12/1

Latest win at Kempton in January. Better than result when sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 10/1) 14 days ago, left with too much to do. Not discounted.

Form: 703-416

15/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 5/1) 12 days ago. Seems to have lost his form for now.

Form: 52-4359

Storm Melody^p⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: A Stronge| OR: 60| BF| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 4 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Clashaniska³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Danny Brock| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

11/10

9/4, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 3 days ago, keeping on well. Thriving at present, so boasts obvious claims in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 6007-11

Champagne Supanova^p1⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 59| D

17/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, good third of 13 in handicap at this course 60 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On a very appealing mark, so warrants respect despite a poor strike rate.

Form: 78960-3

Requited⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 58| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 11/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Off 99 days. Plenty to prove at the moment.

Knockout Blow^p³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: J E Long| OR: 56| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 2¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Clashaniska in handicap (7/2) at this C&D (AW) 3 days ago, not ideally placed. Below last winning mark and shaping as if still in form.

Form: 114/434

Forecasts

Clashaniska (11/10), Knockout Blow (11/2), Storm Melody (11/2), Rebel Redemption (15/2), Champagne Supanova (17/2), Aces (12/1), Requited (14/1)

CHAMPAGNE SUPANOVA is well treated and caught the eye dropping into 0-60 company at this course a couple of months ago, so a chance is taken on him to capitalise with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Clashaniska arrives on a hat-trick, so he's a clear danger along with Storm Melody.
