16/1

80/1, fifth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Blinkers now reached for making fibresand debut and the betting may prove the best guide.

Dyagilev^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Pearce| OR: 54

13/2

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 4/1) 22 days ago, his response to pressure seemingly not all it could be. However, not ruled out for each-way purposes on handicap debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51

6/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 20 days ago, very much having run of race. Can give a good account again if proving as effective on fibresand.

Sezina⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 49

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort to date when fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 9 days ago. Further progress not ruled out at a low level but she may well be worth a try at 1¼m.

GEOGRAPHY TEACHER again ran well when finding only a much-improved sort too strong over C&D 4 weeks ago and, from a 1 lb lower mark, he's fancied to make his presence felt once more. Newcastle-scorer Khazaf and Dyagilev head up the dangers, in that order.
