Carpet Time⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: T D Barron| OR: 60| C

5/1

Best form has come at this track and well drawn, however proving inconsistent and last run in January was disappointing. Others preferred.

Form: 2670-20

Terri Rules^h1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 60

28/1

Now 1lb lower than last of four career wins but all have come at shorter and hard to fancy over this distance from a wide draw.

Form: U1758-4

Haader^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 57

16/1

Maiden has failed to build on early promise for Owen Burrows in five starts for his latest trainer. Good draw and gets a welcome drop in class and 5lb drop in the weights but more still needed.

Form: 9-66307

Brockey Rise^b³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P D Evans| OR: 56| CD

5/1

Has previously won off 2lb higher over this C&D and twice a winner here, however needs to leave a poor run last month behind. Jockey booking a plus.

Form: 611538

Billyoakes^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: C Wallis| OR: 54| C| D

5/1

Winner over 5f here but better suited by this distance. On a good mark at 3lb lower than last win but very disappointing the last twice. Others look more reliable.

Form: 6-45580

Mad Endeavour^b²⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: W S Kittow| OR: 53| CD

10/1

On a long losing run stretching back to May 2017 despite falling mark. First run since September but has a strong record fresh so not without hope from a good draw.

Form: 4/27957-

Wild Flower¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: J C Fox| OR: 51| D

11/2

An infrequent winner and now 5lb lower than last success in November 2017. Went close over this C&D last month and respected but will have to do plenty early to lead from a wide draw.

Form: 47627-3

Swendab^b,h⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 49| C| D

18/1

Front-running veteran has a favourable draw following a back to form effort at Chelmsford. Has fallen to an attractive mark, however better suited by the minimum trip.

Form: 390-973

(7)

Admiral Rooke^b²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 48| BF

5/1

Remains a maiden following 25 starts and has proved inconsistent for his latest stable. Given a chance by the handicapper but hard to rely on.

Form: 020606

(5)

Soldier Blue^b1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: B Ellison| OR: 48

6/1

14-race maiden now tried in first-time blinkers. Unsuited by a slow pace up front at Chelmsford latest and should get race run more to suit here. Dropping to a very favourable mark and should go close.

Form: 772-485

Forecasts

Brockey Rise (5/1), Admiral Rooke (5/1), Billyoakes (5/1), Carpet Time (5/1), Wild Flower (11/2), Soldier Blue (6/1), Fantasy Justifier (13/2), Dream Ally (8/1), Mad Endeavour (10/1), Haader (16/1), Swendab (18/1), Whirl Me Round (25/1), Terri Rules (28/1)

SOLDIER BLUE will need everything to fall right for a breakthrough success but there's plenty of pace on offer and the race should be run to suit his hold-up style. There's not a lot of depth as would be expected in this grade so despite a poor draw Wild Flower should be competitive over a C&D that suits. Dream Ally is proving hard to predict but is respected from a good stall at his favourite track.
