15/8

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (14f, 2/1) 39 days ago. 2 next-time-out winners behind him there and big shout in hat-trick bid back down in trip.

9/4

Has discovered the winning knack since teaming up with Richard Kingscote, career best when landing 5-runner handicap at this course (14f, 6/4) 22 days ago. She can go well again.

Form: 22331-1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82

17/2

Won at Redcar last summer. 20/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 26 days ago, well positioned. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Horn Of Plenty¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 79| CD

7/2

C&D winner in November. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 17 days ago, repeatedly meeting trouble and unlucky not to be in the mix. One to consider.

Form: 72816-4

Richard R H B²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 78| C

14/1

4-time course winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year (latest here in December). 5/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 22 days ago. Suspect this sort of trip stretches him.

Form: 41911-6

50/1

33/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 35 days ago. Will find easier openings.

Forecasts

Autumn War (15/8), My Girl Maggie (9/4), Horn Of Plenty (7/2), Night Bear (17/2), Richard R H B (14/1), Songkran (14/1), Berrahri (50/1)

A good handicap for the grade with HORN OF PLENTY just shading the vote. She's had little luck twice since opening her account here in November and remains on a winnable mark. My Girl Maggie and Autumn War are both seeking course hat-tricks and have to be in the reckoning.
