Paddling^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 93

13/2

Placed on each of his last four starts including when runner-up over 3m1f at Catterick (soft) last time out. Drop in distance no issue and he is one for the shortlist off a mark 4lb higher than for his sole previous victory.

Form: 342D32

Bocasien Desbois³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Cook| T: M Todhunter| OR: 88| D

10/1

Fair effort in finishing 16L third in a six runner handicap chase over 2m3f at Catterick (soft) at the end of December. More needed if he is to take this contest.

Form: 4P8183

Two Hoots^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 86| C

9/2

Put a pulled up on soft ground over an extended 2m here behind him when finishing ½L second in a handicap chase over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen (soft) last time out. Of interest despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 2-574P2

Sandford Castle^p1⁶³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: R P McLernon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 86

11/2

Pulled up on both starts since returning from wind surgery including over an extended 2m4f in a handicap hurdle at Southwell (soft) in early December. Others make more appeal on return from a short break.

Form: 0/83P-PP

Miss Zip^b1⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

11/1

Pulled up in a novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m7f at Taunton (soft) in December. Given a short break since and market support would be notable in first time blinkers on her return to hurdling.

Form: 46545P

Sunny Ledgend^p¹⁹

Age: 15| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 81| D

28/1

Admirable veteran but was beaten 37L when fourth over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen (soft) last month. First start in over 18 months that day and cheekpieces worn with limited effect in the past return.

Form: P455/P-4

Pc Dixon^p1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Cameron Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 81

9/1

Disappointed when pulled up at Ayr (3m, soft) on his penultimate start but fared better when finishing 8½L fourth over an extended 2m4f at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) last time out. Cheekpieces tried for the first time in this contest.

Form: 5F62P4

Robin De Broome^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: B S Hughes| T: S Curran| OR: 72

7/2

18 race maiden ran well to finish 6L second in a 2m5f selling handicap chase at Fakenham (good-to-soft) last time out. Changed stables since and has a top jockey booked to ride in this event.

Form: 4-09832

Sory^p⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 10-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 71

6/1

26 race maiden was beaten 13L when finishing third over an extended 3m2f on soft ground here recently. Likely more needed if he's to break his maiden on this occasion.

Form: 32-8733

Forecasts

Robin De Broome (7/2), Two Hoots (9/2), Sandford Castle (11/2), Sory (6/1), Paddling (13/2), Pc Dixon (9/1), Bocasien Desbois (10/1), Miss Zip (11/1), Dahills Hill (25/1), Sunny Ledgend (28/1)

The consistent PADDLING can register a victory in the final race on the card. The selection has been running well in defeat since returning from a break an dhe can get the better of Two Hoots who can take second having filled the same position at Market Rasen on his most recent appearance. Third place can go the way of Robin De Broome who is making his debut for a new yard.
