Fox Power⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| CD

5/2

Struck here on debut for yard in February. Sixth of 12 in good handicap at this course (8.6f, 16/1) 7 days ago, behind a couple (second/third) from stable in top form. Back down in grade.

Form: 460-146

Athmad²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 84| CD

3/1

Landed a third C&D success last month and added to his tally when dead-heating at Newcastle (10.2f, 3/1) 9 days later. 5/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at this C&D 2 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 5-36114

Nankeen⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 82| BF| CD

4/1

Two wins from 3 runs in 2021. Bit below form third of 6 on handicap debut at Chelmsford City (8f, 11/8) 63 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Longer trip should suit and worth another chance.

Form: 121-3

(5)

Lammas¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam J McNamara| T: D Loughnane| OR: 82

9/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. 11/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 11 days ago, unsuited by way race developed.

Form: 62-1104

33/1

Last of 12 in handicap (200/1) at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago. Poor strike rate. Hard to fancy.

28/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in October. Off 92 days. Back down in trip. Must improve.

Broomy Law^p1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 67

14/1

Quirky maiden, very well-bred. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On a good mark if reviving.

Form: 5-24539

Forecasts

Fox Power (5/2), Athmad (3/1), Precision Storm (4/1), Nankeen (4/1), Lammas (9/1), Broomy Law (14/1), Liberated Lad (28/1), Starry Eyes (33/1)

NANKEEN remains unexposed and could be worth another chance up in trip under a rider who has enjoyed plenty of success for the Crisford yard. Fox Power is interesting back down in grade, while maiden Broomy Law is very well treated if finding his feet again.
