Cosmelli^b³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: T Eaves| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 85| C| D

2/1

1m4f course winner who has scored over a similar trip to today's at Newcastle since. However, hasn't won since July 2018. Back on a handy mark, and produced a better effort over 1m4f last time, so can't rule out him ending a losing run.

Tynecastle Park⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Selma Grage⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 70| CD

4/9

Triple C&D winner whose latest success was here over 1m6f in December, when 4lb lower. Consistent, and although well held here last time when second over further, he is entitled to enter calculations again.

Form: 11221-2

Soloist^b⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 72

33/1

Won a fillies' handicap (1m4f) on Newcastle's Tapeta last August, when 4lb lower and with William Haggas. Ran a couple of nice races for Keith Dalgleish after being sold, but pulled up on final run for him and last on debut for this trainer.

Forecasts

Tynecastle Park (4/9), Charlie D (7/4), Cosmelli (2/1), Gang Warfare (16/1), Soloist (33/1)

Tynecastle Park is entitled to have his supporters given his record over this C&D, and he can again go well, while Cosmelli is back on a handy mark and is much respected back up again in trip. However, CHARLIE D has abundant stamina, and is taken to come on a bit for his return from a break, and he may be open to more improvement for this first try on Fibresand.
