2/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (4/9) at this C&D 13 days ago by ¾ length from Jazz Legend, overcoming a slow start. Progressing well at present, so big chance of landing the four-timer.

4/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in January. 11/8, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Likely to bounce back in a first-time visor.

Form: 094-514

(5)

Jazz Legend¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 52| CD

9/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 17/2, creditable ¾-length second of 7 to Owhatanight in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 3-61592

Forecasts

Owhatanight (2/1), Dylan's Lad (4/1), Everkyllachy (5/1), Paddy Power (17/2), Secret Treaties (9/1), Dirchill (9/1), Jazz Legend (9/1), Moveonup (22/1)

OHWHATANIGHT arrives on a roll and seems the straightforward solution to this handicap up against more exposed types. Dylan's Lad was better than the result last time and likely to bounce back to form, so he's regarded as a threat along with Secret Treaties on debut for Mick Appleby.
