11/4

22/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 8 days ago, always holding on. Another personal best will be needed here following a 4 lb rise.

Katherine Place^t⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: W G M Turner| OR: 60| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good, 8/1) 5 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 7-33444

Indian Pursuit^v¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 58| D

18/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 10 days ago. Good chance if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 417-257

Cool Spirit^h⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 57| D

9/2

Much improved when winning 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 44 days ago, well on top finish. Did the job well enough there to suggest that this 8 lb higher mark will be manageable.

Form: 0-67621

Solar Park^v⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55| D

10/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Bath (5f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 7-83482

(7)

David's Beauty^e/s1⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Robert Tart| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 52| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 12/1) 7 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time and back to a potentially lenient mark, but others preferred all the same.

Form: 1577-68

(5)

Atyaaf⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 51| D

7/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 6/1) 8 days ago. This 5 lb higher mark may be enough to anchor him here.

Form: 858-021

Forecasts

Under Curfew (11/4), Katherine Place (11/4), Atyaaf (7/2), Cool Spirit (9/2), Solar Park (10/1), David's Beauty (16/1), Indian Pursuit (18/1)

Having returned to form with a decisive success at Musselburgh, COOL SPIRIT should prove a tough nut to crack. He remains well treated judged on past exploits, despite going up 8 lb. Solar Park should be involved in the finish if backing up his latest effort at Bath, while Indian Pursuit will also be a threat if on-song.
