7/2

Course winner who got back on track when 2½ lengths fourth of 12 to Daafy in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 32 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt.

Form: 2011-04

22/1

Unreliable type who ran a typical race when sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 16/1) 27 days ago, very slowly away.

Form: 5667-46

Dick Datchery⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 63

40/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 53 days ago. Hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 94290-9

(7)

Key Look^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 63| D

9/1

Four wins from 17 runs last year. Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Should be much closer to form here and shortlisted.

Form: 71221-7

(9)

Harvest Day⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62| D

6/1

Latest win at Newcastle in December. Ran at least as well when fourth there (7.1f) a month later and is still well treated on old form. Considered.

Form: 77341-4

Daafy^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 58| BF| CD

13/8

Thriving sort who was unlucky not to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 10 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Can gain compensation.

Form: 741512

Trevie Fountain^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| D

11/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 19 days ago. Needs to back that up now.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 52| D

10/1

Lofty^p,t⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: L Morgan| OR: 51| D

22/1

Ungenuine type. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 68 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 50200-0

Lynchpin⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Leech| OR: 45

20/1

25/1, shaped as if better for the run on first start since leaving Lydia Pearce after 27 months off when ninth of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 40 days ago. Down in trip.

Form: 00445/9

Forecasts

Daafy (13/8), Patontheback (7/2), Harvest Day (6/1), Crunchie (7/1), Key Look (9/1), The Big House (10/1), Trevie Fountain (11/1), Lynchpin (20/1), Rectory Road (22/1), Lofty (22/1), Dick Datchery (40/1), Exchequer (80/1)

DAAFY was unlucky not to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts over C&D 10 days ago, having been caught further back than ideal, so he remains of firm interest. Harvest Day is still well treated on old form and must enter calculations, along with Key Look, who was in top form in the autumn and should be sharper for a recent comeback run.
