Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 65

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fourth of 9 in nursery (12/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) when last seen in October (gelded since). Cheekpieces on 1st time and improvement needed on debut for new yard.

Form: 30374-

Bearing Bob^h1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 64

9/2

Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 29 days ago. Was knocking on the door prior to that and will be a danger to all if the first-time hood has the desired effect.

Form: 67-2238

By Your Side¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 63

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 17 days ago, better placed than most. Makes tapeta debut and needs to raise his game a touch.

Form: 4895

Boudica Warrior^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (12.4f) 22 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut and others make more appeal.

Form: 8-25

Midgetonamission¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 62| CD

3/1

C&D winner in January. 13/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 17 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark.

Form: 311253

Gangway¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 62

9/2

Blinkered for 1st time, last of 13 in nursery at Kempton (8f, 10/1). Off 166 days ahead of this tapeta debut and now has a point to prove.

Form: 462560-

Eight Of Diamonds¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: S Woods| OR: 58

11/4

Good second of 8 in nursery (5/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) on latest start in November, slowly away. Gelded since and should be in the thick of things if able to build on that now moving back up in trip following a break.

Form: 597552-

Forecasts

Eight Of Diamonds (11/4), Midgetonamission (3/1), Gangway (9/2), Bearing Bob (9/2), By Your Side (8/1), Boudica Warrior (10/1), Herbertandflorence (33/1)

It's worth giving another chance to BEARING BOB, who appeared to be gearing up for a breakthrough success prior to misifirng over this C&D last month. Perhaps the addition of a hood will do the trick. Eight of Diamonds signed off last season with a good effort at Chelmsford and will be a threat if able to build on that. He is second choice ahead of the consistent Midgetonamission.
