Lady Dancealot¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 94| CD

10/3

Scored over this C&D on her latest start where she prevailed by a head in a close finish in a 10 runner contest. Has been raised just 2lb by the handicapper in her bid to follow up. Leading contender again.

Form: 323161-

Total Commitment²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P Hedger| OR: 92| D

5/2

Has a great record on this surface with three wins from five runs. Recorded back-to-back wins in October. Had to settle for fourth place of nine last time out at Wolverhampton (6f) on his first run for his new yard. One to think about.

Typhoon Ten³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| BF| C| D

11/2

Prevailed at this course (7f) on his penultimate outing, scoring in nice fashion by 2¼L. Was disappointing on his latest attempt as he came back at the rear of nine runners at Wolverhampton (7f). Likely to bounce back with a much better run here.

Charming Kid¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: D K Ivory| OR: 87| D

25/1

His sole success on the AW came at Dundalk (6f) in January 2019. Has struggled since then on the track, including latest when he was last of 10 runners over this C&D. Has been eased 3lb but is hard to fancy on recent form.

Count Otto^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: M Dwyer| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 85| CD

8/1

Has been unable to add to his tally in his last nine outings, although he has hit the frame in a number of those efforts. Came home seventh of 10 on his last start which came over this C&D. Down 2lb in the weights. Others are preferred.

Fizzy Feet¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: D Loughnane| OR: 84| CD

3/1

Was successful over this C&D on her penultimate outing. Failed to follow it up over the same C&D last time time as she had to settle for fourth place of 10, beaten by 1¾L. Remains off the same mark so she is a big player.

Form: 722314-

Second Collection^h⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 83| D

14/1

Her two wins on the AW have come over this distance at Wolverhampton. She stepped up in trip last time at Wolverhampton to finish third of five over 7f. Will need to produce more to score from this mark.

Form: 15146-3

Forecasts

Total Commitment (5/2), Fizzy Feet (3/1), Lady Dancealot (10/3), Typhoon Ten (11/2), Count Otto (8/1), Second Collection (14/1), Charming Kid (25/1)

LADY DANCEALOT can defy a 2lb rise in the weights to repeat her success over this C&D from last month. She was staying on strongly at the finish last time so even more can be expected from the in form sprinter here. Fizzy Feet has run well over this C&D on her latest two starts and is a strong contender from this mark, while Total Commitment was in great form at the back end of 2019 and remains open to improvement so include him in your calculations.
