4/1

Won 10-runner handicap (16/5) at this course (7f, AW) 11 days ago, keeping on well. Remains on a workable mark following a 6 lb rise and he's high on the shortlist.

Dubai Immo^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR: 71| BF

9/4

Respectable second of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 15/8) 4 days ago. Should give another good account, albeit without being quite good enough.

Beautiful Crown¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 69| C

14/1

Course winner. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 19 days ago. Readily passed over.

Nasim^v1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 69| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back now equipped with a visor.

Raqraaq³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 68

15/2

9/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 30 days ago. This 8-race maiden will probably find one or two too good once more.

Wholelotafun^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J S Moore| OR: 64| CD

16/1

C&D winner in November. Ninth of 10 in handicap, again over this C&D (AW, 20/1), 11 days ago. Still, he will be a danger to all if able to bounce back.

Luna Queen^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: C Allen| OR: 61| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Winner here in August. 11/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on and she looks vulnerable.

Blue Collar Lad³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland| OR: 60| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 17/2) 3 days ago, not ideally placed. One to consider.

Royal Debut⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood| T: Andi Brown| OR: 55

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, sixth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good) 83 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian and sizeable step forward needed now handicapping.

Dubai Immo (9/4), Free Solo (4/1), Blue Collar Lad (4/1), Nasim (13/2), Raqraaq (15/2), Beautiful Crown (14/1), Luna Queen (16/1), Wholelotafun (16/1), Royal Debut (33/1)

FREE SOLO did the job in good style when resuming winning ways over 7f here recently and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to pose a problem and still nicely treated off this 6 lb higher mark, he is taken to strike again. Blue Collar Lad followed his C&D success with a decent effort in defeat at Wolverhampton and should be in the mix once again. If able to bounce back, Wholelotafun could also play a part in the finish.
