Arzaak^b¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 46| CD

8/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago, never nearer. Each-way chance.

Form: 632355

Cappananty Con^p⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 50| D

7/2

Fair gelding. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 52 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip and he's the one to beat on these terms.

Form: 688226

Age: 11| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: G Deacon| OR: 45| D

40/1

Modest gelding. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 40 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Hot Hot Hot²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

10/3

Modest mare. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 10/1) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Should be in the shake-up, albeit without being quite good enough.

Form: 653235

(8)

Moveonup^b³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 45| D

12/1

Modest gelding. Latest win at Southwell in February. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 22/1) 33 days ago. Place possibilities.

Ness Ta Rah^v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Quinn| T: J & S Best| OR: 18

150/1

200/1, last of 5 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 11 days ago. Back down in trip and visored for 1st time. Impossible to fancy.

Form: 0-00005

(9)

Nigg Bay^b,e/s,t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 47| D

2/1

Modest gelding. Twenty-five runs since last win in 2019. 17/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 7 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Entitled to have a say in the finish.

Form: 6-94943

(4)

Ocean Wilde^v⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 40| CD

14/1

Temperamental sort. C&D winner. One win from 26 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 42 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 5-00688

(5)

Thegreyvtrain¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 46| D

10/1

Modest mare. Latest win at Lingfield in January. 28/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back, but place money would be a possibility if she were to do so.

Form: 231600

Hope Springs⁷

Weight: 9-4| Age: 4

T: J R Boyle J: P Cosgrave

Forecasts

Nigg Bay (2/1), Hot Hot Hot (10/3), Cappananty Con (7/2), Hope Springs (6/1), Arzaak (8/1), Thegreyvtrain (10/1), Moveonup (12/1), Ocean Wilde (14/1), Captain Ryan (40/1), Ness Ta Rah (150/1)

CAPPANANTY CON hasn't got his head in front for a while and his strike rate on turf is hardly compelling, but he has performed well at this course on more than one occasion in the past and is the clear pick at the weights. Nigg Bay put in good late work when third over 6f here last week and should be in the mix if coping with this drop back in trip. Hope Springs is third choice.
