Dharma Rain^p,t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C Hobson| OR: 55

25/1

No form over hurdles since joining current yard but showed ability on the Flat when trained in Ireland and certainly needs monitoring in market with cheek pieces now added.

Form: 772050-

Lady Makfi³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: J Farrelly| OR: 55| D

14/1

Ran up to best when third here last time but that was over 2m and this a is a rare go at this shorter trip.

Form: 60-1763

(11)

Lean On Pete⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 55| C| D

14/1

Admirable veteran who will appreciate the slight drop in class. Loads of form here but without a win now since 2017.

Form: 2094-54

(13)

Tilsworth Lukey¹⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 54

25/1

Generally consistent last term and has the from to figure here if ready to go after a break but well beaten only previous run here.

Form: 246330-

Going Native¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 53| CD

7/1

5L win off basement mark here three starts ago. Not quite as good since off this higher mark although inadequate trip on first occasion.

Form: 026143

(6)

Loose Chippings^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 52

2/1

Desperate form when trained in Ireland but left that well behind on first run for this yard when just pipped over 1m6f here recently. The winner has since followed up and although drop in trip possibly not ideal, repeat will see him go close.

Form: 9090/0-2

(1)

Caracas⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 49

18/1

20 race maiden and although place claims on best of his form, may again find a few too good for him.

Form: 270-543

(10)

Thecornishbarron¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: B Ellison| OR: 48

10/3

Just the one career win but in good nick and showed this trip holds no fears when fair second on latest after similar efforts at shorter.

Form: 455-222

(14)

Rajapur^e/s¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Danny Brock| T: D Thompson| OR: 48| CD

50/1

Off the mark in a desperate seller at the track on penultimate start but well beaten since and easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 579-010

(12)

Ipcress File^p⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 47

25/1

Connections trying different trips to try and squeeze more out of him but just looking short of the required to break his maiden.

Form: 7630-26

(5)

Thahab Ifraj¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45

14/1

Sprang a huge shock over hurdles at Wincanton when winning at 66/1 in November. Bits of form on the Flat but generally seems better at the winter game.

Form: 84676-3

(8)

Siyahamba⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: R Ffrench| T: B Smart| OR: 45

8/1

Chased home Going Native here on latest to add another placed run to his name . More needed for win purposes but solid place claims once again.

Form: 4942-32

(7)

Bertie Moon^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: A Forbes| OR: 45| C| D

40/1

Losing run building up and hard to see the veteran arresting the slide from out of the handicap here.

Form: 4408-58

(9)

Kathy^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

125/1

No ability in four runs including recent handicap debut. Needs to improve markedly for this longer trip and/or first time cheek pieces.

Form: 985/9

Forecasts

Loose Chippings (2/1), Thecornishbarron (10/3), Going Native (7/1), Siyahamba (8/1), Thahab Ifraj (14/1), Lean On Pete (14/1), Lady Makfi (14/1), Caracas (18/1), Dharma Rain (25/1), Tilsworth Lukey (25/1), Ipcress File (25/1), Bertie Moon (40/1), Rajapur (50/1), Kathy (125/1)

Low grade stuff but LOOSE CHIPPINGS put in a vastly improved effort on English debut and a repeat of that even at this shorter trip should get him off the mark. Dharma Rain has one piece of form in Ireland that would make him of real interest on Flat debut in this country while Caracas is one of plenty to hold place claims.
