King Of Stars^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| CD

10/3

12/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, keeping on well. 6 lb higher mark to contend with but career with this yard still in it's infancy and he can go well again.

Form: 26156-1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 80| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 2/1, respectable 3¼ lengths third of 7 to King of Stars in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Expected to go well again.

Form: 6422-13

Mulzim²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 80| BF| CD

3/1

3-time C&D winner last year, the latest of them coming in December. Better than distance beaten suggests when fourth of 6 in a C&D event latest, though he was reported to have bled that day.

Form: 31181-4

Giogiobbo^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 76

5/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 7 days ago. Can give a good account again on that evidence.

Form: 728-263

Duke Of Firenze⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 75| CD

22/1

Ended long losing run over C&D in December. Record rather mixed since, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 419-546

Drakefell^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 71| D

18/5

Visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 4/1) 15 days ago. Usual blinkers back on now and the switch back to fibresand needs to have a positive effect now.

Form: 5264-67

Mulzim (3/1), King Of Stars (10/3), Thegreatestshowman (7/2), Drakefell (18/5), Giogiobbo (5/1), Big Impact (16/1), Duke Of Firenze (22/1)

KING OF STARS showed much-improved form when doubling his tally on fibresand 3 weeks ago, noted travelling fluently and keeping on well from 1f out. He's just the type his shrewd yard can do even better with and he earns the vote to follow up. Thegreatestshowman is taking his racing well and is feared, along with Giogiobbo.
