Knockout Blow³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75

Well fended off here over 5f last month, goes up in trip now and may again find that a few of these are better equipped.

Winner of C&D novice event in November, not disgraced last month on return from a break here over 5f. Open to doing better in handicaps and goes on shortlist back over 6f.

Gangland¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

4/1

Never a factor at Bath (5f, good) recently on return from a break, appearing as if in need of the outing. Not without a hope up in trip over a C&D where he's run well before.

Related to plenty winners and off the mark over 7f at Kempton in January on second outing after being gelded. Down in trip and should be in the finish.

Sent off favourite on return to action at Ripon (6f, soft) recently, didn't get the clearest run and finished well held. Rated 2lb lower now making AW debut.

Form: 33200-6

Tember¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 64

12/1

Money was down on return from a layoff at Ripon (6f, soft) last month but ran a poor race. Reverts to the AW needing a bounce back.

Form: 26308-9

(2)

Moonlit Sands¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 63

33/1

First start since having wind surgery came at Ripon (6f, soft) last month. Unfancied in the market and beaten just under 9L. Improvement demanded here.

Form: 55340-5

Forecasts

Gowanbuster (7/2), Gangland (4/1), Charles Fox (5/1), Knockout Blow (13/2), Snaffled (7/1), Havana Star (9/1), Tember (12/1), Citron Major (16/1), Moonlit Sands (33/1)

SNAFFLED produced his best effort to date when scoring over C&D in February, he's deemed a likely improver again and is capable of the follow up. Charles Fox seems the chief threat, having come from the off the pace to win over 7f at Kempton when last spotted. Gowanbuster and Gangland have chances of getting in the shake-up.
