Mister Music¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-8| J: B A Curtis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| BF| CD

3/1

Dual C&D winner who has also won here over 1m. Last two wins have come in claimers/sellers, however, and although dropping in class for this handicap, he has still got a bit to prove on recent evidence.

Form: 8065-73

Liamba^p1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| BF| C

6/1

Triple course winner over 6f, the latest when 2lb lower on her penultimate start. Has twice gone very close over this trip at Wolverhampton, but previous attempts here have proved abortive. Cheekpieces may help, and she could go close.

Form: 3341-17

Molaaheth^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 70| D

50/1

Made the frame on Kempton's Polytrack over 6f last winter, but otherwise his AW form is nothing to write home about. Scored over this trip on turf in September (stable debut), but last of 10 on recent return from a break, and stable also quiet.

Form: 25881-0

Love Your Work⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: T J FitzGerald| OR: 67| C

6/4

Dual 1m course winner last spring, when with Adam West. Showed in his October run here that he can be competitive from this mark. Sold for £10,000 in December and makes his stable debut here with a few things to prove.

Bedtime Bella^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| C

11/4

Won a 6f claimer here in November. Not easy to predict what she will produce. Best efforts would give her a squeak from this mark, but haven't seen enough from her in recent handicaps to suggest she will do better than a place here.

Forecasts

Love Your Work (6/4), Bedtime Bella (11/4), Mister Music (3/1), Coolagh Magic (7/2), Liamba (6/1), Molaaheth (50/1)

Keep an eye on the market with regard to Mister Music, given that he drops in grade here, and also Love Your Work, on his stable debut. Bedtime Bella looks booked for a good run, but perhaps that may still not be enough to win, so process of elimination leads us to LIAMBA, who may be able to better previous C&D efforts now cheekpieces go on.
