Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: S C Williams| OR: 101| D

10/1

50/1, first run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when respectable fourth of 10 to Kinross in listed race at Kempton (8f) 59 days ago. Not ruled out back in handicap company for in-form yard.

Mission Boy¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR: 100| D

18/1

Ex-Italian gelding is winless since early 2019 but he arrives in decent form, fourth of 6 in Group 3 at Milan (8.4f) on final run for Alduino Botti. Respected on handicap bow for new yard.

Intuitive^t,v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 98

9/2

Useful handicapper who has shaped with promise after absence/wind op this winter, keeping on late under patient ride when third at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago. Form has been franked, so player.

Form: 11/0043-

Fox Power⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Hannon| OR: 93| D

4/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o who hinted at a revival when fourth of 13 in 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton in November, no extra last 1f. This return to 1m will suit so holds good claims after his break.

Form: 240994-

Crownthorpe¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 92| D

11/2

6/1, posted career best when winning 1m handicap at Southwell 13 days ago. Still unexposed on AW so can make his presence felt again despite 3 lb rise.

Form: 30823-1

Papa Stour^t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: S C Williams| OR: 91| D

11/2

Scored at Kempton in November and good second of 5 in 1m handicap at Chelmsford City 7 days ago. In the mix off unchanged mark for yard among the winners.

Mohareb²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 88| C

12/1

Course winner but it's now twelve runs since last win in 2019. Rare modest run when eighth of 9 in 6f handicap here 28 days ago and has his stamina to prove so others more persuasive.

Form: 072668-

Corazon Espinado⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 87| CD

10/3

Confirmed his return to form in no uncertain terms when five-length winner of 7f handicap here 7 days ago. C&D scorer too so he's not taken lightly despite 9 lb hike in the weights.

Form: 48462-1

Forecasts

Corazon Espinado (10/3), Fox Power (4/1), Intuitive (9/2), Crownthorpe (11/2), Papa Stour (11/2), Lord Rapscallion (10/1), Mohareb (12/1), Mission Boy (18/1)

A useful handicap in which INTUITIVE is taken to build on his promising Wolverhampton third (form which is strong) and gain a fifth win on the AW. Corazon Espinado bolted up over 7f here last week so is feared most despite being hit with a 9 lb rise, although Fox Power is weighted to have a big say too and also needs considering.
