Chairmanoftheboard¹⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M R Channon| OR: 95| D

15/2

Ended 2021 in a rich vein of form (fourth over C&D on final outing) and will probably more forward than most, so he's a definite player back down in grade.

Form: 553214-

(5)

Pendleton¹⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 92| D

11/2

Largely disappointing towards the end of last season, meaning he's edged back to a good mark ahead of this return. Has gone well fresh in the past, so worth monitoring in the betting.

Form: 008594-

(9)

Cold Stare^t¹⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| D

25/1

Scored twice last season and ran creditably over 7f at this course on final appearance. Needs a career-best performance returning from almost 5 months off, so it's a big ask.

Form: 121005-

(7)

Bergerac¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89| D

9/2

Latest win at York in September. Hasn't matched it since but he's only 1 lb higher and he finished well over an inadequate trip at Southwell on reappearance. Bold showing expected.

Form: 22109-3

(8)

Kind Review⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 89| D

28/1

Signed off for Tracy Waggott with a win at Southwell in December and he has performed respectably on both outings for current yard. Doesn't see to hold any secrets from the handicapper, though.

Form: 7241-45

(15)

Woven¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 88

9/1

Nicely handicapped and was doing some good late work when second to Charmanoftheboard at Haydock over 5 months ago. Capable of taking a hand if things drop right.

Form: 592002-

(10)

Ey Up It's Maggie^p¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 87

10/1

Reliable filly who gained some reward for her consistency when scoring in the mud at Leicester 5 months ago. Might do better again as a 4yo, but there's no guarantee that she'll be tuned up for this.

Form: 356431-

(18)

Internationaldream¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

14/1

Generally held his form despite going winless in 2021, not ideally placed at this track on final start. Stable has enjoyed plenty of success in the past at this meeting, so warrants consideration.

Form: 093620-

(13)

Wentworth Falls^p¹⁵⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 85| CD

33/1

Three-time C&D winner who was better than the result on his final outing last season. Tends to come on for his first run back, though.

Form: 652130-

(2)

Tipperary Tiger^v³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 84| BF| CD

9/1

Likeable type who has remained in form since scoring at Southwell in January. Should be just as good returned to turf, so he ranks as a major player in an open race.

Form: 21-4124

(12)

Mokaatil¹⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 84| D

50/1

Fairly useful on his day but failed to beat a rival on each of his last 3 outings in 2021. Will probably need this return, too, so hard to make a case for.

Form: 106006-

(6)

Bernardo O'Reilly¹⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 84| CD

12/1

Useful and consistent operator who returns on a handy mark and has scored over C&D in the past. Run of the race should suit and it will be no great surprise if he's ready to go on reappearance.

Form: 249230-

(3)

Devil's Angel⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 82| D

16/1

Good strike rate last season and, while his current mark demands more, he has a fitness edge on some of his rival having run respectably at Newcastle last month. Can't be discounted.

Form: 91518-3

(1)

Uncle Jumbo¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 82| CD

25/1

Winless since his debut and ended his time with Kevin Ryan below form. Will probably strip fitter for this stable/seasonal debut.

Form: 330056-

(4)

Fortamour²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 81| D

18/1

Finished last season well and wasn't completely disgraced when seventh at Newcastle on reappearance. Should be fully tuned up now, and a well-run race will suit.

Form: 15072-7

(11)

Mudlahhim¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 80

50/1

Landed a claimer at Wolverhampton in January but has looked no more than averagely treated since. Others make more appeal for all his fitness is assured.

Form: 417475

(16)

Ghathanfar¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 77| D

14/1

Down the weights but not enough encouragement on either start this season to think he can take a hand in this competitive event.

Form: 3586-55

(17)

Spring Bloom¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Eddery| OR: 75

12/1

Infrequent winner who posted a good effort when second at Newmarket 6 months ago. Drawn on the wing, but if he's fit and able to get prominent early, he could get involved.

Form: 923222-

Forecasts

Bergerac (9/2), Pendleton (11/2), Chairmanoftheboard (15/2), Woven (9/1), Tipperary Tiger (9/1), Ey Up It's Maggie (10/1), Bernardo O'Reilly (12/1), Spring Bloom (12/1), Ghathanfar (14/1), Internationaldream (14/1), Devil's Angel (16/1), Fortamour (18/1), Cold Stare (25/1), Uncle Jumbo (25/1), Kind Review (28/1), Wentworth Falls (33/1), Mokaatil (50/1), Mudlahhim (50/1)

BERGERAC scored from a similar mark last autumn and completed the ideal prep' run when staying on well for third over 5f at Southwell recently. Now back at his ideal distance, he gets the vote ahead of the in-form Tipperary Tiger, with Woven regarded as the pick of those making their seasonal debut.
