Reshaan¹²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 64

25/1

Sold out of Richard Hannon's yard and gelded since last seen in the autumn. Didn't seem to stay 1m when tried so has stamina to prove at this trip.

Form: 903850-

Anif¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: E J Walsh| T: P D Evans| OR: 63| CD

11/4

Two out of three since joining current stable including when showing good attitude in a claimer over C&D last time. More to do back now in handicap company but is in good heart.

Form: 0661-61

Duchess Of Avon²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62

16/1

Still a maiden after seven starts and similar level of form since joining Gary Moore. Hopes rest on step up in trip bringing the required improvement.

Form: 57254-5

Destinys Rock²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62| BF| CD

10/1

Generally consistent filly though ruined her chance by pulling too hard on latest. Better than she showed there and does have plenty of course form.

Form: 3813-49

(2)

Doctor Wonderful²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 62

12/1

Bought from Clive Cox for just £800 in November. Shaped quite well on debut for this yard recently and dropped another 3lb. Trainer among the winners and interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 95859-6

Kilbaha Lady⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: N Tinkler| OR: 61

15/2

5L fifth of 14 at Chelmsford last week though would have been closer but for been hampered in the straight. That proves she is in decent form and one of the likelier types here.

Form: 25440-5

(13)

Vincent's Forever⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 61

66/1

Regressive with previous trainer and sold for just £1,300 in November. Broke a blood vessel on hurdling debut for current yard and plenty to prove at present.

Form: 053888-

Duke Of Alba³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: J Mackie| OR: 58

7/4

Best run for this stable was on latest when seemingly suited by the step up to this trip and first run on surface. Was nibbled at in the market that day and wouldn't need much improvement to be competitive here.

Form: 5934-63

(9)

Citta D'Oro^p1¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: J W Unett| OR: 57

28/1

Lightly raced but very modest form and needs this marked drop in trip and first time cheek pieces to bring about lots of improvement.

Form: 50400-

(7)

Blue Candy^h1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 57

50/1

Has only beaten one rival in last three starts. Hood now replaces cheek pieces but not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 527/0-89

(12)

Zarkavon²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-3| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 46

18/1

Off the track since August but belied odds of 150/1 when just failing to reel in winner over 1f shorter here last time. If she can build on that she should figure though that was a big step forward.

Form: 44000-2

(8)

Clive Clifton^p1²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 45

9/1

Disappointing effort last time and even the pick of his efforts in the last year give him something to find. Cheek pieces tried now.

Form: 84/9-579

Forecasts

Duke Of Alba (7/4), Anif (11/4), Kilbaha Lady (15/2), Clive Clifton (9/1), Destinys Rock (10/1), Doctor Wonderful (12/1), Duchess Of Avon (16/1), Pecheurs De Perles (16/1), Zarkavon (18/1), Reshaan (25/1), Citta D'Oro (28/1), Blue Candy (50/1), Vincent's Forever (66/1)

KILBAHA LADY showed enough at Chelmsford last week to suggest she could go close in this low grade and she gets the vote ahead of Duke Of Alba. Doctor Wonderful wasn't disgraced on first run for this yard and is worth a second look in the market.
