Twilight Heir²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: S Durack| OR: 75| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good, 33/1) 24 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 140-890

Impeach^b,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: C Allen| OR: 74| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 7/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 161257

(7)

Lockdown^h,t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 73| D

4/1

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Entitled to come on for that (first run for six months) and he's firmly in calculations.

Form: 6/8130-5

Swiss Pride^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R A Teal| OR: 73| CD

18/5

Five-time C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 4/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 47 days ago, left poorly placed. Dropped to a handy mark, but looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 3-58666

(3)

Vandad^p,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 72| C

20/1

Course winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 14/1) 20 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 374-599

(5)

Winnetka⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| D

7/1

11/2, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 9 days ago. Obvious claims under a penalty, for all that his AW strike rate (0-17) somewhat tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 09-4731

(6)

Soyounique^t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: S C Williams| OR: 63| C| D

9/4

Course winner. 5/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 4 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once again.

Form: 324832

Forecasts

Soyounique (9/4), Swiss Pride (18/5), Lockdown (4/1), Impeach (5/1), Winnetka (7/1), Twilight Heir (16/1), Vandad (20/1)

The vote goes to LOCKDOWN, who travelled well for a long way before fading in the closing stages when fifth on his reappearance over 7f at Kempton. On that evidence, this drop back in trip looks a good move and he should be a little sharper with that run under his belt. Winnetka is bound to be popular following last week's clear-cut Windsor success and, though 0-17 on the all-weather, he wasn't beaten at all far here on his penultimate start. Soyounique also merits respect.
