Luscifer^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: R Harris| OR: 55| D

11/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at this course (1m) 21 days ago, ridden over 2f out but never a threat. Re-fitted blinkers may perk him up now. Interesting.

Form: 5225-48

Eastern Star¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

14/1

Ungenuine type. 14/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 12 days ago. Return to 7f will hold no fears but not ideally drawn in stall 14.

Form: 0246-33

(8)

Fact Or Fable^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 52| C| D

10/1

Course winner. Latest win here in February. 17/2, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 21 days ago, always behind. This looks less demanding at least.

Form: 124410

No Diggity^b²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 52| C| D

11/1

Confirmed promise of previous exploits when running out a good winner over 1m here in January. Only fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 3 weeks ago but no forlorn hope back here.

Form: 2-22195

(3)

Royal Heart^p,h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 51| CD

13/2

C&D winner in January. 4/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 7 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 631544

Julie Johnston^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 48

25/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 16/1) 18 days ago. weakening final 100 yds. Now operating from a career-low mark at least.

Form: 97-9659

(10)

Ghepardo^p⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 48| C

100/1

Course winner. Last of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 100/1) 44 days ago, going with little fluency and always behind. Needs to leave that effort in her wake to figure.

Form: 69867-0

(13)

Hunters Step⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: H Spiller| OR: 47| D

33/1

Thirteenth of 14 in minor event (17/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 49 days ago, slowly away. Not ideally drawn in stall 13 and others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 6979-50

(5)

Rainbow Sign^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Joshua Bryan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 47

7/1

16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, very good second of 10 in minor event at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 33755-2

(9)

Swiss Rowe^p¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 46

9/1

Maiden. Well-backed 4/1, just seventh of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 1 day ago.

Form: 03-2307

(7)

Reformed Character^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: P Leech| OR: 46

9/1

16/1, respectable fourth of 15 in minor event at Chelmsford (1m) in February, ridden 2f out and one paced. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 9599/34

(2)

Chloellie^v⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45| CD

9/2

5-time course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 8 in minor event (8/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 6 days ago, headway 1f out and keeping on. A repeat can see her in the mix.

Form: 67-7342

(6)

The Game Of Life^p,t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Herrington| OR: 45| D

17/2

Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fourth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 7/1) 6 days ago, albeit never close enough to challenge. Returns to handicaps now.

Form: 327564

Forecasts

Chloellie (9/2), Luscifer (11/2), Royal Heart (13/2), Rainbow Sign (7/1), The Game Of Life (17/2), Swiss Rowe (9/1), Reformed Character (9/1), Fact Or Fable (10/1), No Diggity (11/1), Dubai Elegance (12/1), Eastern Star (14/1), Julie Johnston (25/1), Hunters Step (33/1), Ghepardo (100/1)

LUSCIFER drops in grade and could be worth chancing with the in-form Jason Watson up for the first time. Rainbow Sign should be in the mix again, while Royal Heart can give another good account of himself.
