Amazing Grazing^e/s⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 75| D

11/4

Third over 5f at Musselburgh latest continued his very consistent form on the AW circuit this winter. However remains 5lb higher than his last win so while he's likely to be involved again, remains vulnerable to one better handicapped.

Form: 525243

Tabaahy¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| D

13/2

Well-related Kyllachy gelding who cost 260,000gns as a yearling. Improved this season for new stable after leaving Kevin Prendergast in Ireland for just £4,000. Won on stable debut and ran to a similar level on handicap debut. Can be involved again.

Form: 50-15

Show Palace²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 74| D

10/1

Winner of 10 races and returned with a solid fourth on the fibresand. Losing run now though stretches back to September 2017 despite falling to an attractive mark. Likely to need very testing conditions to win again.

Form: 54853-4

Landing Night^p,t³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies| OR: 74| D

13/2

Last win came off 1lb higher over 5f here and gets a welcome drop in class following two solid efforts. Not ideally drawn this time and yet to win further than the minimum distance.

Form: 6-66527

Van Gerwen⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 73| D

17/2

Now 1lb lower than last winning mark when beating Musharrif a short-head in September. Needs to lift his form from two below-par efforts and would appreciate plenty of rain. Others look stronger candidates.

Form: 0-50406

Musharrif⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 73| D

6/1

Beat Van Gerwen by a head over 5f at Pontefract in October and back on same mark, however well below that level on his latest two starts. Has his conditions but needs to bounce back.

Form: 421-444

Manshood^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| D

7/1

Below par in two starts this season although may be fitter for the efforts. 1lb higher than AW win over 5f in November but well handicapped on previous two career wins over 6f. Could shape better now.

Form: 9913-96

(4)

Case Key²⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| BF| D

14/1

Remains 3lb higher than last win over 6f at Ripon in September but has won off 1lb higher in the past and this distance is no issue having won over 5f. Well drawn but may need the run on his reappearance.

Form: 043125-

Turanga Leela^b¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: J Mackie| OR: 71| D

16/1

Made a winning stable debut after leaving Ian Williams over 6f at Wolverhampton in January but well below that off 6lb higher at Doncaster. Both turf wins have come at Chester and more needed.

Form: 1501-10

Forecasts

Amazing Grazing (11/4), Musharrif (6/1), Landing Night (13/2), Tabaahy (13/2), Manshood (7/1), Van Gerwen (17/2), Show Palace (10/1), Casterbridge (10/1), Case Key (14/1), Turanga Leela (16/1)

An tight sprint handicap where the consistent Amazing Grazing can be relied upon to not be far away again from a decent draw. Manshood should be primed for a better run now and is on a good mark. TABAAHY has proved a smart purchase in two good starts for his new yard, remains lightly-raced and open to plenty of improvement.
