Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| BF| D

7/2

Was successful over this distance at Chelmsford two runs ago. Finished second of five last time at Newcastle (7f) in his follow up attempt as the 11/10 favourite. Remains off the same mark. Is a leading contender.

Form: 343-212

Glenn Coco^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| CD

3/1

A C&D winner who has a great strike-rate on the AW with six wins from his 12 outings. Was just a short-head away on his latest attempt when he was second of six at Chelmsford (1m). One to consider from a mark he can work with.

Form: 95474-2

De Vegas Kid⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 84| D

33/1

Was in good form last summer with three wins from four starts. Has been well held on his latest two efforts, including last time at Chelmsford (7f) as he came back at the rear of nine horses. Needs to bounce back.

Unforgiving Minute⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: S Curran| OR: 83| CD

10/1

A two-time C&D winner. Comes into this contest on a hat-trick bid following victories at Chelmsford (1m) and Wolverhampton (7f) respectively. One for the shortlist as he looks to continue his winning run.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: D K Ivory| OR: 82| CD

25/1

A lot of his success on the track has come here, including a C&D victory. His form over the last 12 months has been largely disappointing. Was fourth of seven last time at Chelmsford (1m). Has been eased 2lb. Others are preferred.

Form: 76906-4

Rectory Road^h⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 82| CD

14/1

His last victory came 12 months ago over this C&D. Finished seventh of 11 on his opening appearance for his new yard back in November. Is down 1lb in the weights but he needs to improve on his recent form.

Ginger Fox⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Loughnane| OR: 80| BF| C| D

9/4

Has been running well since switching yards last November. He scored at this course over 6f, while he then hit the frame on his next two outings. Is off the same mark as his third place finish here (6f) last time out. One to think about.

Form: 24912-3

Martineo²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 78| D

7/1

Completed a hat-trick of wins in the early stages of 2019. Has been well held on his last two starts, including when he came back at the rear of 11 runners at Lingfield (7f) on the AW last month. Needs to improve.

Forecasts

Ginger Fox (9/4), Glenn Coco (3/1), Asdaa (7/2), Martineo (7/1), Tipperary Jack (8/1), Unforgiving Minute (10/1), That Is The Spirit (10/1), Rectory Road (14/1), Eljaddaaf (25/1), Itsakindamagic (25/1), De Vegas Kid (33/1)

ASDAA has been running really well over this trip recently and he can go one place better than his latest attempt at Newcastle off this mark where he finished as the runner-up. Glenn Coco has produced the majority of his best form on this surface so is a big danger as he looks to improve from his narrow margin defeat last time at Chelmsford, while Unforgiving Minute is attempting to complete a hat-trick of wins but may have to settle for minor honours here.
