Wrath Of Hector¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 56| CD

Heer's Sadie²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 53| CD

10/3

C&D winner. 5/1, bit below form 4¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Wrath of Hector over C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago but had been a good second here prior to that.

Form: 556-726

(8)

Bernard Spierpoint^v⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Wallis| OR: 53

12/1

Three AW wins at the turn of the year. Hasn't hit the same heights since but Tom Marquand is an interesting booking. Keep an eye on in betting.

Jack Ryan^b²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 50| C| D

11/1

Course winner. Ran as if amiss at Brighton last time but the booking of leading apprentice Benoit De La Sayette takes the eye here.

(2)

Bankrupt²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 52

33/1

Continues to fall in the weights without much sign of taking advantage, finishing a well-held seventh of 9 at Leicester (7f) last time.

Form: 665977

Tilsworth Lorraine^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

Forecasts

Wrath Of Hector (11/8), Dark Design (10/3), Heer's Sadie (10/3), Jack Ryan (11/1), Bernard Spierpoint (12/1), Elsaab (16/1), Bankrupt (33/1), Tilsworth Lorraine (200/1)

The handicapper might have been kind leaving DARK DESIGN on the same mark as when second over 7f here a fortnight ago and he gets the nod in this finale. Wrath of Hector won over C&D on what was effectively his latest outing (unseated start here since) and is feared most ahead of Bernard Spierpoint, for whom Tom Marquand is an interesting booking.
