15/8

Dual AW winner last year for Mark Johnston. Good second at Chelmsford (10f) when last seen 172 days ago. Starts out for new stable (same owners) and could figure under in-form rider.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Christian Howarth| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 79| CD

5/2

4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 10/1) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth considering.

Form: 2-14675

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 78| CD

11/1

4-time course winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. Eighth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 17 days ago, very slowly away. Blinkers back on. Could figure.

Form: 1-23748

10/1

C&D winner. 22/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 51 days ago, missing break. Others more persuasive.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Mr Lewis Kent⁽⁵⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 72

8/1

Dual winner on turf but patchy profile. First run for 158 days/tapeta debut. Stamina to prove and might need this.

Crackling²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Luke Catton| T: S Dixon| OR: 67

33/1

Yet to find his feet for current yard so easy to have reservations. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 065460

Swinton Noon^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Erika Parkinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

20/1

Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (33/1) at Windsor (10f, good) 14 days ago. Out of sorts.

Forecasts

Ghost Rider (15/8), Daheer (5/2), Harbour Vision (13/2), Diffident Spirit (8/1), Global Art (10/1), Hector's Here (11/1), Swinton Noon (20/1), Crackling (33/1)

GHOST RIDER reappears in a very winnable handicap with an in-form apprentice up and could be the way to go. Daheer and Hector's Here are a couple of others to consider.
