Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 63

7/4

Ex-Irish gelding hasn't yet matched his peak form for current yard. Caught wider than ideal when seventh of 14 at Pontefract (5f, soft) 13 days ago. Not one to write off kept to this trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61| D

2/1

Four wins from 19 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in November. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Shortlist material.

3-time C&D winner but ended last season in dreadful form and looks hard to fancy on return.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 51

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 300/1 and hooded for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 44 days ago. Makes turf/handicap debut. Achieved very little to date.

Form: P-055

Sharrabang⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 48| D

15/2

Three wins from 12 runs last year, including on return to turf at Carlisle. Below form on all-weather last 2 outings but feasibly weighted if bouncing back after a break.

Form: 6304-07

(4)

Mansfield¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 46| D

12/1

Has a strike rate of 4 wins from 76 runs but was a creditable third of 20 in handicap (66/1) at Redcar (6f, good) 13 days ago and a similar effort should see him in the mix again here.

Form: 676393

Forecasts

Burj Malinka (7/4), Morty (2/1), Sharrabang (15/2), Shesadabber (9/1), Latin Five (9/1), Mansfield (12/1), Slainte Mhath (25/1)

MORTY was progressive on all-weather in the winter and confirmed that improvement back on turf when second at Wetherby last week. He's taken to strike. The veteran Mansfield should be in the mix again if reproducing the form of his recent Redcar third, whilst Burj Malinka is interesting if proving fully effective over the minimum trip.
