15/2

Dual course winner in 2019. Another good run here when second over C&D in March but disappointed for the first time at this track when only sixth of 7 last month, possibly amiss. Has had a wind op.

11/10

Career best when easily winning 4-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 6 days ago, leading on bridle approaching 2f out and soon clear. Carries penalty. Not taken lightly.

17/2

C&D winner here in October. Ran respectably when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 20 days ago. More needed to take this.

Luscifer¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Latest win here in December. 11/10, again ran well when second of 6 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago, keeping on. Should be in the mix again.

Form: 713112-

Forecasts

Perfect Swiss (11/10), Luscifer (5/1), Parallel World (15/2), Fieldsman (8/1), Star Of St James (17/2), Fred (10/1), Kattani (14/1), Yuften (50/1)

A few in with chances but preference is for PARALLEL WORLD, who shaped as if amiss over C&D last month but can get back on the up having subsequently undergone wind surgery. Perfect Swiss beat the selection at Newcastle in November so rates an obvious threat having bolted up at this track just 6 days ago, with Luscifer another to consider.
