Cloud Nine^b³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 40

33/1

No wins in 19 starts and latest race at Chelmsford saw her finish last of nine in a low-grade handicap. Hard to see her making an impact on these terms.

Form: 76644-9

(7)

Embankment¹⁰²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 46| C

40/1

Winner of five races who is approaching the twilight of his racing career. Good third in a handicap at this venue two starts ago showed the fire still burns, however.

Form: 070039-

Gorham's Cave^h⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Stronge| OR: 50

9/1

Creditable third over C&D in January, but not so good at this track last time. Remains a maiden after 12 races, but has a fighting chance of ending that state of affairs in a weak contest.

Form: 6896-28

(1)

Greenview Paradise¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: J Scott| OR: 48

9/2

Maiden after 21 starts on the Flat and last racecourse appearance saw her finish tailed off in a Kempton novice hurdle in November. Bits of her placed form on the level give her each-way prospects, but her overall profile is not convincing.

Form: 763625-

Muraaqeb^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: J M Bradley| OR: 46

14/1

Landed a similar contest over 1m½f at Wolverhampton last month, but was well held in a handicap at the same venue last time. Has come up short on previous attempts at this trip.

Form: 060-717

(3)

Onda District⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 40

25/1

Tailed-off last of 12 over this distance at Wolverhampton in January. Previous fourth at Newcastle was a much better effort, but more is needed against a few of these rivals.

Form: 3898-40

(4)

Ronni Layne^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: L Allan| OR: 45

50/1

Maiden after 28 attempts and has been well beaten in three starts after finishing a head second in a Chelmsford handicap last August. Needs to find earlier spark upped in trip.

Form: 34200-0

(5)

Schindlers Ark³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 45

9/1

Maiden hurdle winner for top Irish trainer Gordon Elliott and has not been disgraced in two Flat races over further than this since joining current handler. Not out of it at these weights.

Form: 8004-94

(8)

Cottingham⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: K Frost| OR: 49

11/2

Arguably best effort in nine runs when third of 13 in a similar contest over 1m1½f at Wolverhampton in January. Has stamina to prove over this longer distance, but has prospects if he stays.

Form: 84558-3

(2)

Harry Callahan^v³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 50

5/4

Broke his duck at the 11th time of asking when winning a Chelmsford classified contest last month. Comes into this race in good heart and has every chance at the weights.

Form: 07-7231

(10)

Invisible Shadow^p1⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: A M Hales| OR: 39

66/1

Moderate performer for Richard Spencer and now starts out for a new trainer in first-time cheekpieces which need to have a galvanising effect if he is to land a blow.

Form: 8988-0

Forecasts

Harry Callahan (5/4), Greenview Paradise (9/2), Cottingham (11/2), Schindlers Ark (9/1), Gorham's Cave (9/1), Muraaqeb (14/1), Onda District (25/1), Cloud Nine (33/1), Embankment (40/1), Ronni Layne (50/1), Invisible Shadow (66/1)

Several of these are not difficult to oppose, but the glaring exception is HARRY CALLAHAN, who has been quite consistent and got off the mark at Chelmsford last time. He should be hard to beat at these weights and can see off Gorham's Cave and Cottingham. Schindlers Ark and Embankment are others to consider.
