Jazz Legend⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mirko Sanna| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 51| BF| CD

11/8

Front-runner who won over C&D in November, and at least matched that effort when ½L second of 10 to Pearl Acclaim here in January. Looks sure to go well once more, and leading claims in this line-up.

Form: 30516-2

Tellovoi^p⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR: 47| CD

11/10

Hard to win with, but this veteran is in good form, and has been placed on his last three starts at 6f-1m on Polytrack and Tapeta. Should give his running, and will be thereabouts.

Form: 07-6332

Pearl Noir^p³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Danny Brock| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| CD

12/1

Trailblazer who has been well held in four starts since scoring over 5f at Catterick in October. Handicap mark on the slide, but has a bit to prove.

Form: 21567-8

Thedevilinneville¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 52

8/1

Nearer last than first in three starts to date, and while he could do better now handicapping at a modest level, the percentage call is to oppose him off his opening mark.

Form: 458

Tellovoi (11/10), Jazz Legend (11/8), Thedevilinneville (8/1), Pearl Noir (12/1), Coiste Bodhar (16/1)

JAZZ LEGEND is a little more reliable than Tellovoi these days, and gets the vote after another solid effort over C&D last time. The latter is running well enough at present to suggest he's the only serious danger, although Pearl Noir is on a fair mark if bouncing back from a few moderate efforts.
