Brains^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 74| CD

4/1

Has been in good form recently with two wins from his last three starts. His latest success came over this C&D in a 10 runner field. He has gone up 8lb for that victory nine days ago. Big player to follow it up.

Form: 10414-1

Holiday Magic⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: L Carter| OR: 69| CD

7/4

Experienced gelding who has recorded two wins since switching yards back in November. He was successful on his latest outing on the AW at Lingfield (7f). Is 4lb higher in the weights now. One for the shortlist.

Form: 08/41-21

Fuwairt⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 65| C| D

8/1

Was successful on the AW at Kempton (7f) back in February but has not scored since. Has been well held on his two runs for his new yard, including last time on the AW at Lingfield (7f). Down to a career low mark now but others are preferred.

Form: 66847-0

Roof Garden¹³⁷

20/1

A C&D winner whose form over the last 12 months has been largely disappointing. He came home at the rear of 13 runners at Kempton (1m) on the AW on his last outing. Has had wind surgery since then. Best to watch for now.

Channel Packet⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| CD

7/1

His sole success on the AW came over this C&D. Made a return to action at Chelmsford (1m) nine days ago where he was third of seven. Has been eased 2lb. Worth consideration from this latest mark.

Form: 63308-3

Pioneering⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60| D

7/2

Is 0-7 on the AW but has won four times on turf. He was only 1L away in third place of nine on his latest attempt at Wolverhampton over the extended 1m trip. Set for his first run for his new yard here. One to think about.

Form: 8957-63

Act Of Magic¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: L McJannet| OR: 60| D

50/1

Has been tailed off in two starts since moving yards last month, including last time on the AW at Lingfield (6f) where he had just one horse behind him in a 12 runner field. Others make a greater appeal.

Form: 41298-0

The King's Steed^b,t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: S Lycett| OR: 59| CD

16/1

Scored over this C&D two runs ago in a 10 runner field by 2¾L. Was unable to follow it up last time at Wolverhampton (7f) as he finished eighth of 10. Stepping back up in trip now. One to think about.

Huddle^v¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 59| D

14/1

Was a winner on the AW at Lingfield (1m) three starts ago where she scored by a neck. Has been well beaten on her last two outings over that C&D. Is down 1lb in the weights but she needs to improve on her recent form.

Form: 457106-

BRAINS was successful over this C&D earlier this month and he can have a repeat victory here, defying his 8lb rise in the weights as there is likely to be much more to come from him. Holiday Magic is the biggest danger as he has been running well since moving yards, including last time out at Lingfield, while Channel Packet
