Eeh Bah Gum^b1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 58| D

11/2

Unreliable type. Twenty five runs since last win in 2018. 11/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago, finding little. Blinkers may well have positive effect now.

Form: 8300-27

Cool Spirit^h¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 57| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Tailed-off last of 9 to Brandy Station in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, rearing badly and losing all chance start. Not discounted with a repeat of his Lingfield effort previously

Form: 9-52419

Brandy Station^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 56| CD

6/1

3-time C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, asserting final 100 yds. Has backed up well previously and possibilities once more.

Form: 060-031

Aces^b,t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Wallis| OR: 56| D

12/1

Latest win at Chelmsford (6f) in December. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/1) 21 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 4621-07

San Juan^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52| CD

9/2

Three wins from 12 runs last year. 11/2, not disgraced fifth of 8 on yard debut in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago, effort flattening out late on. May step up on that and not discounted.

Form: 16037-5

Louis Treize^h,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: R Menzies| OR: 51| CD

9/4

Not the most reliable but put it together to end losing run over C&D 11 days ago, travelling strongly and quickening to lead line. Rates a live player back in a handicap with a repeat.

Form: 7-54471

Gossip^b1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 47| CD

28/1

C&D winner. 7¾ lengths last of 11 to Louis Treize in minor event at this C&D (16/1) 11 days ago, weakening 1f out. Fitting of first-time blinkers needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 886-000

Forecasts

Louis Treize (9/4), San Juan (9/2), Eeh Bah Gum (11/2), Brandy Station (6/1), Cool Spirit (6/1), Lorna Cole (10/1), Aces (12/1), Moveonup (28/1), Gossip (28/1), Charlemaine (40/1), Campachoochoo (66/1)

BRANDY STATION confirmed the promise of his penultimate start when scoring over C&D 11 days ago and, having backed up well quickly in the past, it would come as no surprise to see him firmly in the mix once more. Louis Treize comes with risks attached but is clearly in good heart judged by his narrow win here latest. San Juan is also fancied to feature.
