(8)

Comedian Leader^p⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (16/5) at Newcastle (7.1f) 5 days ago, pushed out. Clearly on the up and leading claims under a penalty.

Form: 55-1211

(4)

Chuck Taylor^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 67| D

9/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap (8/1) at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago by length from Coral Reef. Shade more needed up 3 lb but needs considering all the same.

Form: 56395-1

(7)

Resilient Power^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 67| D

11/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. 7/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 18 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 8751-25

(1)

Evolicatt¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 66| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. 6/1, good third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Each-way shout.

Form: 171-323

(2)

Vasilissa³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 65

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/1) 3 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 02-44

(3)

Dazzling Gem^p1⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 64

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when last of 10 in nursery (33/1) at Kempton (6f) 83 days ago. Makes debut for another new yard here and others make more appeal.

Form: 63540-

(5)

Coral Reef^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 63

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good length second of 11 to Chuck Taylor in handicap at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago. Definite chance here if able to build on that improved effort.

Form: 350-52

(6)

She's A Rocket²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 57

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving George Boughey when good 1¾ lengths third of 10 to Comedian Leader in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 25 days ago. Place possibilities but will do well to reverse the placings with the winner.

Form: 7556-3

Forecasts

Comedian Leader (9/4), Chuck Taylor (9/2), Evolicatt (5/1), Vasilissa (5/1), Resilient Power (11/2), She's A Rocket (11/1), Coral Reef (14/1), Dazzling Gem (100/1)

Another win could be on the cards for the progressive COMEDIAN LEADER, who appeared to have more in hand than the margin of success would suggest at Newcastle last week and she is 2-2 over this C&D. Coral Reef was just touched off by Chuck Taylor at Kempton a fortnight ago and is taken to reverse placings with that rival here and emerge as the main danger. Evolicatt should make her presence felt, too.
