Able Kane^v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: B R Millman| OR: 79| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 2/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 18 days ago, keeping on. Return to 6f rates a plus and one to consider.

Form: 44110-2

Little Boy Blue¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 78| D

2/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 7/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago. Effective on turf and possibilities from this sort of mark.

Form: 4737-32

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D K Ivory| OR: 78| D

3/1

16/1, thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) 27 days ago, hanging badly left after 2f out. Needs to show the benefit of that run to feature here.

Form: 48274-0

Phuket Power^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76| D

7/1

10/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 19 days ago, no extra inside final 1f. Now operating 3 lb below last winning mark so not one to rule out back on turf.

Form: 8106-44

(6)

Newyorkstateofmind^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 76| BF| D

12/1

Latest win at Lingfield (6f) in November. Respectable second of 5 in handicap back at that venue (5f) 2 weeks ago, making late headway. Blinkers again the headgear of choice.

Form: 21245-2

(2)

Heer We Go Again^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 74

33/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 125/1) 12 days ago. Mark is easing all the time but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 2-16768

(1)

Grey Galleon^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: R A Teal| OR: 73| D

11/1

Below form fifth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago, not helped by being carried right by hanging rival. Best treated as still in good form.

Form: 0-23325

(8)

All You Wish²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P D Evans| OR: 62

25/1

11/2, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive.

Form: 94-3547

Little Boy Blue (2/1), Dancinginthewoods (3/1), Able Kane (7/2), Phuket Power (7/1), Grey Galleon (11/1), Newyorkstateofmind (12/1), All You Wish (25/1), Heer We Go Again (33/1)

A winner over C&D last summer, ABLE KANE shaped encouragingly when runner-up over 5f at Bath 18 days ago, noted keeping on. The return to 6f promises to suit and he can regain the winning thread. Little Boy Blue arrives on a workable mark, and along with Grey Galleon, heads up the dangers.
