Baashiq¹⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 63| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 14/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 178 days ahead of this debut for new yard and others make more appeal.

Form: 90-7563

Deleyll³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62| CD

16/1

Course winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. However, last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/1) on return 36 days ago and needs to bounce back.

Form: 994-110

Seaforth³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 62| CD

5/1

Four-time course winner. 9/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago. This 5 lb higher mark needn't debar another bold show.

Form: 543141

Carey Street²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Danny Redmond| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 61

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2018. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to soft, 15/2) 21 days ago. Has slipped to a dangerous mark and claims if able to bounce back.

Form: 429-378

Beatbybeatbybeat^v³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 60| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 16/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 199454

Liam's Lass⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: April Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 59

13/2

Respectable third of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 50 days ago, not knocked about. Should be on the premises once again, albeit one or two of these may prove too good for her.

Form: 743-513

(4)

Bug Boy³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhiain Ingram| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 59

10/1

Pulled up in handicap (13/2) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Probably best to draw a line through that effort and dropping back in trip looks a good move, but vulnerable all the same.

Form: 70-665P

(5)

Into The Zone^t⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ella McCain⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 57

18/1

Fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good, 100/1) 50 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over.

Form: 74/98-90

(6)

Traveller^t,v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 57| CD

7/1

Latest win here in February. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy, 16/1) 7 days ago. Back up in trip and others make more appeal.

Form: 917376

(8)

Amor Fati³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Keelan Baker⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 57| CD

14/1

Temperamental sort. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 16/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 36 days ago. Claims if on a going day but comes with risks attached.

Form: 922207

(9)

Inverarity¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Isobel Francis⁽³⁾| T: Frank Bishop| OR: 47

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 15 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, good to soft, 150/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 767-00

(13)

New Look^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 46

25/1

8/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 780375

Forecasts

Baashiq (9/2), Seaforth (5/1), Carey Street (11/2), Liam's Lass (13/2), Traveller (7/1), Beatbybeatbybeat (8/1), Bug Boy (10/1), Bell Heather (10/1), Amor Fati (14/1), Deleyll (16/1), Into The Zone (18/1), New Look (25/1), Inverarity (100/1)

Further success awaits SEAFORTH, who posted his best effort of the season so far when striking at Lingfield last month and he boasts a good record at this track. Carey Street has been given a chance by the handicapper and it would be no surprise were he to take a hand in the finish, while Beatbybeatbybeat makes each-way appeal.
