7/2

Off the mark at the 10th time of asking when landing a 12 runner handicap contest over C&D last month off a 2lb lower mark. Well held here in the new year but not easily ruled out here.

7/1

Winner of one of his 15 starts at this venue, the gelding has been running with plenty of credit in a number of starts over shorter trips earlier in the month over three differing trips. Could be a lively outsider.

Form: 446-384

8/1

Won over C&D at the start of November off a 16lb lower mark. Won again over 6f last before a 3¼L defeat when last seen over C&D last month. May need a few to falter.

Plough Boy¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: G Donnelly| OR: 70| CD

33/1

Winner of two of his 10 races over C&D but is currently in a below-par run of form, well held in a number of starts at this venue since September.

Form: 1900-60

Super Julius^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: M A Enright| T: S Donohoe| OR: 70| D

25/1

Winner of five of his 39 Flat starts in his career, the Bated Breath gelding is yet to hit the frame in four starts at this track. Profile suggests he is worth taking on again.

Form: 12625-7

Billyfairplay^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 69| BF| C

7/1

Course winner who has hit the frame over C&D. Second of five beaten a head behind Kodiline on a trip to Wolverhampton over 7f earlier this month. Not the most reliable of sorts but may play a part in this company.

Form: 3230-82

Red Cymbal^b,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 69| CD

8/1

Decent record over C&D, winning a 13-runner handicap off a 14lb lower mark before a gallant second of 14 a head adrift of Lapilli, both starts earlier this month. Beaten into third over 6f on latest start but another bold show looks likely.

Form: 606-123

Early Call^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 66| D

12/1

Solid enough efforts over C&D at this venue since November but is still searching for a breakthrough success in six starts over the combination. No surprise to witness a big run.

Form: 15592-8

Birkenhead^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Les Eyre| OR: 80| D

6/1

Interesting British raider for North Yorkshire trainer. Off the mark on the AW at Lingfield in November before a dismal effort at the same venue last month. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Sabrina Fairchild^t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: S Lynam| OR: 63| C

9/2

Running well in defeat on return to this surface following a progressive summer campaign on turf. Good effort on latest starts over C&D last month and is one for any shortlist.

Danz Gift^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 61| CD

12/1

All five appearances at this venue last season was over C&D with a second of nine his best effort in February. Sixth of 14 beaten 2L behind Lapilli earlier this month the geldings handicap mark continues to fall but hard to be confident at present.

Form: 26500-6

80/1

Colt by Anjaal out of a Piccolo mare mare. Closely related to French winner over 7½f Andreino. Last of 14 before a 12th of 14 on all three career starts so far at this venue since November.

Off the mark at the 10th time of asking when landing a 12 runner handicap contest over C&D last month off a 2lb lower mark, ENOUGH SAID can add to his tally in the opener. The four-year-old can hold off the attentions in the closings stages of Red Cymbal who can emerge as the biggest danger coming off a strong pace earlier in the contest. Billyfairplay and May Remain can be both expected to be doing their best work down the middle of track in the closing stages. C&D winner Danz Gift could go well at a price, now back on his last winning mark.
