Bowling Russian^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 71| D

7/2

Returned from a break with a ½L victory in a handicap over this trip at Lingfield recently. Raised 5lb for that victory and holds strong claims of following up for a stable with a 38% strike-rate (3/8) in recent weeks.

Form: 46359-1

Yukon Mission^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 67

13/2

Placed five times from six starts most recently when 1¾L third to Bowling Russian over this trip at Lingfield last month. Blinkers worn for the first time that day are retained and she looks likely to play a leading role once more.

Form: 53-2323

Lord P¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 67| D

9/2

Completed a double with victory over this trip at Kempton just under a month ago. Disappointed when fifth off this 5lb higher mark over 7f at the same venue subsequently and the return to this trip is a positive.

Form: 68-5115

Lakeview^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: D Loughnane| OR: 65| BF

9/2

Maiden after six starts and finished a decent 2½L fourth in a 7f handicap at this venue last time out. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained dropping in distance.

Form: 9626-64

With Virtue^p1²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 63

12/1

Improved with racing last year finishing third in a 5f maiden at Ripon (good) in July on her most recent start. Had wind surgery since and wears cheekpieces for the first time on handicap and AW debut.

Form: 053-

Feel Good Factor⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

11/1

Seven race maiden was beaten 5L when finishing fifth in a handicap over this trip at Kempton last week. Likely more needed if she is to take this event.

Form: 338-635

Egotistic³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Butler| OR: 58| CD

18/1

Career best effort when winning a claiming race over this C&D by 2L at the end of January. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are absent returning to handicap company on debut for this stable.

Form: 658-71

Van Dijk²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 57

11/2

Six race maiden was making his seasonal debut when finishing runner-up in a 7f handicap here just under a month ago. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and is interesting down in trip for a yard with a 35% strike-rate (6/17) in the last two weeks.

Form: 66800-2

(8)

Lili Wen Fach²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R J Price| OR: 56

66/1

Well beaten last of eight in a 7f hnaidcap here on her debut for this stable last month. Never involved that day and is probably best watched dropping in trip.

Form: 8638-38

Bowling Russian (7/2), Lakeview (9/2), Lord P (9/2), Van Dijk (11/2), Yukon Mission (13/2), Feel Good Factor (11/1), With Virtue (12/1), Egotistic (18/1), Lili Wen Fach (66/1)

YUKON MISSION has been running well in defeat of late and she can reverse recent running over this trip at Lingfield with top weight Bowling Russian in the concluding race on the card. The selection has run well at this venue in the past and she can register her first victory in this contest while third place can go the way of Lord P who should appreciate the return to this distance.
