Cappananty Con¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 72| CD

9/2

C&D winner was scoring for the fourth time when victorious by a head over 5f here earlier this month. Raised 2lb for that victory and is one to note stepping back up in distance.

Form: 9-25361

Lucky Lodge^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Kieran Schofield⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 70| CD

5/1

Good second, beaten a neck in a 6f handicap at Newcastle earlier this month. Put a below par claiming effort behind him when 2L fifth over 7f here last time out and is interesting having won over C&D in the past.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Aaron Mackay⁽⁵⁾| T: S Durack| OR: 67| CD

Returning from a break when finishing 3L seventh to Cappananty Con over 5f here two weeks ago. Improvement likely and interesting to see how he performs.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Mooney⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 65| D

20/1

Winner over this trip at Chelmsford as a two-year-old. Disappointing since but signs of a possible revival in two starts at Dundalk since joining this stable.

Form: 50-8066

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 63| D

50/1

Ended 2018 with a victory in a 6f handicap at Carlisle (good-to-soft) in August. Races off the same mark here and looking for a first AW victory in this event.

Alfie's Angel¹⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Seamus Cronin⁽³⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 62| D

40/1

Decent third over this trip at Ripon (good) last September on his penultimate outing. Changed stables since finishing eighth on soft going at Redcar subsequently and market support would be notable on seasonal debut.

Form: 155738-

Mansfield^p1⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Toby Eley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 59

7/1

Finished third over 6f here on his penultimate start and filled the same position stepping up to 7f last time out. Cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 34-8833

(3)

Everkyllachy^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 58| D

8/1

Made a winning debut for this stable when successful over 5f at Newcastle just under a month ago. Visor worn for the first time that day is retained and she is interesting off a 3lb higher mark.

Forecasts

Cappananty Con (9/2), Lucky Lodge (5/1), Dotted Swiss (5/1), Mansfield (7/1), Everkyllachy (8/1), Boundsy (9/1), Poeta Brasileiro (9/1), Secret Potion (12/1), Red Cymbal (20/1), The Establishment (20/1), Alfie's Angel (40/1), Cosmic Chatter (50/1)

EVERKYLLACHY has a good draw here and she is taken to register her second victory since joining this stable by taking this competitive looking sprint handicap. Top weight Cappananty Con was a winner here earlier this month and he can claim second ahead of Secret Potion who is another to have won last time out.
