2/1

Improved performer of late since dropped in trip, gaining second C&D win 45 days ago when also showing a good attitude. Another bold showing is on the cards nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 2401-51

Spanish Angel¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 80

50/1

11/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) when last seen out 6 months ago. Has his first run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding and needs to hit the ground running.

Spartan Fighter^v²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 79| CD

14/1

C&D winner in January. 17/2, raced wide and not seen to best effect when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Gowanlad¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: P A Kirby| OR: 78| BF| CD

8/1

Opened his account over C&D but off since below-form seventh of 12 here in December. Still low mileage and enters calculations if back on song after his break.

Form: 952/117-

(6)

Devil's Angel¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 78| CD

10/3

Arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back C&D wins, posting career best on latter occasion 17 days ago. Up 4 lb but sure to make his mark again.

Form: 328-311

(3)

Dandys Gold²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| CD

9/1

C&D scorer in early 2020 but winless since and she hasn't proved the easiest to catch right. Others appeal more.

Form: 270-834

(5)

Spring Romance⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| BF| D

8/1

Four-time winner last year who is holding his form well in a busy 2021, third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 4 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 218833

Treble Treble¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76| BF| D

7/1

Winless since 2019 and off since finding 5f too sharp at Musselburgh 6 months ago. Makes tapeta debut now with something to find.

Form: 0/40090-

Forecasts

Global Warning (2/1), Devil's Angel (10/3), Treble Treble (7/1), Spring Romance (8/1), Gowanlad (8/1), Dandys Gold (9/1), Spartan Fighter (14/1), True Mason (28/1), Spanish Angel (50/1)

Little between the principals on form but GLOBAL WARNING goes really well on tapeta and remains quite unexposed at this trip so gets the nod. Devil's Angel is greatly feared in his C&D hat-trick bid despite racing off a career-high mark, with the durable Spring Romance not taken lightly either.
