Dream Magic^b¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62| D

18/1

Fair gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 18/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (12f) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers back on.

Form: 0-35145

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 58| CD

Harlow^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| BF

11/10

Fair gelding. Beaten favourite in a Lingfield claimer last time but this even easier and the one to beat if he takes to fibresand.

Form: 75-8443

Loch Ness Monster^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| C

4/1

Course winner in November. 25/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 20 days ago. Not one for maximum faith (can blow start) but should play a prominent role down in a seller.

Form: 1664-85

(2)

Now Children²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 80| D

3/1

Decent Flat performer a couple of years back but not close to that level in varied events in more recent times, including a modest fourth in 1m course claimer last month.

Form: 106/09-4

Gwennoline^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke

Forecasts

Harlow (11/10), Now Children (3/1), Loch Ness Monster (4/1), Thawry (17/2), Dream Magic (18/1), Siyahamba (20/1), Gwennoline (66/1)

HARLOW was beaten favourite in a claimer last week but is perhaps worth another chance as his handicap efforts prior to that suggest he should be more than capable of winning a race like this. Former course scorer Loch Ness Monster may provide the main opposition.
