Tell'em Nowt^b,e/s,t⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P S McEntee| OR: 67| C

4/1

In very good form at present, making it 4 wins in 5 starts (including win here) when getting the better of a head bob at Newcastle 4 days ago. 5 lb penalty but can't rule out in current mood.

Form: 714-111

Maple Jack¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 70| D

6/1

Musselburgh maiden winner last spring but not seen again until eighth of 10 in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Might be sharper for the run and not discounted as an unexposed sort.

Form: 471-8

Nubough^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 68

12/1

Snapped a long losing run in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f) on New Year's Eve, digging deep. Likely to remain competitive after a 3 lb rise.

Form: 506231-

Moonraker^p²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| CD

33/1

Five-time C&D winner (all fibresand). Third on the new surface here in December but below par twice since.

Form: 9203-96

Scale Force^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 66| CD

4/1

Won this 12 months ago (on fibresand). Warmed up for his defence with a creditable third at Wolverhampton a week ago. Has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 406-943

Gowanlad^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: P A Kirby| OR: 66

28/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 63327-8

Jeans Maite¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 65| CD

15/8

Four wins last year and career best when adding to her tally in C&D handicap 12 days ago. Did that easily and the form has been boosted so even an 8 lb rise may not stop her.

Form: 0162-51

(4)

Red Walls¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: L Williamson| OR: 63| CD

14/1

Career best when winning 9-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago, driven out. Yet to win back to back in his career.

Form: 31407-1

Snow Berry^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| D

25/1

Three wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win at Bath in September. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 16/1) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 98110-5

(8)

Gossip^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 50| CD

80/1

C&D winner (fibresand). 14/1, last of 14 in C&D handicap 28 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 49886-0

(9)

Qaaraat^v⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 50| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Thirty five runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, last of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 8 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 663-435

Weight: 9-9| Age: 4

T: K Dalgleish J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Jeans Maite (15/8), Scale Force (4/1), Tell'em Nowt (4/1), Maple Jack (6/1), Denzil's Laughing (8/1), Nubough (12/1), Red Walls (14/1), Snow Berry (25/1), Gowanlad (28/1), Qaaraat (28/1), Moonraker (33/1), Gossip (80/1)

JEANS MAITE won comfortably here last time and the form was franked when the fourth went in at Lingfield last week so even an 8 lb rise may not stop Roy Bowring's front runner if showing up in similar form. Scale Force, who won this race off an identical mark 12 months ago, Maple Jack and the thriving Tell'em Nowt head the dangers in a competitive opener.
