Griggy^b⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: S Curran| OR: 65| BF| D

13/8

Arrives here in fine form having won four of his last six starts and bolted up at Chelmsford last time; obvious claims with just a penalty to carry here.

Form: 11-2131

Waqaas⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| D

25/1

A winner on debut for trainer Jamie Osborne at Laytown but lost his way badly since and really struggling in five starts for this yard; wide draw another negative.

Form: 5/09-049

Chocco Star¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 61| BF| D

7/1

In good form since joining this yard, winning with plenty in hand at Lingfield in January; beaten favourite last time but unsuited by being held up off a slow gallop and better expected here.

Form: 8533-13

Amor Kethley^h1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 60| D

16/1

Showed the benefit of a wind operation when scoring at Chelmsford in September but form hasn't progressed from that and although she is back on the same mark now, others make more appeal; wears first-time hood.

Impart^p⁴⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 60| D

50/1

Game effort when winning over 5f at Lingfield in 2018 but well beaten twice since and returns from a lengthy absence here.

Phoenix Star^h,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| CD

4/1

Only win since his second career start came over C&D back in November; just 2lb above that winning mark here and drop in trip could help him get competitive again.

Form: 3-52744

Hey Ho Let's Go⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: M R Hoad| OR: 58

11/1

Yet to win in 15 starts and yet to hit the frame in five starts since joining this yard; though has run okay in defeat; may need some more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 24-4545

Black Isle Boy⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 58| CD

9/1

Sole win in 17 AW attempts came over C&D in February but couldn't back that up under a penalty last time out; others look better handicapped.

Broughton Excels⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: S C Williams| OR: 57| BF| C| D

15/2

Course winner who has won twice on Polytrack; still 7lb above his last winning mark and beaten favourite here last time out; wide draw not ideal.

Form: 270-733

Mont Kiara^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 54| BF| CD

25/1

C&D winner on debut for this yard and got his head back in front at Lingfield earlier this winter. 2lb below that last winning mark but disappointed as favourite last time and hard to recommend on that evidence.

Form: 02-6657

Forecasts

Griggy (13/8), Phoenix Star (4/1), Chocco Star (7/1), Broughton Excels (15/2), Black Isle Boy (9/1), My Town Chicago (10/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (11/1), Amor Kethley (16/1), Tomshalfbrother (16/1), Mont Kiara (25/1), Waqaas (25/1), Impart (50/1)

It's hard to oppose GRIGGY with just a 5lb penalty to carry for an impressive success at Chelmsford last week and he's taken to make it five wins from his last seven starts here. Chocco Star was unsuited by a slow gallop last time and can do better here but Phoenix Star could be the main danger with the drop in trip sure to suit.
