Horse silk
Ladronne27
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-13| J: Mr Joe Whitaker(7)| T: T Collier| OR:  101
15/8
Maiden (0-6); held no chance with the talented Minella Trump when runner-up in a Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate start; fair fourth on New Year's Day handicap debut (Fakenham); international showjumper Joe Whitaker takes the ride.
2
Horse silk
17/2
Made all when off the mark on handicap debut over hurdles at Ayr (3m, good) in October 2018; appeared in need of the run on return to action (from a 14-month absence) at Ayr 26 days ago.

Horse silk
Court Dismissedp44
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-12| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell(7)| T: D McCain Jnr| OR:  100
66/1
Better known as a chaser and back with Donald McCain following a stint in point-to-points for Alan Hill (husband of Lawney); pulled-up at Southwell (2m4½f, heavy) 44 days ago; in fairness, the handicapper is showing some leniency.

Horse silk
Sultans Pride14
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-10| J: Aaron Anderson(3)| T: G Boanas| OR:  98
2/1
Maiden (0-10); stayed on from the second last to finish a modest third (beaten 18L) to the clear-cut winner Jobsonfire at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; each-way claims.
5
Horse silk
Jupiters Way266
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Henry Newcombe(7)| T: P A Kirby| OR:  97
25/1
Ex-northern pointer (with owner Vic Colgan); has shown only minimal promise under rules as a novice for Phil Kirby; must take a sizeable step forward on handicap debut; market potentially informative.
Out the back in three novice starts (all over 2m½f at Bangor On Dee); closely related to the point winner Be My Oscar; could feasibly fare better on handicap debut over this longer trip (2m6f); sports first-time cheekpieces.
7
Horse silk
Three County'sh,t27
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-2| J: Mr James King| T: O Murphy| OR:  90
13/2
Has failed to make a positive impression since sent handicapping (eased 18lb since March 2019); was beaten 17L when fourth of nine to Mamoo at Catterick (3m1½f, good to soft) on New Year's Day.
8
Horse silk
Taras Dayp,t70
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-11| J: Lewis Dobb(7)| T: Laura Morgan| OR:  85
12/1
Mixed fortunes so far (1-12); 5lb higher than when beating Robyndzone by 3L at Southwell (3m, good) in May 2019; the 7lb claim of the inexperienced Lewis Dobb is potentially a valuable asset.
9
Horse silk
Frankies Fire19
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Kit Alexander| T: J Walton| OR:  82
14/1
3-6 in point-to-points (Corbridge, Alnwick and Balcormo Mains); her form figures under rules (U05U) don't exactly serve to instil much confidence; is opposed on the balance of probability.

Forecasts

Ladronne (15/8), Sultans Pride (2/1), Three County's (13/2), Storm Nelson (17/2), Taras Day (12/1), Frankies Fire (14/1), King Gypsy (14/1), Jupiters Way (25/1), Court Dismissed (66/1)

Verdict

A very tricky finale, which in truth makes precious little appeal from a punting perspective with the safest advice being to follow the market moves, Both Jupiters Way (handicap debut for Phil Kirby) and the newly-cheekpieced and upped-in-trip KING GYPSY are thought capable of better now switched to a more realistic level. The booking of the talented 3lb claimer Ed Glassonbury catches the eye aboard the selection. Others with a definite shout in an open race include Taras Day, Ladronne and Three County's.
  1. King Gypsy
  2. Taras Day
  3. Three County's
