10/1

Kempton winner at 2 yrs. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 25 days ago. Perhaps in danger of going the wrong way after a positive start for his new yard.

Form: 888-209

Axel Jacklin^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee| T: C Banham| OR: 54| BF| CD

15/8

4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/4) 16 days ago, almost battling back. Leading claims.

Form: 000-212

Power On⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 52| C

11/2

Course winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 40 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 09874-8

Royal Heart^p,h⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 52| D

4/1

Winner at Kempton in January. 6/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 5 days ago. Consistency hard to knock even if his strike rate isn't. Obvious place claims again at least.

Form: 3-63154

(5)

Harbour Storm⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Oliver Stammers| T: R Brisland| OR: 48| BF

3/1

Sole win over 6f at Wolverhampton (13 runs since that in 2018). Off 96 days. On a career-low mark and interesting to see any market support (well backed last 3 starts) on return.

Form: 859764-

Chetan³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, creditable 2¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Royal Heart in minor event at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 8000-75

(4)

On The Nose¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 45

20/1

Maiden. Showed very little for Adam West last year but has dropped in the weights and interesting to see if new yard can find a spark. Rider promising and the betting could tell a tale.

Form: 868067-

Nozieres^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 45

80/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 100/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Must improve.

Form: 99-9690

Forecasts

Axel Jacklin (15/8), Harbour Storm (3/1), Royal Heart (4/1), Power On (11/2), Eastern Star (8/1), Breckland (10/1), Chetan (14/1), On The Nose (20/1), Nozieres (80/1)

AXEL JACKLIN has a cracking record over C&D and makes plenty of appeal in his current form. Market support for Harbour Storm and/or On The Nose would be interesting, while Royal Heart seems sure to be in the mix again.
