Lord Of The Rock⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 81

14/1

Mixed fortunes over hurdles since joining this stable from Roger Fell's yard. Returns to the Flat on a feasible mark, but has a wide draw which makes life difficult.

Form: 865046-

Saryshagann²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

8/1

Promise in three runs over hurdles before switching back to the Flat and running a solid third of seven over 1m4f at Lingfield. Runs off the same mark and drop in trip should suit. Stable won this last year.

Form: 50153-3

Rake's Progress¹⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: H Main| OR: 79| D

10/3

No wins in eight starts last season, but was given little assistance by the handicapper and is not obviously well treated on his return to action. Others make more appeal.

Tamreer^h⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| D

14/1

Successful on debut for Charlie Hills last season and was having her first run for current stable following a break when third of eight at Newcastle last month. Makes fair amount of appeal on handicap bow, but interest is tempered by widest draw.

Form: 17-3

Sands Chorus^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 78| D

7/1

Lost his way in the autumn, but has changed hands and shown more in first two starts this season, latterly when a good third of 18 at Newbury. Chance if building on that display.

Form: 8008-03

(3)

This Girl^p⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 78| C

11/4

Several good efforts on the AW since the turn of the year, including last time when a neck second in first-time cheekpieces. The headgear is retained on return to turf and only previous win came at this venue.

Form: 334-352

(8)

Appointed^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

25/1

Seasonal reappearance when distant ninth of 10 at Ripon. Down 3lb, but needs to show more before becoming a betting proposition.

Form: 52045-9

William Hunter¹⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: A King| OR: 77

14/1

Tailed off in a Huntingdon novices' hurdle before returning to the Flat at Wolverhampton in December and finishing a respectable 5L fourth of six to a well-treated stable companion. All three wins on the level have been registered on turf.

Music Seeker^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 73| D

11/1

Wetherby winner last June, but has not added to that tally since then. On the plus side, he is 3lb lower than for that last success so could get involved if improving on his two efforts this season.

Form: 7044-77

(10)

Chingachgook⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: T Davidson| OR: 72

11/2

Picked up a Musselburgh maiden hurdle on latest start last month, but is 0-9 on the Flat. Confidence has probably been boosted by latest success so not a forlorn hope switched back to the Flat off career-low mark.

Form: 425327-

(14)

Anchises²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: R Menzies| OR: 71

66/1

Showed ability without winning for Richard Hannon and first start for this yard saw him finish well down the field at Doncaster. Down 2lb and needs to show much more if he is to make an impact.

Form: 3240-0

This Girl (11/4), Rake's Progress (10/3), Chingachgook (11/2), Lawn Ranger (6/1), Sands Chorus (7/1), Saryshagann (8/1), Glacier Fox (10/1), Music Seeker (11/1), Lord Of The Rock (14/1), William Hunter (14/1), Tamreer (14/1), Regal Director (14/1), The Throstles (20/1), Appointed (25/1), Trinity Star (25/1), Rayna's World (25/1), Anchises (66/1)

A wide-open handicap which may go to SARYSHAGANN, who was shaping well over hurdles before finishing a decent third off this mark on his return to the Flat. Tamreer would have been the selection had it not been for a wide draw, but she may still be capable of running well along with the likes of Chingachgook, Music Seeker, William Hunter and This Girl.
