Rogue Tide^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 75| D

10/1

Latest win at Lingfield in January before creditable third of 7 off 3 lb higher there 11 days ago. Can make presence felt again off unchanged mark.

Form: 4020-13

(10)

Enough Already⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: L Carter| OR: 75

18/1

Still a maiden, and (40/1) only ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 62 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 3223/49-

(6)

Mabre³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| CD

4/1

Latest win at Newcastle in December and backed it up with good second of 9 in handicap there (8f) 32 days ago when getting no cover from draw. C&D scorer too so holds good claims.

Form: 05521-2

Brunel Charm³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| BF| C

5/2

Course winner but too free in blinkers when fifth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 33 days ago. Headgear quickly dispensed with so not ruled out.

Form: 00334-5

Tommy Rock^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 73

22/1

Off 4 months before below-form seventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 38 days ago. Should strip fitter now so no forlorn hope off slipping mark.

Form: 44240-7

Pink Jazz^b,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: S Curran| OR: 72| CD

8/1

Three-time winner last year who hit ground running in 2021 with all-the-way success over C&D (13/2) 20 days ago. Has more to do now upped 4 lb though.

Form: 4811-81

(8)

Commit No Nuisance¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: W J Knight| OR: 72

12/1

14/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 18 days ago. Return to this shorter trip should suit, but still needs to show a bit more if he's to open account.

Form: 693/30-8

(7)

Hector Loza^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: S Dow| OR: 71

12/1

It's now twelve runs since last win in 2019 but well supported when good fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 11 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 8504-74

(5)

Aureum²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 71

13/2

Promising third in 11f maiden here but not seen to best effect when only fifth at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago, having hopeless task after bumped at start. Not written off on handicap bow.

Form: 53-5

(1)

Malvern²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

20/1

Dual novice winner in 2019 but he has been below par in handicaps since, seventh of nine over C&D last time. Very hard to fancy.

Form: 100/00-7

(2)

Settle Petal¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: R Brisland| OR: 60| CD

20/1

C&D winner who recorded good fourth of 10 in handicap here (11f) 13 days ago given left poorly placed. Can give another good account back down in trip.

Form: 07040-4

Forecasts

Brunel Charm (5/2), Mabre (4/1), Aureum (13/2), Pink Jazz (8/1), Rogue Tide (10/1), Hector Loza (12/1), Commit No Nuisance (12/1), Enough Already (18/1), Malvern (20/1), Settle Petal (20/1), Tommy Rock (22/1)

A case can be made for a few but the most persuasive one is for MABRE, who can boast a C&D win and deserves extra credit for his recent Newcastle second when unable to get any cover. Aureum also didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Wolverhampton last time so is fancied to take a big step forward now she goes into handicaps. In-form Settle Petal is a lively outsider to consider too.
