Broken Spear¹⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 87

40/1

Very good second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) in October. Just 2 lb higher now and looks a likely player on fibresand debut.

Daafr^v⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 81| C| D

3/1

Career best when easily winning 7-runner handicap at this course (8.1f) last week. Should be effective back at this shorter trip and looks well in under 5 lb penalty.

Form: 123871

Lincoln Park¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 83| D

7/2

Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. Last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 3/1), reportedly bled. Off 110 days. Bit to prove on fibresand debut.

Zylan^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 83| CD

12/1

6-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 18/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 12 days ago, finding test too much. Not out of things.

Form: 613525

Lord Oberon^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| BF| CD

2/1

4-time course winner who posted creditable third of 8 in handicap over C&D 19 days ago. Likely to go well again.

Form: 469-113

(3)

Never In Paris¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke| OR: 79

20/1

Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy, 7/1). Off 133 days. Makes fibresand debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 420343-

(6)

Little Boy Blue¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: W G M Turner| OR: 78| D

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2), making effort earlier than ideal. Off 123 days. Makes fibresand debut. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 444737-

Giogiobbo^p,t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| D

18/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, 7/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Something to find on form.

Form: 365564

(7)

Revolutionary Man²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R Brisland| OR: 70

11/1

Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner claimer (7/4) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 22 days ago, all out. Makes fibresand debut. First run for yard after leaving Sean Curran.

Form: 21-1421

Forecasts

Lord Oberon (2/1), Daafr (3/1), Lincoln Park (7/2), Revolutionary Man (11/1), Zylan (12/1), Little Boy Blue (16/1), Giogiobbo (18/1), Never In Paris (20/1), Broken Spear (40/1)

DAAFR relished the return to fibresand when scoring in decisive fashion a week ago and is taken to follow up. Lord Oberon and Broken Spear are feared most.
