(1)

Zapper Cass^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| CD

5/2

Holding his form well despite the handicapper's efforts and he's now won three of his last five. Young rider has an excellent record for this yard and a plum draw helps too.

Form: 211314

(4)

The Establishment^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: P D Evans| OR: 70| C

12/1

In good form at the start of the year but poor on his last three. Goes well here but looking a risky investment at present.

Form: 751090

(3)

Big Time Maybe^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 70| CD

6/1

Landed a weaker race than this last time having got into a good rhythm up front. Does not have to lead and he has responded well in two runs for this young rider. Has form off higher marks and stable have had a couple of winners in the last week.

Form: 8-43231

(10)

Cappananty Con¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 70| C

13/2

Has been a bit inconsistent lately but two of his three wins have come over 6f here. Effective at this shorter trip and due a good run.

Form: 09-2536

Rockies Spirit^t1⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: D P Quinn| OR: 70| CD

25/1

Took advantage of a career low mark for a C&D success in November. Well held since but back down to that last winning mark.

Form: 3417-70

(7)

Poeta Brasileiro²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: S Durack| OR: 68| C

5/1

Showed plenty of speed to make all and land two races over 6f during the winter. Entitled to improve on his first two starts for this yard following a break and having received a little help from the handicapper.

Form: 6311-44

(2)

Boundsy¹⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| D

9/2

Had a good 2017 which included three turf wins over 5f/6f but not in anywhere near the same form in 2018. Off since October and he has previously needed a run.

Form: 090679-

(6)

Lexington Place¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 59| D

10/1

Veteran of 75 races but only five on AW tracks. Finished a close fourth over C&D in October when not getting a clear run so he handles the surface. His mark has dropped below 60 for the first time and he's usually backed ahead of a big run.

Form: 85734-5

(11)

David's Beauty^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 58| D

66/1

Won twice on turf last summer and ran a whole host of good races in defeat also. Looks high enough in the weights for now and her record here is 0-15.

Form: 22172-6

(5)

Always Amazing³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 57| C

16/1

C&D maiden winner on debut for Robert Cowell in June 2017; 0-14 since and too inconsistent to predict. Others arrive in better form and with stronger claims.

Form: 299385

Super Julius¹⁴

Weight: 8-10| Age: 5

T: S Donohoe J: J Fanning

Forecasts

Zapper Cass (5/2), Boundsy (9/2), Poeta Brasileiro (5/1), Big Time Maybe (6/1), Cappananty Con (13/2), Super Julius (8/1), Lexington Place (10/1), The Establishment (12/1), Always Amazing (16/1), Rockies Spirit (25/1), David's Beauty (66/1)

Poeta Brasilieiro promises a good gallop and looks ready to land one soon now that he is down to a more favourable mark. However, he may just set this up for the in-form ZAPPER CASS who likes to come off a strong gallop and who goes well for this 7lb claimer. Lexington Place and Irish challenger Super Julius are attractively weighted, whilst Cappananty Con returns to this venue for the first time since a C&D success in July 2017 and, although inconsistent, he is due to turn in a big run.
