Wrath Of Hector^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: C Lee| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 57| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Good second of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, headed final 100 yds and keeping on. Visor back on now and considered for all consistency isn't his strong suit.

Form: 00600-2

Liv Lucky¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 56

22/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Seemingly failed to stay when eighth of 9 in 1m handicap here on yard debut 19 days ago. leading until over 1f out and folding. This is more suitable.

Form: 82693-8

Dark Enchantment¹⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 56

33/1

40/1, last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) in July, shuffled back halfway and soon beaten. Absent since but very best efforts have come on AW, so worth a precautionary market check on return to action.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: A D Brown| OR: 56| D

9/4

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 6/5) 16 days ago, cosily. Merits consideration.

Form: 88580-1

Tricky Business¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 55| D

8/1

11/2, 4 lengths third of 9 to Jems Bond in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago, headway under pressure 2f out and plugging on. Has fallen a long way in weights if he can build on that here.

Form: 5/7600-3

Willing To Please¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 54| D

8/1

17/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, no extra close home. Remains on last winning mark and she should remain competitive.

Breezyandbright^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 53| C

11/2

14/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, kept up to work. Step up in trip worth exploring on balance and considered from 5 lb higher.

Form: 75307-1

Highland Queen³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 53

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't disgraced when 5.5 lengths fifth of 12 in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago, not clear run approaching final 1f and staying on. Could be worth chancing from career-low mark.

Form: 205305-

Brave Display^b,e/s²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Molly Presland⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52| BF| D

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton (7f) in December. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap back at that venue 3 weeks ago, despite hanging right over 1f out. Each-way possibilities with rider taking off 7 lb.

Form: 576316-

Mintnthat^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 52

11/2

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Cheekpieces back on here and task now is to back that up.

Form: 07108-4

Furniture Factors^b1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 45

28/1

18/1, fifth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.1f) 19 days ago, pushed along entering straight and never nearer. Needs to pull out more if he's to shed the maiden tag. Blinkers on 1st time.

Forecasts

Jems Bond (9/4), Breezyandbright (11/2), Mintnthat (11/2), Wrath Of Hector (6/1), Tricky Business (8/1), Willing To Please (8/1), Hachert (10/1), Brave Display (14/1), Highland Queen (16/1), Brazen Arrow (16/1), Liv Lucky (22/1), Furniture Factors (28/1), Dark Enchantment (33/1)

It could be worth chancing HIGHLAND QUEEN who was far from disgraced when finishing midfield in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago and the pick of her exploits suggest there's a race in her from this career-low mark. Jems Bond scored convincingly at Newcastle on his latest outing and is a big threat however, with Wrath of Hector and Willing To Please completing the shortlist.
