Miss Thoughtful^b1¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: L McJannet| OR: 70| CD

16/1

Cappananty Con⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 68| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (6f). Off 96 days. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 912436-

Swiss Pride^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 68| CD

11/4

C&D winner. 7/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Has edged down to a workable mark and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 332608-

Our Oystercatcher⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 67| D

12/1

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 12/1) 47 days ago. 1 lb lower now and it'd be no surprise to see this 7-y-o involved in the finish.

Form: 234753-

Sword Exceed²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: I Furtado| OR: 67| CD

12/1

Three-time C&D winner, but only twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 28/1) 20 days ago and he has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 070000-

Monsieur Patat⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: R Brisland| OR: 67| D

7/2

Winner at Windsor in August. 9/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 43 days ago. Each-way shout.

Form: 416054-

Desert Land⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: J R Boyle| OR: 66| BF| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 7/2) 42 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip and may again find one or two too good.

Form: 140338-

(6)

Hey Ho Let's Go⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: L Morris| T: M R Hoad| OR: 50

11/2

Winner here in September. Very good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 6/1) 5 days ago, doing too much too soon. Big player.

Form: 165022

(5)

Amnaa^v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 47| D

28/1

Latest win at Kempton in December. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 16/1) 5 days ago, never nearer. 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights and has work to do.

Form: 079183

Forecasts

Swiss Pride (11/4), Monsieur Patat (7/2), Hey Ho Let's Go (11/2), Cappananty Con (11/2), Desert Land (15/2), Sword Exceed (12/1), Our Oystercatcher (12/1), Miss Thoughtful (16/1), Amnaa (28/1)

Ready preference is for HEY HO LET'S GO, who did too much too soon when collared close home over C&D last week and he'll prove hard to catch if settling a little better this time. Monsieur Patat performed with credit over 7f at Chelmsford in November and is second choice back at this trip, albeit only marginally as Swiss Pride is also shortlisted having slipped to an attractive mark.
