Radetsky¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 68| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner. Wasn't seen to best effect after 5 months off when tenth of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 17 days ago, going off too hard. Merits consideration.

Form: 9/60880-

Kodi Gold^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 65| BF

7/2

Latest win at Kempton in November. 11/4, shaped better than the bare result when second of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 8 days ago, left with lot to do. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 661902-

Ellie Piper¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 56

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden (18/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm). Off 142 days. Capable of better but up against it on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Radetsky (5/2), Kodi Gold (7/2), Princesse Animale (5/1), Perfect Focus (13/2), Canagat (7/1), Juan Les Pins (10/1), Porterinthejungle (12/1), Wudashudacuda (22/1), Ellie Piper (50/1)

KODI GOLD was unlucky not to reward his supporters when finishing a staying-on second at this track 8 days ago, always on the back foot after a slow start but doing his best work late on. Provided he gets away on terms, David Evans' charge could take some stopping. Radetsky went off too hard on reappearance at Southwell last month so he can provide the main threat, ahead of Porterinthejungle.
