Billy Dylan^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 47| D

8/1

Modest gelding. Thirty-two runs since last win in 2018. Eighth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (5f, 33/1) 11 days ago. Opposable on balance.

Form: 38299-8

Farhhsical^e/s1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

66/1

Last of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 16 days ago. Eyeshields on for 1st time and hopes very much pinned on the new headgear sparking improvement.

Form: 25050-0

First Verse¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

6/1

Modest filly. Seventh of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 15/2) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter if she's to have a significant say in the finish.

Form: 242-457

(9)

Hurricane Alert^p³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: Frank Bishop| OR: 35| D

300/1

Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2019. Last of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 300/1) 31 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 09-7970

Mr Pc⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

7/2

Modest gelding. Below form seventh of 12 in minor event (8/1) at Southwell (5f) 47 days ago. Went close over C&D on penultimate start and reproduction of that effort would give him a real chance.

Form: 0000-27

Nellie French¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 50| CD

4/1

Modest mare. C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year, the latest at Newcastle in February. 7/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Big chance in this grade.

Form: 30-6915

(10)

Qaaraat¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 47| CD

7/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Thirty-nine runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, creditable fourth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (5f) 11 days ago. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 355374

(5)

Super Julius^p²⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 49| CD

9/4

Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. 7/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D, missing break. Off 9 months, but possibilities if on a going day.

Form: 704669-

(3)

Surewecan^p⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 43

33/1

Poor gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 11/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 44 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 255-756

(7)

Swooper^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 42| D

80/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (5f) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Hard to warm to.

Form: 7800-90

Forecasts

Super Julius (9/4), Mr Pc (7/2), Nellie French (4/1), First Verse (6/1), Qaaraat (7/1), Billy Dylan (8/1), Surewecan (33/1), Farhhsical (66/1), Swooper (80/1), Hurricane Alert (300/1)

NELLIE FRENCH wasn't at her best at Newcastle last time, but was successful there on her penultimate start and makes plenty of appeal back at a course where she has won twice and been placed twice from six visits. Mr Pc will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his C&D near miss in January. Qaaraat and Super Julius are each-way contenders.
