Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 72| D

7/2

Ended last season on the up, registering handicap victories at Catterick/Redcar (both at 7f). No reason why she can't continue the good work this season and respected.

Al Qaasim^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72

7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving William Haggas when third of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1) 28 days ago, nearest finish. Interesting on handicap debut.

Form: 32-3

Class Clown^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 66| D

11/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who improved to double career tally at Newcastle (7f) 13 months ago. Good midfield effort on return at that venue 2 weeks ago and that ought not to prove his limit. Blinkered.

Form: 501/31-6

Caballero¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 62| D

85/40

12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) in October. Operating from career-low mark on return but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Tommy G²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62| CD

7/1

3-time C&D winner. 28/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 23 days ago, likely finding the 5f trip too sharp. 2 lb lower now and this rates more suitable.

Form: 089-730

Zoravan^p⁵²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60| CD

10/1

Unreliable individual who went close on several occasions on turf/AW during 2019. However, missed whole of last year and market should prove a useful guide.

Sin E Shekells^p¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods| OR: 57

14/1

14/1, last of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f). Off 151 days. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Caballero (85/40), Midnite Bride (7/2), Al Qaasim (7/2), Tommy G (7/1), Zoravan (10/1), Class Clown (11/1), Sin E Shekells (14/1)

MIDNITE BRIDE ended last season on the up, registering back-to-back 7f victories at Catterick/Redcar. She's fancied to resume progress this season and can defy a career-high mark. Al Qassim and Class Clown are fancied to pose the chief threats.
