Thaki^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 69| CD

15/2

Latest win at Newcastle in January. 5/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. C&D winner too, so he's not discounted.

Form: 1116-15

Some Nightmare⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Adam J McNamara| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 69| BF| CD

6/1

C&D winner who posted respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 86 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Ought to be competitive again.

(8)

Water Of Leith⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: R Menzies| OR: 69| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 12/1) 4 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Merits consideration as he bids to end a long losing run.

Form: 590-275

(2)

Royal Advice^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: G Hanmer| OR: 67| CD

Kodi Gold^t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| D

12/1

Latest win at Kempton in November. Respectable second of 6 in claimer (13/2) at this course (7.2f) 49 days ago on his final run for David Evans. Not taken lightly.

Form: 1902-22

Forecasts

Water Of Leith (7/2), Caribbean Sunset (11/2), Some Nightmare (6/1), Abduction (6/1), El Hombre (15/2), Thaki (15/2), Sir Sedric (17/2), Kodi Gold (12/1), Et Tu Brute (20/1), Royal Advice (25/1), Rebel Redemption (28/1), Boom The Groom (40/1)

CARIBBEAN SUNSET shaped well on his first run for Grant Tuer when runner-up at Newcastle and can go one better now off the same mark with that form having been franked. C&D scorer Some Nightmare didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth here when last seen in December and is feared most ahead of the handily-weighted Water of Leith.
