Final Reminder⁷⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 107

9/1

Multiple hurdles winner (at up to 25.4f) who was poorly in at the weights and likely needed first run for 18 months in any case when well held on Kelso chase debut in December. This should reveal more

Form: 1117/3-5

Ryalex^p1,t⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107| CD

16/1

Sole success came over C&D back in 2018. Very lightly raced more recently and he was in trouble some way out when well held fourth of 7 over extended 20f here in December. Cheekpieces on.

Form: F2/35-74

Trongate⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith| OR: 107| D

3/1

On a long losing run, often coming up short in jumping department (particularly over fences). Still, has largely acquitted himself well this term and far from disgraced when fourth over hurdles latest

Form: 433P34

Scottish Accent^p,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 105

3/1

Yet to win but largely consistent and best not judged harshly on his well held Musselburgh third recently, returning from 8 weeks off/with competition for the lead. One to consider.

Form: 2-54223

Shaughnessy^p³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 101

9/1

Bumper winner in 2018. Yet to be asked for effort when falling heavily 5 out in Wetherby handicap chase in December and better than distance beaten suggests over hurdles at Ayr since.

Form: 34P-5F8

Central Flame⁷⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 11-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 100| CD

13/2

Pretty useful in his prime and showed he still retains enough ability to make an impact off this sort of mark when going down only to an improver at Newcastle last time. 1 lb lower now and claims.

Form: 33/PP-52

Mill Race King⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: T D Easterby| OR: 95

11/2

Winning pointer who has yet to complete in 2 starts over fences but shaped better than being pulled up suggests at Wetherby (3m) in December. Weakness at the finish a concern but it's still early days

Form: 152/5FP

Westend Theatre¹⁰⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 78

10/1

Veteran who belatedly shed maiden tag (from basement mark) at Hexham (3m) last winter. Gave his running when third back at that venue in November but he may be vulnerable to a couple.

Form: 0/3142-3

Forecasts

Scottish Accent (3/1), Trongate (3/1), Mill Race King (11/2), Central Flame (13/2), Shaughnessy (9/1), Final Reminder (9/1), Westend Theatre (10/1), Ryalex (16/1)

SCOTTISH ACCENT twice shaped well when runner-up in handicaps at Sedgefield/Newcastle and is best not judged too harshly on his latest Musselburgh third having faced competition for the lead. He gets the nod to get off the mark in refitted cheekpieces. Veteran Central Flame and Trongate are others to consider.
