Manaccan²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: A Kirby| T: J Ryan| OR: 102| D

14/1

Won minor event on July course last summer before limitations exposed in better company. Starts handicapping now but opening mark not particularly appealing.

Form: 43164-

Annaf¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 96| D

9/2

Dual winner at Newcastle, latest last month, and far from disgraced in better company at that course (6f) 15 days ago. Needs to prove himself on turf for first crack at handicapping now.

Form: 1214

(4)

Dig Two¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 92| C| D

12/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year but was below form on handicap debut behind Anadora here on return 17 days ago. Bit to prove now.

Form: 11202-7

(9)

Robjon¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 91

22/1

Posted creditable fifth to Anadora in C&D handicap latest but has still to add to his debut success and has little in hand off his current mark.

Form: 2433-65

(3)

Ernie's Valentine^t²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P & O Cole| OR: 90| D

9/1

Won 3 times from 6 starts last season but was below his best when last seen here in October and will need to find improvement to win off this mark.

Form: 106118-

(7)

Favourite Child^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 90| D

40/1

More exposed than most of her rivals and arrives on back of a tame effort at Bath.

Form: 2322-50

(12)

Anadora¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89| CD

9/1

Posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap (25/1) over C&D (good) 17 days ago by ½ length from Loves Me Likearock. 4 lb rise fair and likely to go well again.

Form: 72430-1

(10)

Loves Me Likearock¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 89| D

9/2

Scored twice last season and found improvement when ½-length second of 12 to Anadora in C&D handicap on her return 17 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 2115-2

Harry Three^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 89| D

9/1

Won both his races in 2021 and showed improved form when ½-length third of 12 to Anadora in handicap over C&D (good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Another to consider.

Form: 11-453

(2)

Wyvern¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 86| D

16/1

Took his form up a notch when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) last month. However, struggled in higher grade since and is yet to prove himself on turf.

Form: 6-21618

(11)

Vespasian¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: N Callan| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 83| D

17/2

Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in February and not seen to best effect when sixth in Lingfield handicap since. Interesting contender on turf debut.

Form: 3-1216

(6)

Ingra Tor²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M R Channon| OR: 82| D

13/2

Improved with each start thus far, latest when second of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Could be more to come on switch to handicapping.

Form: 9-12

(13)

Rainbow Colours¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78| D

33/1

Off the mark at Ripon in September and wasn't seen to best effect at Kempton next time. Others look better handicapped, though.

Form: 5215-

Loves Me Likearock (9/2), Annaf (9/2), Ingra Tor (13/2), Vespasian (17/2), Harry Three (9/1), Anadora (9/1), Ernie's Valentine (9/1), Dig Two (12/1), Manaccan (14/1), Wyvern (16/1), Robjon (22/1), Rainbow Colours (33/1), Favourite Child (40/1)

VESPASIAN has already scored twice this year and caught the eye from a poor draw at Lingfield last time. He is fancied to land the finale. Anadora and Loves Me Likearock head the list of dangers.
