Redredrobin¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M S Saunders| OR: 64

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good). Off 174 days. Difficult ask.

Limelighter¹⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: Miss S West| OR: 63| D

Latest win at Kempton in October. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1555-69

Ruskin Red¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: D J Coakley| OR: 62

25/1

(8)

Chetan⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

10/1

10/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 46 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Return to turf should help, so he's not a forlorn hope.

Form: 953-234

(13)

Quarry Beach³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 62

11/1

Keeper's Choice¹⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 61| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 6/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good), running on. Off 174 days. Likely to need this return.

Form: 00/6145-

(10)

Bounty Pursuit²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 61

10/1

Form: 303-702

(14)

12/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. 10/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal.

Form: 707-455

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 59| D

13/2

Winner at Kempton in January. Sixth of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Kempton (8f) 59 days ago. Lightly raced and may yet get back on the up.

Form: 6497-16

(7)

Like Sugar⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 58| D

4/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/2) at Kempton (8f) 59 days ago, conceding first run. Could do better still, so makes plenty of appeal under useful claimer.

Form: 8533-81

Forecasts

Like Sugar (4/1), Kendergarten Kop (13/2), Suns Up Guns Up (13/2), Keeper's Choice (17/2), Bounty Pursuit (10/1), Chetan (10/1), Wind In My Sails (10/1), Quarry Beach (11/1), He's Our Star (12/1), Limelighter (12/1), Takeonefortheteam (22/1), Ruskin Red (25/1), Miss Matterhorn (40/1), Redredrobin (66/1)

LIKE SUGAR did well to get up having conceded first run at Kempton a couple of months ago and has the scope for further progress, so she gets the nod in an open race. Bounty Pursuit is a danger if he can back up his recent close second at Lingfield, while Quarry Beach is of some interest making his debut for David Evans.
