Poetic Force⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

5/4

Four-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. 12/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago, running on. Back up in trip and bold show likely at this lower level.

Form: 7346-17

Rhubarb Bikini^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67

11/2

Ungenuine type. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/1) 19 days ago. Others preferred.

Cityzen Serg⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: M Young| OR: 63| CD

40/1

Three-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft) 74 days ago, possibly amiss. Poor on latest start in this sphere, too, and he has plenty to prove.

De Vegas Kid⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 25/1) 6 days ago, running on. Like stablemate Poetic Force, he will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

Forecasts

Poetic Force (5/4), Arthur's Victory (11/8), De Vegas Kid (11/4), Motawaafeq (7/2), Rhubarb Bikini (11/2), Cityzen Serg (40/1)

MOTAWAAFEQ will probably face competition for the lead with Rhubarb Bikini in opposition but that may not stop him from getting his head back in front. The 7-y-o returned to form when third at Southwell earlier this month and remains on a handy mark. Arthur's Victory will likely prove popular following last week's success but she has more on her plate under a penalty here, and bigger threats may be posed by the Tony Carroll-trained duo, Poetic Force and De Vegas Kid.
