Travail D'Orfevre¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Bruce Lynn⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander| D

6/1

Well-bred gelding who looked above average when landing an Ayr bumper in November. Form looks solid and he's open to improvement, so definite claims.

Form: 1

Clear White Light⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond

7/2

Good Flat pedigree and showed plenty of ability when fourth in AW bumper on debut here 46 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 4

Daddyjacks Special

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: Micky HammondWS

20/1

Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful chaser Akorakor. Clear White Light the stable first string unless betting hints otherwise. Has had wind surgery.

Form:

Donna's Double

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

9/1

€12,000 Fair Mix gelding. Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. In good hands but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Form:

Okavango Delta⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: R Dobbin

7/1

Placed in 2 bumpers here this winter (turf first occasion). Also performed with credit when fifth (Clear White Light fourth) on AW here latest. Ought to be in the shake-up again under Brian Hughes.

Form: 325

Petite Rhapsody⁴⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

12/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/high-class chaser Rathvinden. 25/1, shaped like a stayer when 14 lengths fourth of 14 on C&D debut in December 2019. Off since.

Form: 4-

Undecided¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: D W Whillans

18/1

12/1, never a threat when sixth of 12 on C&D debut (soft) in December. Needs to step up on that.

Form: 6

Annies Prayer

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

14/1

Sageburg gelding. Dam (b80) ran twice in bumpers. Yard 1-36 in bumpers in last 5 seasons so likely he's best watched on debut.

Form:

Right Said Ted

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

5/1

£6,000 son of Dylan Thomas. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Mazalunna and temperamental but fairly useful hurdler Honey Pound. Betting should guide.

Form:

Twoshotsoftequila^h1⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies

5/1

7/2, promise when 4 lengths fifth of 13 on AW debut here in January, fading only late on after racing keenly. Can do better if settling better this time (sports a hood this time).

Form: 5

Forecasts

Clear White Light (7/2), Twoshotsoftequila (5/1), Right Said Ted (5/1), Travail D'Orfevre (6/1), Okavango Delta (7/1), Donna's Double (9/1), Petite Rhapsody (12/1), Annies Prayer (14/1), Undecided (18/1), Daddyjacks Special (20/1), Lewa House (25/1)

TRAVAIL D'ORFEVRE looked potentially useful when scoring on his Ayr debut back in November and might be capable of defying a penalty. Clear White Light had Okavango Delta behind him in fifth when shaping quite nicely on his AW course debut last month and could be the one to follow the selection home.
