Runner Bean⁴²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: E De Giles| OR: 60

66/1

Heeraat filly who showed modest form at best in trio of 6f Kempton novice/maiden events for John Gallagher during 2021. Missed whole of last year so market a good guide to expectations now handicapping for new yard.

Form: 046/

Autumn Angel^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59

8/1

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 12/1) 18 days ago, poorly drawn and racing very wide. Not one to write off back down at 6f with good draw to work from.

Form: 83026-5

Marwari¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| CD

11/4

Successful 3 times at this venue last year (twice over C&D). May have just needed first run for 6 weeks when sixth in 12-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago and he's been eased 2 lb subsequently. Not discounted.

Form: 51525-6

Bungle Bay¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 58| D

12/1

Winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in January. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap back at that venue (7.2f, 9/2) 18 days ago, well positioned. More needed from widest draw of all here.

Form: 582-166

Big Impact¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 57| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 9/2, seemed stretched by the longer trip when last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago, headed 2f out and weakening. This more suitable and better showing anticipated.

Form: 46-4458

Fristel³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

28/1

Fair maiden who ran well from a wide draw when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/2) 30 days ago, nearest at the finish having been left with too much to do. One to bear in mind but again done no favours with the draw here.

Form: 54659-3

Ustath¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 57| CD

9/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win in minor event here in January. 7/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Clearly in good heart at present but he may just prove vulnerable to a couple here.

Form: 5-72114

Ireland's Eye^b,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 56| CD

6/1

Landed a C&D minor event in December. 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, held when hampered late on. Less-than-ideal draw to contend with here, though.

Form: 40/41-74

(10)

Giselles Izzy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 55| CD

7/1

Winner over C&D in December. 8/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. No surprise to see her thereabouts having eased a little in the weights.

Form: 831-535

(2)

Magicinthemaking⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: J E Long| OR: 55| D

18/1

14/1, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 42 days ago, headway to lead over 1f out and keeping on well. Not ruled out from revised mark/handy draw.

Form: 32875-1

(4)

Final Frontier^h²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| D

12/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 20/1) 24 days ago, weakening final 1f. Has proved largely consistent on AW this winter and likely type to bounce back.

Form: 2332-38

(9)

Jack Ryan^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 51| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in October. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 7217-35

Brazen Arrow^v⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45| D

12/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. 12/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago, weakening 1f out. Others make greater appeal.

Forecasts

Marwari (11/4), Ireland's Eye (6/1), Giselles Izzy (7/1), Autumn Angel (8/1), Ustath (9/1), Big Impact (10/1), Brazen Arrow (12/1), Final Frontier (12/1), Bungle Bay (12/1), Privilege (12/1), Jack Ryan (16/1), Magicinthemaking (18/1), Fristel (28/1), Runner Bean (66/1)

A whole host in with a shout including GISELLES IZZY. A winner over C&D in December, she's shaped as if still in good form in a trio of starts since and the likelihood of a decent pace to aim at here will aid her cause. Marwari may come forward from his run over C&D 2 weeks ago and rates a threat, along with Autumn Angel and Fristel.
