Hot Team^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55| BF

5/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2018. 2/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Visor back on and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 56-9044

(6)

Van Dijk³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55

9/1

Unreliable sort. Latest win at Newcastle in January. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 10/1) 37 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 221929

(8)

Born To Sire^p1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 54

15/2

Seventh of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and claims if the new headgear helps spark a return to form.

Form: 72-2007

(11)

Mostaqqer^p1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Wigham| OR: 53

7/2

Second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 8/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and, given the stable he represents, it will be interesting to see which way he goes in the betting.

Form: 00-0902

(13)

Marjoram²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: George Baker| OR: 53

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Ed Walker when eighth of 9 in maiden (50/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and she may well improve.

Form: 65-8

(1)

Red Gunner¹⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 11/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D, slowly away. Off 149 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 033500-

(3)

Masque Of Anarchy^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: S Hanlon| OR: 47

9/4

Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good, 8/1) 6 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 050/334

(9)

Lukoutoldmakezebak^p¹⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 47

33/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 157 days and looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 546840-

(4)

Corofin⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: R Bandey| OR: 47

16/1

Respectable fifth of 15 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW, 9/1). Off 97 days and down in trip on first run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. One to consider.

Form: 47403-5

(2)

Red Skye Delight⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 46

28/1

Temperamental sort. Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Last of 9 in minor event (12/1) at this course (7.2f) 45 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 3-66209

(7)

New Look^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 46

14/1

Remains a maiden after 34 Flat runs. Thirty-six runs since last win in 2018. 10/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 10 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 505528

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 45

125/1

First run since leaving T. J. O'Mara when ninth of 10 in handicap (200/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 90 days ago. Down in trip for this tapeta debut.

Forecasts

Masque Of Anarchy (9/4), Mostaqqer (7/2), Hot Team (5/1), Born To Sire (15/2), Van Dijk (9/1), New Look (14/1), Corofin (16/1), Super Superjack (16/1), Red Skye Delight (28/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (33/1), Red Gunner (40/1), Marjoram (40/1), Pedro De Styles (125/1)

This represents a good opportunity for HOT TEAM to regain the winning thread. He wasn't beaten far in a stronger handicap than this under an inexperienced rider at Doncaster 16 days ago and will benefit from stronger handling here. Corofin will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward back on turf for a new yard, while handicap debutante Marjoram also needs a second look.
