The Nail Gunner^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 66

12/1

Three wins from 10 runs last year. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 30 days ago, tackled final 1f and headed close home. Should give another good account.

Form: 6150-22

Mostallim^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| D

Rhubarb Bikini^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 65

14/1

Ungenuine type. 11/2, third of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Attwater. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 4466-43

Biplane^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 63| C| D

25/1

Course winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 2 weeks ago, headway out wide over 2f out and weakening final 1f. Previous exploits in defeat at this venue have been solid and she's eased back down to last winning mark.

Form: 269-335

Local Bay⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| CD

5/4

9/2, won 12-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago by 3½ lengths from Al Suil Eile, forging clear final 1f. Profile on AW is a fairly solid one and he looks a big player again under a penalty.

Form: 59168-1

Daafy^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 62| CD

9/1

3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Seventh of 11 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop.

Form: 822-037

Bobby Joe Leg^b⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Four wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 13/2, creditable 3½ lengths third of 12 to Local Bay in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, keeping on. Each-way possibilities once more.

Form: 1927-23

Bearing Bob²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| BF

9/2

Winner at Kempton in November. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (15/8) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 29 days ago, weakening final 1f. Clearly in good heart at present and worth noting he remains unexposed at 7f.

Form: 36713-3

(4)

Mumcat^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 62| D

12/1

Just the one win from 21 Flat runs but she comes here in good order, looking unlucky not to finish closer when 1 length third in 13-runner handicap here (6f) 2 weeks ago. Effective at 7f and she's fancied to be in the mix.

Form: 3264-23

(7)

Crystal Dawn^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 61| D

150/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton (7f) in October. First run since leaving David Brown when last of 11 in handicap at this C&D (100/1) 7 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 07131-0

Al Suil Eile⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Swift| T: S A Harris| OR: 59| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Respectable 3½ lengths second of 12 to Local Bay in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 7 days ago, making up plenty of late ground having missed the break. Sound claims of hitting the frame again.

Form: 1866-42

Forecasts

Local Bay (5/4), Bearing Bob (9/2), Al Suil Eile (8/1), Daafy (9/1), The Nail Gunner (12/1), Mumcat (12/1), Rhubarb Bikini (14/1), Mostallim (18/1), Bobby Joe Leg (22/1), Biplane (25/1), Danielsflyer (25/1), Crystal Dawn (150/1)

LOCAL BAY boasts a pretty solid profile on the AW and proved well suited by the return to this trip when readily landing a C&D handicap 7 days ago. A 5 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him following up on that evidence. Al Suil Eile and Bobby Joe Leg, second and third behind the selection latest should give it their best again, while Mumcat, who wasn't seen to best effect here latest also makes some each-way appeal.
