25/1

Modest filly. Latest win over C&D in December. 66/1, last of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 32 days ago, hampered over 1f out. However, others more persuasive in any case.

Form: 9183-70

Chillon Castle^p²²

20/1

Modest mare. Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 40/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. Worth noting if the market speaks in her favour.

Jungle Boogaloo^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 46

14/1

Modest filly. Eighth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6f) 17 days ago, losing all chance with very slow start. Previous Chelmsford second was her best effort to date so not dismissed out of hand

Form: 056-528

Mercers^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 45| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago. Can give a good account again.

Form: 907-263

Age: 11| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 37| CD

Starchant^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: J J Bridger| OR: 43

80/1

Form: 886-583

(6)

Toolmaker⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: D Flood| OR: 47

6/1

Pretty low-mileage 4-y-o. Very good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 22/1) 7 days ago. Suited by a positive ride then and similar tactics should suit again here.

Form: 9069-52

(4)

Twice As Likely¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 50| D

8/1

Modest filly. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 6/1) 14 days ago, merely making late gains. However, that was her first start for 11 weeks and she may be sharper here.

Form: 06756-4

Forecasts

Owhatanight (1/1), Boy George (5/1), Toolmaker (6/1), Twice As Likely (8/1), Jungle Boogaloo (14/1), Chillon Castle (20/1), Mercers (22/1), Amnaa (25/1), Egotistic (28/1), Starchant (80/1), Noble Deed (150/1)

OWHATANIGHT has enjoyed a fine spell on all-weather since the turn of the year for his bang in-form yard, doubling his career tally in comfortable fashion at Southwell 3 days ago. He can continue the good work back on polytrack, with Twice As Likely and Toolmaker, who ran his best race under positive tactics last time, heading up the dangers.
