Captain Kissinger^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 50

10/1

Maiden on the Flat but caused a big upset when winning at odds of 50/1 on hurdles debut at Ludlow, in October. That hasn't been the start of a renaissance, however, and he's been back in his shell since. Visored now.

Form: 0453-07

Cristal Pallas Cat^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 50

5/1

Winner over 7f at Kempton last December, but losing run now stretches over a year and needs to find significant progress based on last five completed starts. Unseated rider early last time.

Form: 45556-U

(12)

Dawn Commando^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 48

6/1

Showed little on early outings, but a bit more to take from his latest seventh at Kempton, keeping on in a bunched finish when running out of room. May well do better.

Form: 6060-07

(3)

Demons And Wizards⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 48

33/1

Yet to rediscover his juvenile form, and no sign of a revival starting out for current yard at Kempton last month.

Form: 09069-0

(5)

Emigrated^t,v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 46

25/1

Gained two wins at Wolverhampton last March, but has presumably had his problems more recently (has had wind surgery) and hard to warm to him after being beaten a long way at that track subsequently.

Form: 11400-9

(13)

Imperial Act^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 45

14/1

Ran badly here on penultimate outing, but caught the eye at Wolverhampton last time, when stopped in her run having made good headway. One to consider.

Form: 4507-05

Irish Times²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 49

5/1

Lightly raced, and produced much his best effort when 1¾L second of 13 to Miss Bates in a 1m handicap at Newcastle last month. Sure to go well if he can repeat that performance.

Form: 9/9440-2

(7)

Kellington Kitty¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 48

11/1

Showed some promise on debut in October, but patchy form since, albeit not disgraced on her last two starts, and hard to rule her out in this weak affair.

Form: 5850-47

(8)

Pass The Cristal³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 44| CD

12/1

Has won in better company over C&D in the past, and while he's been out of form for some time, he was better than the result here last time, and won't find many better openings.

Form: 80000-8

(10)

Red Cossack¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: D K Ivory| OR: 47| BF

9/2

Lifetime record of 1-33 tells its own story, although he manages to look better than the bare result more often than not in his races. Claims on recent efforts, but no surprise to see a couple too good again.

Form: 0/85-563

(11)

Satchville Flyer¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: P D Evans| OR: 50| C

5/1

Has done most of his winning over 5f-6f, but stayed well enough when runner-up over C&D last month. Better than the bare result last time, and won't be far away if giving his running again.

Form: 0706-26

(9)

Tabla³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Jones| T: L Carter| OR: 50| D

50/1

Placed over 7f here a year ago, but lightly raced and has offered little subsequently.

Form: 68380-0

Forecasts

Red Cossack (9/2), Irish Times (5/1), Cristal Pallas Cat (5/1), Satchville Flyer (5/1), Dawn Commando (6/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (8/1), Captain Kissinger (10/1), Kellington Kitty (11/1), Pass The Cristal (12/1), Imperial Act (14/1), Emigrated (25/1), Demons And Wizards (33/1), Tabla (50/1)

IRISH TIMES improved last time when runner-up at Newcastle, and with scope for further progress, he makes most appeal. Imperial Act was unlucky last time, and is one to consider while the frustrating Red Cossack and Slipalongtrevaskis are others with claims on recent form.
