Oliver Hardy^t³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 62

8/1

Best of his three runs came here on his first run following a wind op. Poor last time when asked to make the running and now makes handicap debut over a new trip with the pedigree indicating some risk.

Form: 7-40

(8)

Another Reason¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: O Murphy| OR: 61

5/2

Showed significant improvement for stepping up to 1m4f here 11 days ago. Only beaten a neck and finished clear of the third. Up 4lb but still rates one of the main contenders now dropping in class.

Form: 866-72

(7)

Tails I Win^h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 59

25/1

Ran well here at the turn of the year before returning to the sidelines. Poor on return here a week ago and doubts based on pedigree that she will stay this far.

Form: 507-530

(9)

Gabrial The Giant³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: P Morris| OR: 58

14/1

Dam stayed 2m so every chance there will be better to come stepping up another 3f here. Has an awkward head carriage and he has been sent to a yard that straightens out the owner's more wayward types. One to check in the market.

Form: 488-974

(1)

Enyama²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 57

50/1

Cheap Camelot filly makes her handicap debut having shown little in three runs at Lingfield. Stable have had a couple of winners in the last week, but still hard to see her winning.

Form: 865

(3)

Willkommen^b⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 55

28/1

Third in a bad race run in a slow time here in January. Had his limitations exposed since and now tackles a new trip.

Form: 866-39

(11)

Rich Cummins²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 55

7/2

Handicap mark looks about right judged on his 7L defeat by a stable companion on first run over this trip. A gelding operation has been beneficial and it is now a question of whether he can improve for that run.

Form: 090-2

(10)

Lady Wolf^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: B R Millman| OR: 51

14/1

Got up late to land a bad race at Chelmsford over 1m2f. Not disgraced since off higher marks and the handicapper has given her a chance here. Bred to stay this far and very much in the mix for another poor contest.

Form: 86-5174

(5)

Munstead Moonshine^p1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: M Dwyer| T: A M Balding| OR: 48

28/1

Sister to three winners is yet to set the pulse racing. Poor on handicap debut at Southwell when soon chased along and the change in surface, plus cheekpieces, need to have outstanding results.

Form: 0-685

(2)

Miss Green Dream¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 48

25/1

Had been running well at a similar prior to her latest when not getting the best of runs. Still has 5L to find with Lady Wolf on that piece of form.

Form: 90-4330

(4)

So I'm Told⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood| T: G & J Moore| OR: 45

5/2

Not much to shout about so far including a handicap debut in a poor class 7 at Kempton. Has changed yards but makes no appeal based on what he's done.

Form: 88-97

Forecasts

Another Reason (5/2), So I'm Told (5/2), Rich Cummins (7/2), Oliver Hardy (8/1), Gabrial The Giant (14/1), Lady Wolf (14/1), Miss Green Dream (25/1), Tails I Win (25/1), Willkommen (28/1), Munstead Moonshine (28/1), Enyama (50/1)

This will take little winning and Rich Cummins represents a top yard and a family with a winning tradition. However, he was beaten 7L on his return and had little of note upsides him crossing the line. Lady Wolf should appreciate the extra 2f but ANOTHER REASON makes more appeal. Olly Murphy's charge improved for this trip last time and, although up 4lb, he finished clear of the third and is dropped significantly in class. Gabrial The Giant carries his head high but would enter the reckoning if there is market support following a change of scenery.
