Punxsutawney Phil²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| C

13/2

Fairly useful winner over hurdles/fair winning chaser. Having his second start on the level, won 6-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 11/2) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Significantly down in trip which may not be ideal.

Form: 6/1-

Delphi Dreamer²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: D M Loughnane

20/1

4/1, still needed experience when fourth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago, not unduly punished. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 24-

Notimeforanother⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish

100/1

Fair form when runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers at Market Rasen (13f) in October. However, always behind when last of 7 in minor event (25/1) at this C&D on Flat debut 7 days ago. Best watched.

1/1

11/2, run best excused when fourth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (1m) last time (struck into himself on the way to post). Off 110 days. First run for yard after leaving Brian Meehan. Can get off the mark.

Yakhabar⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: L Bailey| OR: 70

40/1

Off a further 4 months, modest form when fourth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 55 days ago, again slowly away. Looks to face a tough task.

Form: 5/34-

Forecasts

Regal Rambler (1/1), First Dynasty (10/3), Endued (5/1), Punxsutawney Phil (13/2), Delphi Dreamer (20/1), Yakhabar (40/1), Notimeforanother (100/1)

Having had an excuse for his latest run, REGAL RAMBLER is well worth another chance to build on the promise of his previous runner-up effort at Chelmsford and he can get off the mark on his stable debut. Delphi Dreamer also remains open to improvement and could be the main danger, ahead of First Dynasty.
