(1)

Markhan^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott| OR: 82| C

6/4

One win from nine at the track but has been running well in defeat of late beaten in a couple of tight finishes since the turn of the year. Likely more to come for respected connections.

Form: 7213-22

(7)

Dalileo⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 84| D

2/1

Solid enough 80-rated handicapper for trainer Mark Johnston winner of his final two starts on the AW at Wolverhampton and Kempton for the yard. Worth a market check on stable debut.

Form: 13781-1

(5)

All's Quiet^t⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr T McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 75| CD

4/1

Followed up an encouraging run here in December when winning over C&D in January off a 6lb lower mark. One of the more likely types in this contest.

Form: 06592-1

(4)

City Limits¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 69

6/1

A maiden on the Flat during his time with Luca Cumani, more recently seen over hurdles since the turn of the year. Unlikely to get off the mark at the ninth time of asking.

Form: 75575/

(2)

Fern Owl¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr C M Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 68| D

33/1

Recently seen over hurdles and well beaten in three starts here since the turn of the year including finishing last of eight over C&D in January. Out of sorts lately and this looks a tough ask.

Form: 13/0-877

(3)

Poitin¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss H Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: K H Clarke| OR: 62| C| D

25/1

Course winner who has also won over this trip. Winner of five of his 32 visits here and has recently been seen struggling at this venue over 1m4f. Others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 09077-7

(6)

Balgowlah^p1⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: C A McBratney| OR: 60

20/1

11-race maiden without success in five starts on the AW for trainer David Lanigan. Hurdling recently and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 88/7797-

Forecasts

Markhan (6/4), Dalileo (2/1), All's Quiet (4/1), City Limits (6/1), Balgowlah (20/1), Poitin (25/1), Fern Owl (33/1)

Trainer Gordon Elliott appears to have found an ideal opening for his Birdstone gelding MARKHAN to get back to winning ways by landing the closing race of the evening here. The six-year-old has been running well in defeat since the turn of the year and can get the better of C&D winner in January, All's Quiet who can emerge as the biggest danger.
