Dark Side Dream^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 60| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 28 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Wallis and he shouldn't be far away.

Form: 727733

A Go Go^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 60| CD

6/1

9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. That was her third success over C&D and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent this filly from taking a hand in the finish.

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 28/1) 28 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others preferred.

11/4

Eighth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (5f, good) 45 days ago. Chance on peak form but there's been little sign of a revival in recent months.

Form: 4-38098

Knockabout Queen¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: B Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| C

12/1

Course winner. Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Bath (5f, firm) 19 days ago, running on. 1 lb lower back on AW and she needs considering.

Forecasts

Spreadsheet (11/4), Dark Side Dream (4/1), Our Man In Havana (11/2), A Go Go (6/1), Smokey (13/2), Solar Park (15/2), Thegreyvtrain (8/1), Knockabout Queen (12/1), The Defiant (12/1), I'm Watching You (14/1), Daddies Diva (80/1)

The vote goes to SMOKEY, who is comparatively unexposed and produced a career-best when scoring over C&D last month, for which a 4 lb rise is by no means harsh. A Go Go, successful here on 2 of her last 3 starts, is a much-respected main danger, while several of the others make each-way appeal, not least Knockabout Queen, who scored twice off higher marks (including here) in January.
