring at this track in July, 2016. Looks up against it despite his reduced rating.

Form: 56970-9

Live Dangerously^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 46| CD

11/2

On quite a long, losing run, but did get his head in front over C&D in June, last year. and has shown his best form at this venue. Handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 9lb since his last run on turf in October.

Form: 3050-99

Lutine Charlie¹³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: Emma Owen| OR: 45| CD

16/1

Running respectably when last seen out on the AW at the back end of 2017. Won over C&D and generally produced a decent level of form at this venue last year and is considered on return to action.

Ettie Hart⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: F Norton| T: M R Channon| OR: 45| CD

7/1

Only one win in 15 starts on turf, but that came over C&D in June, 2016. Has dropped to a dangerous mark, goes on the ground and jockey booking suggests a bold show is on the cards for in-form yard.

Form: 3059-06

Forecasts

Harry Beau (7/2), Limerick Lord (7/2), Live Dangerously (11/2), Sea Tea Dea (6/1), Ettie Hart (7/1), Prince Jai (7/1), Yogiyogiyogi (8/1), Joyful Dream (9/1), Higgy's Heartbeat (10/1), Violet's Lads (12/1), Lutine Charlie (16/1), Hidden Stash (16/1), Corporal Maddox (25/1), Indus Valley (33/1)

Several of these enjoy the vagaries of this track, including veterans Lutine Charlie and Corporal Maddox, but it is another C&D winner, ETTIE HART, who catches the eye. She has dropped to a very lenient mark, hails from a yard in fine form and has the assistance of one of the best lightweights around. She can overcome her outside draw at the chief expense of another well handicapped horse in Live Dangerously, while cases can also be made for Harry Beau, Hidden Stash, Joyful Dream and Higgy's Heartbeat.
