Wether Fell²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 74

14/1

Maiden who proved disappointing on 3 of his 4 starts on turf last summer. However, remains low-mileage on AW and returns with yard going along nicely, so no forlorn hope.

Visibility²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| BF| C

3/1

Ended losing run from 5 lb lower mark over 1m here in January and dispelled a lesser effort next time when runner-up behind an in-form sort here on Thursday. Claims with a repeat turned out quickly.

Form: 44-2172

Fangorn¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 71| D

13/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 14/1, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at Goodwood (1m) in October, the trip/soft ground plausible excuses. Still, remains unexposed on AW and not discounted on return.

Custard The Dragon^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Mackie| OR: 71| CD

10/3

Goes particularly well here, adding to his tally over C&D in January. 13/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago and expected to give a good account once more.

Form: 1022-12

Chookie Dunedin⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 69| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 9/2, not seen to best effect when 5½ lengths seventh of 13 to Custard The Dragon back here in January, failing to get across from wide draw. Not dismissed if getting good gallop to aim at.

Form: 5091-67

(7)

Wrath Of Hector^v⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 61| CD

14/1

Course winner who has been well below his best in recent months, never dangerous when eleventh of 13 in a C&D handicap in January. Can only be watched until showing more despite sliding mark.

Form: 6008-00

Daafy^v²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 58| CD

3/1

Back to winning ways over 1m here in January and went in again over C&D 3 weeks ago, leading under 2f out and always holding on. Only 2 lb higher now and expected to make his presence felt again.

Form: 4-74151

Forecasts

Daafy (3/1), Visibility (3/1), Custard The Dragon (10/3), Fangorn (13/2), Muhalhel (13/2), Chookie Dunedin (15/2), Wrath Of Hector (14/1), Wether Fell (14/1)

DAAFY posted a career-best display when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts over C&D 3 weeks ago and, from a 2 lb higher mark, he may well be up to going in again in this groove. Wether Fell and Fangorn are interesting returning from breaks, whilst Visibility ran well here on Thursday and can also figure.
