4/7

A C&D winner who was successful on his penultimate start at Wolverhampton (1m4f). Was unable to follow that up last time over that same C&D as he was fourth of 12. Drops down in level. Big player.

Hi There Silver⁵⁴

16/1

Dual-purpose gelding whose sole success came on the AW at Kempton (1m3f). His last appearance was over hurdles at Plumpton (2m) where he was pulled up. Others appeal more on his return to the Flat.

Dawn Treader^p1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 65

6/1

Was successful at Windsor (1m2f) back in October. Returned to the Flat on the AW at Kempton (1m4f) following three disappointing efforts over hurdles but he could only finish 12th of 14. Cheekpieces are on for the first time. Worth consideration.

Phoenix Dawn^b¹⁰

20/1

Has not won on the Flat since October 2016 when he prevailed at Windsor (1m). He switched yards back in November and has been disappointing in three appearance since, including latest in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Fakenham. Others are preferred.

Chutzpah^p⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: M R Hoad| OR: 42

80/1

Remains a maiden after nine starts. Has failed to shine on the AW surface, with his latest attempt coming at Kempton (1m3f) where he was last of 14 runners back in November. Needs to take a big step forward here to be in the mix.

Sassoon^b⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: B A Curtis| T: P & O Cole| OR: 67| BF

9/4

Showed some promising form as a two-year-old but failed to break his maiden in 2019. He had just one horse behind him last time in a 12 runner contest at this course (1m). Stepping up in trip now which may help. One to consider.

Heaven Up Here³⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: John Berry| OR: 45

33/1

Has only featured on four occasions so far without success. She made her handicap debut for her new yard last time at Chelsmford (1m2f) where she was ninth of 13. Needs to improve on her latest appearance.

66/1

Still looking for her opening win after 15 outings. She was 11th of 14 on her latest effort at Chelmsford (7f). That run was her first since having a wind surgery. Significantly stepping up in distance now. Best to watch.

Forecasts

Dream Magic (4/7), Sassoon (9/4), Dawn Treader (6/1), Clemento (8/1), Hi There Silver (16/1), Phoenix Dawn (20/1), Heaven Up Here (33/1), Supreme Dream (66/1), Chutzpah (80/1)

DREAM MAGIC scored comfortably over this distance at Wolverhampton two starts back and he can have more success on this drop down in grade. Sassoon looks capable of breaking his maiden in the near future and he may come close on this step up in distance, while Dawn Treader can be taken to bounce back by finishing in the placings as he is good enough to be competitive at this level.
