Double Legend^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 57| CD

11/8

His sole success came over this C&D back in February. He was only 3½L away last time out over this C&D when he was fifth of 14. Has been eased 2lb in the weights which puts him off his last winning mark. Big player.

Form: 30508-5

Muraaqeb^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: J M Bradley| OR: 55| BF| C

9/1

Was in good form in the second half of 2019 where he was able to add two wins to his tally. He was disappointing on his latest appearance at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) as he could only finish eight of 11 as the 4/1 favourite. Capable of bouncing back.

Wally's Wisdom^t²⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 54| CD

16/1

His only victory so far came over this C&D in March 2018. Has not featured since he was 10th of 13 at this course (1m6f) back in May. Stepping back down in trip again on his first run for his new yard. Best to watch.

Form: 540/540-

Lord Howard^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 54| C

12/1

Prevailed at this course (1m3f) three starts ago in a 14 runner field by 2L. He made his debut over hurdles last time out where he was pulled up at Hereford (2m). Has each-way claims on his return to the Flat.

Usanecolt¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 53

9/1

Has yet to prevail in seven outings. Ran well twice at Wolverhampton last month over 1m1½f, including a third place finish of 12. Was pulled up early into the race last time on the AW at Lingfield (1m2f) after losing his action. Others appeal more.

Form: 80/934-P

Fire Island^p1⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: T Ward| OR: 53

12/1

Has failed to shine in four starts on the track. Her latest effort came on her handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) on the AW. She has been eased 2lb in the weights. Cheekpieces are on for the first time. Others are preferred.

Form: 7667-

Percy's Prince^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 53| C

12/1

Scored at this course over 2m back in September. Has been unable to follow that up in four runs since. He came back seventh of 10 on his latest outing here (2m). Stepping down in trip where he is one to consider from this mark.

Form: 51438-7

Ember's Glow^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 49| CD

11/2

A C&D winner who scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three runs ago. Was not too far away on his latest appearance over this C&D when he was fourth of 12. Remains off the same mark. One for the shortlist.

Form: 96415-4

Principia²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: A West| OR: 48

33/1

Dual-purpose mare who is yet to get off the mark in 15 appearances. She has been a long way down the field on her last three outings over hurdles, including in a 1m7½f contest at Wincanton last time where she was sixth of 12. Hard to fancy.

Form: 3R6880-

Sir Dylan^h²⁷¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: P Gundry| OR: 45| CD

66/1

Versatile gelding who is a C&D winner at this track. He was successful on his latest appearance over fences at Fontwell (2m2f). This will be his first outing on the Flat since March. Can't be ignored from this mark.

Form: 20866/4-

Rockstar Max^v1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S W Kelly| T: D J Coakley| OR: 47

16/1

Has been well held on all four of his starts to date. He made his handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time but could only finish eighth of 15. Has been eased 3lb and a visor will be worn for the first time. Others appeal more.

Form: 868-8

(4)

Beechwood James^t1,v⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jane Elliott| T: M Appleby| OR: 46

25/1

Still a maiden after 12 appearances. Hit the frame on a couple of outings in 2019 but otherwise his form has been disappointing. Was eighth of 11 at Chelmsford (1m5½f) six days ago. Needs to improve to be in the mix.

Form: 0085-68

Forecasts

Double Legend (11/8), Ember's Glow (11/2), Muraaqeb (9/1), Usanecolt (9/1), Percy's Prince (12/1), Lord Howard (12/1), Fire Island (12/1), Wally's Wisdom (16/1), Rockstar Max (16/1), Beechwood James (25/1), Principia (33/1), Sir Dylan (66/1)

DOUBLE LEGEND is back down to the mark he was successful from over this C&D which gives him a great opportunity to double his tally. He ran respectably well around here last time out and can step up from that to get his nose in front. Percy's Prince has been competitive over this distance before and from his latest mark, is a big challenger, while Ember's Glow is a C&D winner who can build upon his latest effort to fill the placings.
