Poyle Vinnie⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 82| D

4/1

Without a win in more than two years but runner-up on all three visits here which have come in better company. Closely matched with Bosham on running here last May and well-drawn, but stable are going through a quiet patch.

Form: 93550-6

Zac Brown^t²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 82| CD

6/1

Goes well here and for this rider but probably at his best over 6f. Looks held by Bosham and Poyle Vinnie on last season's form and he has not been at his best lately.

Form: 734-664

(7)

Dynamo Walt^v⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 82| CD

14/1

Seven-time C&D winner who tends to win in his turn. Threatening to return to form of late and has slipped below his last winning mark. Will relish the predicted strong pace and has good each-way claims.

Form: 37-9428

(11)

Drakefell^b⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 77| D

9/2

Claimed out of Richard Hannon's yard and made an immediate return on the investment at Lingfield last week. Will not get such an easy lead this time and taking on much stronger company.

Form: 7-63411

(5)

Captain Lars^b⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 81| CD

5/1

Has finished behind Drakefell on his last two starts although he did burst a blood vessel on the first occasion. Weighted to turn the tables after last week's run but overall this is a much tougher race.

Form: 371533

Another Angel²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| D

8/1

All six wins have come on Tapeta and he is yet to run on Polytrack. Recorded an impressive time at Newcastle last month and this progressive individual is tactically versatile. This is another step up but he is hard to dismiss.

Form: 141331

(3)

Bosham^b,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| CD

10/1

Has all the stats having a 6-17 record here (2-3 in similar grade), nine of his last ten wins have come at this trip and he is 2-3 in the month of April (beaten ½L in the other). Will strip fitter for last month's comeback and capable of making all.

Form: 24704-7

(2)

You're Cool^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding| OR: 79| CD

7/1

Has a 3-11 record here and has been placed on a further four occasions. Better drawn than on last month's visit but others have stronger claims.

Form: 131-756

(4)

Equimou⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 79| CD

12/1

Took advantage of a career low mark to gain an overdue win in October and this C&D arrives here off an even lower rating. However, she is yet to make the frame under today's booked rider and stronger handling has helped her in the past.

Form: 60590-8

(8)

Arzaak^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 78| D

20/1

Has won his last two when dropping to today's mark but he has not been at his best on either start for his new yard. This is a hot race for the grade and the prospect of a strong pace means he will need to break better than has been the case lately.

Form: 6861-66

Forecasts

Poyle Vinnie (4/1), Drakefell (9/2), Captain Lars (5/1), Zac Brown (6/1), Cowboy Soldier (6/1), You're Cool (7/1), Another Angel (8/1), Bosham (10/1), Equimou (12/1), Dynamo Walt (14/1), Arzaak (20/1), Kodiac Express (20/1)

With the likes of You're Cool, Drakefell, Zac Brown and Bosham in the lineup there is every likelihood of a lively pace which may set this up for the likes of Dynamo Walt or COWBOY SOLDIER who both need to be delivered late. The latter has been gelded since his last run and won on his reappearance last year. He is in a yard renowned for it's sprinters and is held in high regard there. If the vet's intervention has taken him closer to his trainer's evaluation then he would take some beating off this mark. Another Angel clocked a good time at Newcastle and, if as effective here, this progressive sort would have to rate a big danger.
