Some Can Dance²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 111| C

22/1

Badly out of sorts so far this term, last in a handicap at Bangor returning to hurdling last time. Makes no appeal.

Form: 3PP-P48

Stung For Cash^p³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 110| D

14/1

Winning pointer who improved with each start over hurdles for Alastair Ralph. Has looked temperamental on both outings for current stable, however.

Form: 2644/3P

Looks Like Power²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 108| C| D

12/1

Poor strike rate in this sphere but has fallen a long way in the weights and took a step in the right direction when fourth in handicap at Exeter last time, so not ruled out.

Form: PPS-7P4

Oxwich Bay³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 107| C

9/1

Put it all together to get off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot (21f) in July. Unlucky to bump into a progressive one ahead of its mark at Plumpton a month ago and is respected back over timber.

Form: 153422

Adimelo⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs M Evans| OR: 105

100/1

Mark has edged down (rated in mid-120s a year ago) but hard to make a case for based on his last couple of outings.

Form: 9-473P6

Jully Les Buxy^b,t¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: J W Mullins| OR: 105

40/1

Ended last term on a downer and has offered nothing so far this term.

Form: 345-50P

March Is On²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Adrian Heskin| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 105| D

8/1

Back on form with pair of in-frame efforts around 3m at Wetherby and Huntingdon but latest effort was sub-bar. Mark still appears to sum him up, too.

Form: 7-86247

Le Tueur¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 103| BF| CD

6/5

Winning pointer who returned with successful handicap bow over C&D in November (cheekpieces on) and has remained in good form since, runner-up at Chepstow last time. Obvious claims.

Form: 2-67142

Darksideoftarnside^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100| C

6/1

Fairly useful on the Flat and ran out an easy winner on handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow in November. Quickly back to form when runner-up at Warwick 5 weeks ago and one to consider up in trip.

Form: 0/P-5152

Dorrana^p⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: S Bowen| T: K Woollacott| OR: 90

17/2

Has generally looked limited as a hurdler, one again making little impression at Exeter last time. The step back up in trip could help, though.

Form: 0566-48

Dysania²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: K Woollacott| OR: 82

50/1

Well held in a bumper and a trio of hurdling outings. Up in trip for handicap debut, so not impossible that he can show some improvement.

Form: 0070

Steel Native^t1³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 80| CD

33/1

On a long losing run, and pulled up both starts this season. Hard to fancy.

Form: 6U2P-PP

Emmas Dilemma^t⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: H James| OR: 79

66/1

Maiden who did better than previously this season at Bangor last time but is hardly a solid betting proposition from out of the weights.

Form: 984-085

Non-Runners

Gio's Girl²⁴

Weight: 11-5| Age: 8

T: P Gundry J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Le Tueur (6/5), Darksideoftarnside (6/1), March Is On (8/1), Dorrana (17/2), Oxwich Bay (9/1), Gio's Girl (10/1), Looks Like Power (12/1), Stung For Cash (14/1), Some Can Dance (22/1), Steel Native (33/1), Jully Les Buxy (40/1), Dysania (50/1), Emmas Dilemma (66/1), Adimelo (100/1)

LE TUEUR showed further improvement and pulled a long way clear of the remainder when second in a handicap at Chepstow 15 days ago and makes most appeal in his bid for a second C&D success of the campaign. Darksideoftarnside filled the same spot at Warwick last time and ranks as the main danger ahead of Oxwich Bay.
