17/2

Course winner. Latest win at Kempton in December. 14/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago, left with too much to do. Each-way shout.

Form: 512-345

Boma Green^p⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 75| BF

12/1

9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 6 lengths eleventh of 12 to Pholas in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago, not clear run. May well have a part to play in the finish granted better luck this time.

Form: 49328-0

Heaven Forfend²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M L W Bell| OR: 75| D

17/2

Didn't need to be at best when winning 3-runner minor event (2/5) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut for new yard 25 days ago. More needed now switched to handicap company.

Form: 4/2334-1

Zeimaam¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: E Bethell| OR: 75

25/1

Respectable fourth of 14 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1). Off 159 days ahead of this first run for yard after leaving Owen Burrows and others are more appealing.

Form: 36/7224-

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 75| D

10/1

Latest win at Kempton in January. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 3/1) 40 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and claims if he takes to this surface.

Form: 335-114

(9)

Diyari¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 72

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, first run since leaving John Gosden when seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 653/6-7

(14)

Lasting Legacy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 71| C

7/2

Course winner. 6/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Needs to find improvement from somewhere if she's to emerge on top.

Form: 41/006-3

(12)

Great Colaci⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 71| CD

5/1

Three-time C&D winner. Five wins from 17 runs last year. 20/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 5 days ago, nearest finish. Shortlist material.

Form: 1-66242

Pholas^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey| OR: 71| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Fifth of 6 in handicap (6/4) at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. Merits consideration back at a track where she clearly excels.

Form: 313125

First Response^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 71| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable 3½ lengths fifth of 12 to Pholas in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 47 days ago. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 4439-45

Big Muddy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: S Spencer| OR: 67

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at this C&D 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and sizeable step forward needed.

Form: 4-27

(8)

Dubai Acclaim^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Fourth of 5 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 25 days ago. Needs to step up on that, but this 6-y-o is dangerous to discount having dipped to a career-low mark.

Form: D00-834

(6)

Glory of Paris¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 58| CD

22/1

Temperamental sort. C&D winner. 15/2, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 4-31257

Forecasts

Lasting Legacy (7/2), Pholas (4/1), Great Colaci (5/1), Espresso Freddo (17/2), Heaven Forfend (17/2), Win Win Power (10/1), First Response (10/1), Boma Green (12/1), Mujid (12/1), Glory of Paris (22/1), Zeimaam (25/1), Dubai Acclaim (33/1), Diyari (33/1), Big Muddy (100/1)

Arguably unlucky not to prevail over 7f here last week, GREAT COLACI will surely go close granted a trouble-free passage back at this trip and off the same mark. He was beaten a length by Pholas over C&D in January and enjoys a significant pull at the weights with that rival. Boma Green finished nearer last than first in that handicap, but he was repeatedly denied a clear run and is feared most.
