Devizes¹⁶

11/8

Thriving, fourth win in last 5 starts (and third over C&D) when landing 8-runner handicap 16 days ago, battling well. Good chance again up 4 lb.

Abel Tasman¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Latest win over C&D in December. 7/1, creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Probably remains in form and is one to consider.

Form: 5331-48

Red Inca¹³

Age: 13| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 60

80/1

Veteran fair handicapper, last seen on Flat in 2015 for Brian Ellison. Has returned in good form over fences and wouldn't completely dismiss back in this sphere.

Form: 683342/

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 58| C

Forecasts

Devizes (11/8), Abel Tasman (4/1), Beat The Breeze (17/2), Chinese Whisperer (10/1), Thorn (11/1), Flying Standard (11/1), Rakematiz (12/1), Minster (16/1), Liberty Power (20/1), Ilhabela Fact (28/1), Highway One (40/1), Tackleslikeaferret (40/1), Red Inca (80/1)

Hard to side against DEVIZES, who could keep ahead of the handicapper for a while yet and can notch up a fifth win, and a fourth over C&D, this year. Beat The Breeze and Thorn are a couple of the chief dangers.
