Espresso Freddo^p¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: L P Keniry| T: R Stephens| OR: 78

Victorious in a 7f handicap at Chelmsford in January. Placed subsequently but absent since finishing fourth over this distance at Wolverhampton the following month.

Field of Vision^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 75| CD

7/4

In good form of late and was a C&D winner on good ground last time out. Races off a 3lb higher mark here and is likely to run well once more.

Form: 027221

Sir Billy Wright²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| C| D

3/1

Admirable performer returned to form when finishing 1L second at Ffos Las (6f, good) at the start of this month. Claims off a 1lb higher mark.

Form: 64-8802

(8)

Just An Idea^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 71| CD

5/1

Registered a first handicap success when winning over C&D on good-to-soft ground recently. Has to defy a 4lb rise if he's to follow up in this contest.

Form: 0-05481

Kinglami^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 71| CD

10/1

Couple of decent efforts including a ½L third over C&D earlier this month. Disappointed last time and looking for a third C&D win of the season.

Form: 517347

(3)

Somewhere Secret^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 69

4/1

Returned to form when placed the last twice. Most recent of those came when second to Field Of Vision over C&D on good ground and he is of interest off a 1lb higher mark.

Form: 0-88032

(7)

Major Valentine¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Kate Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 63| BF| D

22/1

Finished a close fourth over C&D on good ground on his penultimate start. Drop in trip against him at Nottingham (good-to-soft) subsequently and 7lb claimer returns to the saddle.

Forecasts

Field of Vision (7/4), Sir Billy Wright (3/1), Somewhere Secret (4/1), Just An Idea (5/1), Kinglami (10/1), Satchville Flyer (14/1), Espresso Freddo (20/1), Major Valentine (22/1)

SIR BILLY WRIGHT returned to form when second earlier this month and he can go one better by taking this opening handicap. The selection has forecast underfoot conditions so suit and he can get the better of Just An Idea who was a winner here recently. Third place can go the way of Field Of Vision who is another to have won at this venue last time.
