Deer Song^b⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Jones| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45| CD

10/1

Only second win in 54 starts when scoring over C&D eight days ago. Turned out under a penalty, but profile suggests he will do well to follow up that success.

Form: 62897-1

(12)

Mr Potter^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR: 50| D

20/1

Fair effort over 7f at this venue last month, but not up to that level of form at Chelmsford earlier this month. Last win came over this shorter distance in October, but he remains 4lb higher than for that victory.

Form: 12533-0

Dalness Express^p,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: F Sweeney| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 49| CD

7/1

Fair effort when fifth of 10 at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Only success came over this distance off 4lb lower, but record of 1-20 is rather offputting.

Form: 543B0-5

Storm Lightning⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: E J Walsh| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 47| CD

6/1

Has raced at Wolverhampton on last six starts and has generally performed with credit. Scored over this C&D in October and has obvious claims off 1lb lower.

Form: 6474-55

(7)

Slipalongtrevaskis^e/s³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling| OR: 47| BF

6/1

Remains a maiden after 16 starts, but has been knocking on the door recently, latterly in first-time eyeshields which are retained. Will surely get his head in front at some stage.

Form: 244234-

Brother In Arms^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47| CD

14/1

One win in 22 starts and finished some way behind Deer Song over C&D last time. Bit to find off the same mark.

Form: 0546-39

Stopdworldnletmeof¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: D Flood| OR: 46

18/1

Series of solid placed efforts before finishing last of six in quite a strong claimer at Lingfield recently. Entiled to plenty of respect back in handicap company.

Form: 42322-6

(4)

Kyllukey^t¹¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C Wallis| OR: 46| D

7/2

On a huge losing streak and has joined his current trainer from Milton Bradley's yard. First run for this stable following a break.

Form: 778674-

Elliot The Dragon⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

7/1

Third of 11 over C&D five days ago and is turned out quickly off the same mark. Remains a maiden after 12 starts, but has sound prospects in an open race.

Form: 07086-3

Alligator¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

15/2

Maiden after 21 starts, but is not devoid of ability. Fourth of 10 on Fibresand on most recent start and competes off the same rating.

Form: 86963-4

Forecasts

Kyllukey (7/2), Storm Lightning (6/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (6/1), Krazy Paving (6/1), Dodgy Bob (6/1), Elliot The Dragon (7/1), Dalness Express (7/1), Alligator (15/2), Deer Song (10/1), Brother In Arms (14/1), Stopdworldnletmeof (18/1), Mr Potter (20/1)

Despite his advancing years, Storm Lightning has plenty going for him. He is respected along with the likes of Dodgy Bob, Slipalongtrevaskis and Stopdworldnletmeof. However, this may be the day when ELLIOT THE DRAGON finally get his head in front. He ran well to be third off this mark five days ago and is turned out again quickly, presumably in the expectation of another bold show.
