Old News^b²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 77| D

9/1

11/2, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 25 days ago, just holding on. Looks vulnerable even after just a 3-lb rise.

Form: 48525-1

(1)

Mr Sensible²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73| CD

7/2

Won 14-runner handicap (8/1) at this C&D 29 days ago, keeping on well. That form looks solid and he should be well positioned, so capable of following up.

Form: 666341-

Starry Eyes¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Carson| OR: 73| D

33/1

First run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 5/1) 15 days ago. Has a bit to prove on the back of that.

Form: 43382-6

(3)

Visibility³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| CD

7/4

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 3 days ago, bit in hand. Carries penalty.

Form: 2944-21

(7)

Shuv H'penny King¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 72

7/1

Fourth of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, nearest finish. On a dangerous mark but far from certain to be in the same form.

Form: 36609-4

(2)

Sycamore⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 66

11/2

20/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 6 days ago, nearest finish. Can't be ignored from this mark, but needs to break on terms.

Form: 65469-4

(5)

Lady Alavesa²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: M Herrington| OR: 56| D

7/1

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 2 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred.

Form: 4557-75

Forecasts

Visibility (7/4), Mr Sensible (7/2), Sycamore (11/2), Shuv H'penny King (7/1), Lady Alavesa (7/1), Old News (9/1), Starry Eyes (33/1)

MR SENSIBLE returned from 5 months off (and a gelding operation) with an improved display to score over C&D in December, finding more than had often been the case previously, and he should take all the beating once more under another positive ride. Fellow last-time-out winners Visibility and Old News look the pick of the opposition.
