Mondammej^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 102| D

7/2

Five wins in very productive 2021, including smart effort in Wolverhampton handicap in November. Respectable second of 5 in conditions event at Newcastle (5f, 4/1) 22 days ago.

Form: 01011-2

Fernando Rah¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 97| CD

10/11

C&D winner in December. Creditable second of 5 in 6f conditions event at Kempton since, the way he travelled suggesting this drop back to the minimum trip is ideal. Should go well.

Form: 12631-2

Caroline Dale⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 90| DWS

12/1

Good ½-length third of 6 to reopposing Mondammej in Wolverhampton (5f) in November. Has subsequently undergone wind surgery. Should be in the mix.

Form: 3/82733-

Mulzim²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Murphy| OR: 87| CD

25/1

Six-time winner here when the fibresand was down but there are doubts as to whether he's as effecitve on tapeta, finishing well held over C&D on New Year's Day.

Form: 62906-0

Copinet^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84| BF| D

15/2

Latest win at Chelmsford in December. 10/3, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap there (5f) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Merits consideration.

Form: 53461-4

No Speed Limit^v³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: P J McKenna| OR: 74

13/2

Fairly useful performer who has been very consistent on Dundalk's AW in recent months, including runner-up effort on Friday. Makes tapeta debut. Looks to have a bit on his plate from out of handicap.

Form: 3222-32

Forecasts

Fernando Rah (10/11), Mondammej (7/2), No Speed Limit (13/2), Copinet (15/2), Caroline Dale (12/1), Mulzim (25/1)

FERNANDO RAH has a progressive profile over the minimum trip and could prove the answer to this useful handicap returned to the scene of his win last month. Copinet and Mondammej can give Clive Cox's representative most to think about.
