Spark Plug^p⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: B J Meehan| OR: 107| C

3/1

Capable performer who ran right up to his best to score over 1m4f in Listed company at this track in December. Has stamina to prove over this longer trip, but is a player if he stays.

Form: 372751-

Grey Britain¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: J Ryan| OR: 106| D

7/4

Scoring for the second successive occasion when proving his stamina for this trip at Lingfield last time. Beat Watersmeet there, seems to be on the upgrade and is firmly in the mix.

Form: 14031-1

Higher Power⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 105| CD

9/2

Beaten 1L by Watersmeet over C&D in November and subsequent third at Newcastle was a sound effort. Should be on the premises again.

Form: 820023-

(4)

Redicean²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 97| BF| D

10/1

Talented hurdler who has been running with credit over 1m4f on the AW. Stamina to prove over this longer trip, but has a turn of foot which could prove valuable if they dawdle.

Form: 61/911-4

(2)

Stamford Raffles²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84| D

25/1

Returning from a break when finishing second of four over 1m6f at Chelmsford. Should improve for the run, but has a lot to do on these terms.

Form: 00/009-2

(3)

Watersmeet¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 103| CD

4/1

Tough stayer who can be relied on to run his race and is quite closely matched with Grey Britain and Higher Power. Will expose any chinks in his rivals' armour.

Form: 0414-32

Forecasts

Grey Britain (7/4), Spark Plug (3/1), Watersmeet (4/1), Higher Power (9/2), Redicean (10/1), Stamford Raffles (25/1)

Watersmeet is an admirable sort who looks sure to give another bold show, but GREY BRITAIN got the better of him at Lingfield last time and this progressive sort may repeat the act. Higher Power should be thereabouts, too, while Spark Plug and Redicean will be able to deploy their finishing pace if they don't go too quickly up front.
