Rock of Estonia²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: M D Squance| OR: 70| C

8/1

Put some disappointing efforts behind him when finishing 4½L fourth over C&D earlier this month. Races off a 3lb lower mark here and is worth a check in the market in this contest.

Eponina³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67

8/1

Four time winner on turf including over an extended 1m at Nottingham (soft) on her penultimate start but 0/16 on the AW including when eighth over 7f at Wolverhampton last time out. Others make more appeal.

Form: 665218

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 67| D

7/1

Returned from wind surgery with a 6L fifth in a seven runner 5f handicap here nearly three weeks ago. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are retained.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 63| CD

11/4

Completed a C&D treble with victory by ¾L on her penultimate start. Good 1¾L third over this trip at Newcastle subsequently and looks likely to play a leading role once more.

First Excel^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S R Bowring| OR: 63| CD

5/1

Successful in this race two years ago and built on a promising return from a break when finishing 4½L second in a C&D handicap earlier this month. Races off the same mark here and is an interesting runner on this occasion.

Global Humor⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| D

11/4

Doubled his victories tally when winning by a neck in a 6f handicap at Newcastle a week ago. Escapes a penalty for that success and is one to note on his first start on fibresand.

Running well in the main of late including when finishing ½L second in a race over 5f at Newcastle earlier this month. Most recent victory came over this trip off a 4lb higher mark at Wolverhampton just over a year ago.

Queen Of Kalahari (11/4), Global Humor (11/4), First Excel (5/1), Private Matter (7/1), Eponina (8/1), Rock of Estonia (8/1), Burtonwood (11/1), Bernie's Boy (20/1)

QUEEN OF KALAHARI has shown good form at this venue in recent times and she can get back to winning ways with a victory in this competitive looking event. Global Humor, a winner off this mark last week can take second spot while third can go to Burtonwood who's trainer can boast a 29% strike-rate (2/7) in recent weeks.
