Off time: 20:01 | Winning time: 1m 27.47s

(1)

Misty Ayr^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S H James| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 75

11/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 27 days ago. 2 lb lower now and she's worthy of consideration.

Form: 60769-4

(5)

Under The Twilight²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: David Probert| T: M Blake| OR: 72| D

10/3

40/1, first run since leaving Tom Ward when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if on-song but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 73733-6

(2)

Prenup¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 70

9/4

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW), nearest finish. Off 158 days ahead of this debut for new yard and needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 662384-

(4)

Lady Lavina^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: C Johnston| OR: 77| D

16/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. Last of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 14 days ago following a 5-month break. Opposable off the same mark.

Form: 21401-4

(6)

Comedian Leader^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 76| D

6/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. Sixth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago, slowly away. Doubt she has much in hand of the assessor but she's a major player all the same.

Form: 111246

(7)

Port Noir^b1,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Stephens| OR: 59| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and possibilities if the new headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 26-2839

(9)

So Chic¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Hills| OR: 65

9/2

Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Solid claims.

Form: 8566-24

Butterfly Effect¹²⁸

Forecasts

Prenup (9/4), Under The Twilight (10/3), So Chic (9/2), Misty Ayr (11/2), Comedian Leader (6/1), Butterfly Effect (8/1), Eponina (10/1), Port Noir (11/1), Lady Lavina (16/1)

SO CHIC is taken to open her account at the tenth time of asking. She went agonisingly close back from a short break over this C&D last month and is better than she was able to show at Kempton 9 days later. Comedian Leader is likely to give it a good shot but she's probably just about in the handicapper's grip for now and Misty Ayr, who wasn't beaten far here last time, is second choice.
