13/2

Won 3 times this winter, including over this trip at Wolverhampton. 11/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago, running on. Should give another good account.

Winner at Wolverhampton in November and followed up in Newcastle apprentice event (both 7f) last Friday. Escapes a penalty so every chance of hat-trick if in similar form.

Back From Dubai²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: S R Bowring| OR: 58| C

11/4

Racked up a hat-trick of C&D wins last month. Further 3 lb rise unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for the 4-timer.

Form: 867-111

40/1

Modest maiden at up to 7f for John Quinn. Starts out for new stable after 139 days off. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 52| CD

10/1

Won 9-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago but even a small rise may find him out in what looks a more competitive race this time.

Forecasts

Viva Voce (5/2), Back From Dubai (11/4), Ginato (6/1), Love Your Work (6/1), Porfin (13/2), Always Dreaming (8/1), Morjhana (17/2), Bobby Joe Leg (10/1), Distinction (20/1), Dreamcasing (25/1), Shackabooah (28/1), Tommytwohoots (40/1)

This looks competitive for the grade. VIVA VOCE escapes a penalty for his Newcastle win a week ago so he gets the nod to complete a hat-trick but there are plenty of potential dangers, headed by Back From Dubai who is bidding for a course 4-timer. Love Your Work is another with recent winning course form, while Ginato shaped well at Newcastle last time and has Tom Marquand up.
