Choral Music²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J E Long| OR: 74| C| D

11/1

Followed up a Kempton win over this trip in October with a good fourth over the same C&D the following month. Only managed third of four over this C&D recently on return from short break and this is a deeper contest.

Form: 2414-83

The Warrior⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Jones| T: L Carter| OR: 73| CD

4/1

C&D winner in first-time blinkers in September for another yard (rated 73) but has yet to suggest another win is imminent in five starts for this trainer and remains opposable at the minute.

Form: 768-356

Bin Daahir³⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 71

16/1

Well beaten in four starts last year, including handicap bow over an extended-mile at Wolverhampton in May when last spotted. Dropped 2lb ahead of return and likely there is more to come before too long.

Form: 74/58-

Dark Alliance²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70| CD

9/2

Winner of a 7f claimer at Wolverhampton in January and twice run well there in handicaps since, well held this C&D earlier this month when Oisin Murphy replaced 5lb claimer and likely up against it again.

Form: 2-21444

Golden Guest⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 67| D

11/2

Kempton winner over this trip back in 2017, won on turf last summer and ran well over this C&D in September off a 5lb higher mark. May have needed last week's return at Newcastle, on a dangerous mark now if coming on for the run.

Form: 72780-4

33/1

Sole AW win came here over 6f all the way back in 2015. Scored a quick double in low-grade turf handicaps at Epsom last summer over this sort of trip, latest off this mark. Back from a break now and capable fresh.

C&D winner of apprentice contest in November, has been well held in three starts since that however and others arriving here with much stronger claims.

Forecasts

In The Red (9/4), The Warrior (4/1), Outside Inside (4/1), Dark Alliance (9/2), Golden Guest (11/2), Cuttin' Edge (11/2), Paco's Prince (6/1), Choral Music (11/1), Bin Daahir (16/1), Duke Of North (33/1)

OUTSIDE INSIDE was never going better than at the winning line when returned from a break last week at Newcastle. Mark Johnston's filly should be all the sharper for that run, has gone closer from higher marks on turf and should hold strong claims dropped in grade. Course winner In The Red is flying right now and can go well, while Golden Guest also rates as one that should have plenty more to say after a sharpener at Newcastle last week.
