Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S Lycett| OR: 57| CD

13/2

13/2, landed 6-runner handicap at this course (16f) 12 days ago, very much having run of race. Back down in trip but can't be discounted.

Form: 12746-1

Silent Partner¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 56WS

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f) 173 days ago on his final run for Tony Carroll. Makes polytrack debut with work to do.

Form: 3/2345-

Eltham Palace¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D M Simcock| OR: 53

4/1

Good second of 6 in minor event (4/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago. Shortlist material in her bid for a maiden success.

Form: 25235-2

Severus Alexander^t⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 53| D

40/1

It's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2019, and only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 55 days ago. Back down in trip and others appeal more.

Form: 687730-

Trouble Shooter^v⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 52| C| D

Course winner but comes here in poor form over hurdles. Needs to get back on track returned to this sphere.

Blazer Two⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 53

3/1

Yet to score, but he's knocking on the door, second of 12 in handicap over C&D 56 days ago. That form has worked out well, so he merits serious consideration nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 947222-

Fred Bear²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 53

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden on the level but fair 2m winner over hurdles who comes here in good nick from that sphere. Possibilities.

El Paco¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: R Rowe| OR: 46

15/8

Winner at Wolverhampton in December and continues in good nick, tongue strap on when second of 11 over C&D 12 days ago. Holds solid claims.

Form: 5312-22

Ivahunch^h,t1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45

33/1

First run since leaving Paul Webber when only eighth of 9 in minor event (18/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip with tongue strap on and more required.

Form: 07007/8

(3)

Santorini Sal¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

80/1

Remains a maiden after 18 runs. Only eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 100/1) 17 days ago, so others are much preferred.

Form: 0/008-98

Doyouknowmyuncles³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 45

66/1

Poor maiden. Modest sixth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 37 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 06006-

Forecasts

Reset Button (15/8), Blazer Two (3/1), Eltham Palace (4/1), Liva (13/2), Fred Bear (11/1), Silent Partner (25/1), Ivahunch (33/1), Severus Alexander (40/1), Trouble Shooter (40/1), El Paco (66/1), Doyouknowmyuncles (66/1), Santorini Sal (80/1)

BLAZER TWO is taken to gain a deserved first success and end a run of three consecutive second placings with the form of his most recent C&D effort proving strong. Reset Button also arrives in excellent order and rates a big threat, with another in-form maiden Eltham Palace weighted to go well too.
