Latest win at Lingfield in January. 10/3, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 57 days ago, left with too much to do. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 68| BF| D

15/2

Mujid¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 68| D

4/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 22/1), inadequate test. Off 103 days. Significantly back up in trip. Has work to do.

Form: 57/6008-

Forecasts

Mujid (4/1), Glenn Coco (9/2), Shining Aitch (11/2), Brains (7/1), Dutugamunu (15/2), Catch My Breath (8/1), Strawberry Jack (17/2), Hundred Isles (10/1), Wrath Of Hector (28/1), Accomplice (28/1), Galactic Glow (50/1)

DUTUGAMUNU has been running well on polytrack throughout the winter and he can follow up a creditable effort at Lingfield last time for a third career victory here. Hundred Isles is interesting on handicap debut and has to be respected. Brains has fallen to a workable-looking mark and makes each-way appeal with Saffie Osborne taking a useful 7 lb off today.
