Beatrix Enchante^h⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 47

80/1

No show in 3 maiden/novice events over 2 years apart. More chance at this level but still hard to fancy.

Form: 80/0-

Broughtons Compass^v1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 39

12/1

Remains a maiden after 23 runs. 25/1, first run since leaving Mark Hoad when ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 21 days ago. Visor on first time. Worth keeping an eye on in betting.

Form: 04590/9-

(6)

5/1

First run since leaving Lydia Pearce when eleventh of 14 in handicap (50/1) at this course (7f) 19 days ago. Needs to leave that effort behind.

Form: 65323/0-

(11)

Chloellie²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 42| C

11/4

Five-time course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 15/2, better signs when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to go well.

Form: 665067-

Haraz³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: P Butler| OR: 40| D

Mr Dib Dab^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 45

11/4

Unreliable individual. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 26 days ago. Each-way claims in this line-up.

(2)

Ness Ta Rah⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Winston| T: J & S Best| OR: 12

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Mohamed Moubarak when tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 805/0-

(7)

Powerful Hero¹³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 39

18/1

Little show in 3 outings at up to 7f on turf last summer but it certainly wouldn't be a shock to see him fare better at this lower level on his return to action. Needs monitoring in betting.

Form: 890-

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: R Brisland| OR: 48

Forecasts

Mr Dib Dab (11/4), Chloellie (11/4), Swiss Rowe (7/2), Chateau Peapod (5/1), Olly's Folly (6/1), Roundel (9/1), Broughtons Compass (12/1), Powerful Hero (18/1), Kingston Kurrajong (25/1), Beatrix Enchante (80/1), Haraz (100/1), Ness Ta Rah (150/1)

The vote goes to CHLOELLIE who has a fine course record and hinted at a revival at Wolverhampton last time. The draw could have been kinder to Swiss Rowe but he has fewer convictions than most of these and ran well in a Wolverhampton handicap last time. Broughtons Compass hasn't long been with Gary Moore and could also play a part.
