Fayathaan¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 83| D

4/1

Latest win at Lingfield in January. 5/2, third of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 11 days ago. More needed here, but shouldn't be far away.

Form: 5137-13

(8)

Toussarok²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79

13/2

Beaten 3 lengths when third of 5 to Fayathaan in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 22 days ago. Ought to finish much closer to that rival on these revised terms.

Form: 93722-3

(6)

Falcon Brook¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 75| CD

2/1

C&D winner in October. Last of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) 11 days ago. Others appeal as more likely winners on this occasion.

Form: 5817-34

(4)

Majestic Tejaan¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

9/2

Successful at Newcastle in November. 16/1, second of 4 in handicap there (7.1f) 11 days ago, responding well. Improvement required, but she's lightly-raced and may have more to offer.

Form: 17-2

(1)

Donny Marlow²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Keatley| OR: 71| C

10/1

Winner here in December. Third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/2) 20 days ago. More on his plate here and will need to raise his game.

Form: 15-3

(5)

Nagasaki Dream³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 65

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 6 in nursery (33/1) at this course (8.6f) 31 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 366-

(2)

Rivers Lad^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Brisland| OR: 65

9/2

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on 1st time and no more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 62408-5

Forecasts

Falcon Brook (2/1), Nortonthorpe Boy (3/1), Fayathaan (4/1), Majestic Tejaan (9/2), Rivers Lad (9/2), Toussarok (13/2), Donny Marlow (10/1), Nagasaki Dream (50/1)

NORTONTHORPE BOY is clearly thriving at present, winning 3 of his last 4 starts, and a 6 lb rise for his recent Kempton success is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Toussarok has a good chance of reversing Lingfield placings with Fayathaan on these terms and merits respect, but Majestic Tejaan, who was just ahead of Mark Loughnane's charge at Newcastle 11 days ago, is second choice.
