Gobi Sunset²⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

14/1

Winless last year but made the frame all 4 starts on AW, latterly when second over 6f here in May. Clearly not 100% at Carlisle later that month but he's gone well fresh before so not dismissed lightly.

Barging Thru^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 82| CD

12/1

Doubled career tally over C&D last spring but not been at best upon returning to action this winter, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 33/136-8

Billy Mill¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Ross Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 82| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in September. 10/1, good third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 14 days ago, headway on inner under 2f out and keeping on. Fancied to be thereabouts again.

Form: 2401-63

Intervention^p,h⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 79| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 7/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 4 days ago, keeping on despite having taken a keen hold. Should give his running again but he remains 3 lb above last winning mark.

Form: 33-6224

Wyvern²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: S C Williams| OR: 79| C| D

2/1

Course winner. 18/1, shaped with plenty of promise on back of 7 months off when fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 27 days ago, nearest at the finish having been poorly drawn. Worth a second look with that under his belt back up at 7f.

Form: 18075-5

Asadjumeirah^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 77

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, stepped up on reappearance effort when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Down to a handy mark now if he can build on that back at 7f.

Form: 4000-64

Follow Your Heart^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 77| CD

10/3

Performing consistently well prior to deservedly resuming winning ways in 10-runner C&D handicap 26 days ago, well on top finish. Expected to be in the mix again despite inflated mark to contend with.

Form: 67222-1

Buckshaw Village⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| D

9/1

Showed improved form on back of being gelded to belatedly shed maiden tag at Lingfield (7f) in August. Disappointed next 3 starts but more like it from an easing mark when third of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) in December.

Form: 610003-

Under The Twilight¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: M Blake| OR: 73| BF| D

40/1

5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) in October, no extra final 100 yds. Has since switched yards but her mark does look about right on balance.

Form: 173733-

Forecasts

Wyvern (2/1), Follow Your Heart (10/3), Intervention (9/2), Buckshaw Village (9/1), Billy Mill (10/1), Barging Thru (12/1), Gobi Sunset (14/1), Asadjumeirah (14/1), Under The Twilight (40/1)

Having disappointed on turf early last year, WYVERN took a big step back in the right direction and very much caught the eye when staying on for fifth over 6f at Southwell 4 weeks ago. Now 2 lb below his last winning mark and unexposed at this trip on AW, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Follow Your Heart deservedly got back to winning ways over C&D latest and is a big threat though, along with Billy Mill.
