Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 4m 9.44s

Scrutinise^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Page Fuller| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 100| CD

3/1

Resumed winning ways after 7 months off in 10-runner handicap over C&D in October, edging ahead near finish. Just as good when second back here last time and ought to remain competitive.

Form: 1842-12

Alfie's Angel³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: C Gethings| T: J M Bradley| OR: 97

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles who recorded good second of 16 in handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) in September. However, wasn't in the same form at Exeter the following month.

Form: U/6P-427

Rahmah³³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: M D Grant| T: G Deacon| OR: 96

80/1

Fair stayer on the Flat but it hasn't yet clicked over hurdles, so looks best watched returning from 11 months off here.

Form: 0460/06-

Clearly Capable²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: James Nixon⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 95

16/1

Made the most of a good opportunity in a 4-runner seller at Leicester in December. Well held in a brace of handicaps thereafter but is entitled to come on for last month's reappearance.

Form: 33144-6

Minnie Escape^b²⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 94| BF| D

18/1

Resumed winning ways with a career best at Taunton in January but is temperamental and didn't look in the mood for the fight at Wincanton the following month. Off since.

Form: 351915-

Legal Ok²⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P York⁽⁵⁾| T: P York| OR: 94| BF

6/1

Point winner who clearly has a race in him in this sphere, attempting to make all but mown down from the last in Plumpton handicaps final 2 starts last season. Will steal a march and win soon.

Form: 124422-

Man Of The North²⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A W Carroll| OR: 92| D

18/1

Improved from out of the blue to score at Uttoxeter in December, suited by the emphasis on stamina. Added to a patchy record when pulled up at Leicester the following month, though.

Form: 74/071P-

Go On Brycey Lad²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 91

7/1

Bred for the jumping game but has run to only a poor level at best in 3 outings over hurdles, pulling hard last time. On the upside, she at least gets a crack at handicaps now.

Form: 58-9

Lady Cylla⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: A W Carroll| OR: 91

7/2

Maiden who took a step back in the right direction when fourth in 13-runner contest at Warwick (19f, good) 47 days ago. Her task is to now build on that.

Form: 764-504

All Good Things^b,t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: M Sheppard| OR: 89| D

10/3

Took a step back in the right direction in another change of headgear here 10 days ago and is entitled to come on for the run, so makes appeal having eased further in the weights.

Form: 822-895

Forecasts

Scrutinise (3/1), All Good Things (10/3), Lady Cylla (7/2), Legal Ok (6/1), Go On Brycey Lad (7/1), Clearly Capable (16/1), Minnie Escape (18/1), Man Of The North (18/1), Derek Duval (25/1), Alfie's Angel (40/1), Rahmah (80/1)

ALL GOOD THINGS took a step back in the right direction here 10 days ago and has been eased a further 3 lb in the weights, so she looks as interesting as any. Scrutinise can give another good account, with Legal Ok another to consider having knocked on the door towards the end of last season.
