Sayifyouwill¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 70| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) in September, weakening when not clear run final 1f. Now operating back on last winning mark and no forlorn hope back from a break.

Form: 144557-

Latent Heat¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| D

11/4

Temperamental sort. 4/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 19 days ago, quickening to lead final 1f and keeping on. Could go well again.

Form: 4062-21

(9)

Los Camachos^b³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 69| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 10/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago. Needs to bounce back in refitted blinkers.

Form: 3528-28

Blue Flame⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 67| D

7/4

One win from 3 runs last year. 3/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 57 days ago, finding extra. Very low-mileage for a 5-y-o and high on shortlist again.

Form: 57/621-

(7)

Dewey Road¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 64| C

7/2

Course winner. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f) 17 days ago, not getting the run of things on the front end. However, mark has eased a little more and not discounted.

Form: 970-534

Dutugamunu²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Joshua Bryan| T: L Carter| OR: 63

28/1

Dual 1m winner on AW for Richard Spencer. Not at very best in 2 starts upon joining new yard, sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 25 days ago.

Form: 38488-6

(3)

Gold Coast²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62

50/1

50/1, last of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago, easy to back and never a threat on the back of 10 months off. Worth noting when the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 78240-0

(8)

Critical Thinking^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60| D

11/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal.

Form: 704-584

Forecasts

Blue Flame (7/4), Latent Heat (11/4), Dewey Road (7/2), Sayifyouwill (9/1), Critical Thinking (11/1), Wudashudacuda (12/1), Los Camachos (14/1), Dutugamunu (28/1), Gold Coast (50/1)

BLUE FLAME showed a willing attitude when getting off the mark over this trip at Newcastle in December and he's taken to continue the good work with Marco Ghiani again in the plate. Latent Heat is in good order and rates a threat, along with the returning Sayifyouwill.
