Heron^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 62| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 17/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 21 days ago. May well be back on his game and mark remains feasible on old form.

Form: 7751-19

Drew Breeze^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 62| C

4/1

Course winner. Latest win here in February. 13/8, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.1f) 17 days ago, possibly finding race coming too soon. Solid claims following a more conventional break.

Form: 26-1315

Niven^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 59

4/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2016. 11/2, third of 5 in handicap at this course (18.4f) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Should give another good account.

Form: 74088/3

Beaufort^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 55

40/1

Unreliable type. Last of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (16f) 21 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Plenty to prove and not an obvious sort to take to this surface.

Form: 6316/60

The Resdev Way¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 54| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2019. Third of 9 in bumper at Newcastle (20f, standard to slow, 17/2) 16 days ago. Modest on the all weather, creditable effort here on last Flat outing.

Form: 45375-3

50/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 6 in handicap (80/1) at this C&D 10 days ago. Currently out of sorts.

Peerless Percy^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 55

3/1

7/2, creditable 5 lengths second of 9 to Drew Breeze in handicap at this course (12.1f) 20 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 623-632

Misscarlett^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 46

18/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2017. 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 21 days ago. Could bounce back returning to this course.

50/1

250/1, seventh of 12 in bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, standard to slow) on bumper debut 16 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Poor on the Flat in 2017/18.

Allerthorpe^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

200/1

23¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Drew Breeze in handicap (200/1) at this course (12.1f) 20 days ago. Uphill task.

Form: 00/80-96

Forecasts

Peerless Percy (3/1), Niven (4/1), Drew Breeze (4/1), Heron (9/2), Bealach (6/1), The Resdev Way (11/1), Misscarlett (18/1), Beaufort (40/1), Pepper Street (50/1), Silken Moonlight (50/1), Allerthorpe (200/1)

DREW BREEZE readily brushed aside Peerless Percy when scoring emphatically at this track earlier in the month and, with his subsequent run best excused, he's worth a chance to uphold the form with that rival despite a 7-lb higher mark. That pair is expected to dominate but Niven is too well handicapped to ignore.
