Kilbaha Lady^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| D

14/1

In-and-out sort who had brought a model of consistency during the autumn AW campaign before returning with tame 11th of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m1f) last month. Entitled to improve for that.

Form: 62432-0

Fronsac^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 65

Yet to win but has bags of experience but has some snippets of form. Last seen finishing 2L fifth at Wolverhampton (1m1f) last month and previous form levels gives him a place chance.

Form: 08544-5

Fair Power⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: J Butler| OR: 65| CD

5/1

Dual C&D winner in September and last win came at Wolverhampton two starts ago. Not as good at Lingfield (1m2f) last time but given some respite in the handicap and is considered.

Greek Kodiac^p⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: M Quinn| OR: 64

16/1

11-race maiden on the Flat who has yet to really show signs of winning, including weakening fifth at Lingfield (1m2f) in late December. Has plenty on his plate in this.

Enzo²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Butler| OR: 63

16/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in August 2019 but not in the same vein of form since. Hit the frame twice before tame seventh of 13 at Wolverhampton (1m) last month and may need more off this mark.

Form: 12533-7

Subliminal^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 63| D

5/1

Has turned a new leaf since the turn of the new year, winning at Lingfield in January before backing that up at that track (1m2f) later that month. 3lb rise is fair and looks bang in there.

Form: 330-311

(8)

Creative Talent⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| D

20/1

Last win came at Brighton in August 2019 but put a bad run of three efforts behind him when second at Wolverhampton (1m1f) on Boxing Day. Looks to be well-treated in the weights and has place claims.

Parknacilla^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: H Spiller| OR: 61| C

10/1

Dual winner over 1m here last year and put in some admirable efforts in defeat, including 2L behind progressive sort over 1m here last time out. Steps up in trip and must be respected.

Form: 1122-74

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60WS

12/1

Regulator¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 60

16/1

Sole win came at Ayr in July 2017 and proving to be slightly inconsistent at present, including latest seventh of 12 at Kempton (1m2f). Has a bit to prove at the ratings and others make more appeal.

Form: 7955-47

(6)

Dyagilev^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 52| CD

4/1

Past C&D winner who has come to himself over the autumn/winter period. Respectable second at Kempton (1m2f) last month and may have more to come once again. Considered.

Forecasts

Dyagilev (4/1), Fronsac (4/1), Fair Power (5/1), Subliminal (5/1), Mukha Magic (10/1), Parknacilla (10/1), Temujin (12/1), Kilbaha Lady (14/1), Bayston Hill (14/1), Greek Kodiac (16/1), Enzo (16/1), Regulator (16/1), Creative Talent (20/1)

The new year - and decade - has brought out the best in SUBLIMINAL, who already has two victories to his name at a track which wasn't entirely set to suit. While he is pitched into deeper company now, the fair rise sees him well placed in the weights to find the necessary improvement. Dyagilev may provide the sternest resistance from bottom weight and looks to be coming back to C&D winning form from the autumn, while the likes of Creative Talent and Parknacilla are both well-treated and could improve over this distance and track.
