(1)

Nefarious¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: J F Egan| T: S Dow| OR: 66| C

18/1

Course winner. Only twelfth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (7f) on return from 10-month absence last week and others are more persuasive.

Form: 4/1587-0

(8)

Hul Ah Bah Loo³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 65

3/1

Again ran creditably when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 11/2) 38 days ago, doing well in the circumstances having raced well off the pace. Respected.

Form: 37534-4

(5)

Lost In Time^b,h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62

2/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. 8/1 and hooded for 1st time, shaped well when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form and been given chance by handicapper if able to build on latest effort.

Form: 9607-04

Sweet Bertie⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Dayverson De Barros| T: J Butler| OR: 62| CD

40/1

C&D winner in May last year. Has looked amiss both starts since return, reportedly suffering from irregular heartbeat last time. Leap of faith required now.

Form: 22610P-

It's A Love Thing²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: J Butler| OR: 61

25/1

Below form on his last 2 outings, most recently when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago. Been gambled-on for both previous successes for the yard and would be worth noting if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 10968-0

(7)

Blue Collar Lad²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: R Brisland| OR: 61| CD

5/1

C&D winner in December. Good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 7313-83

(4)

Ower Starlight³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 56| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner in December. Model of consitency this winter, again shaping well when sixth of 12 in handicap (11/4) at this C&D (AW) 35 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 22913-6

(2)

Deacs Delight⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 54WS

10/1

Foollowed good run with below par one when only ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 61 days ago. Remains long-standing maiden and others appeal as likelier winners.

Form: 807749-

Forecasts

Lost In Time (2/1), Hul Ah Bah Loo (3/1), Ower Starlight (7/2), Blue Collar Lad (5/1), Deacs Delight (10/1), Ostilio (10/1), Nefarious (18/1), It's A Love Thing (25/1), Sweet Bertie (40/1)

LOST IN TIME looked to have got back on track with a promising fourth over C&D last month and lurks on an interesting mark, so a chance is taken that he'll be able to get the better of recent C&D scorers Ower Starlight and Blue Collar Lad.
