Lexington Knight^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R Hannon| OR: 71| CD

9/4

C&D winner in October and has run creditably all 3 outings since, including in a first-time tongue strap when third over C&D (9/2) 19 days ago. Seems sure to remain competitive.

Form: 2013-53

Infinitive¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72

9/2

Fairly useful maiden who ran respectably when fourth of 8 in 12f handicap at Kempton 17 days ago, having run of race. Eased 3 lb and looks on a good mark on the pick of her 2022 form.

Form: U522-64

(3)

Choral Work⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 69| D

17/2

Fair winner at 2m over hurdles but she finished a tailed-off last in a handicap at Huntingdon in January. Given a chance by the assessor back in this code but looks risky.

Pavlodar^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: A Ralph| OR: 68

11/1

Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces when fifth in 8-runner C&D handicap 19 days ago.

Form: 93/37-05

Thibouville¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 67

125/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020 and ran poorly on first run since leaving Mme G. Rarick after 11 months in 12f handicap at Kempton on UK debut 17 days ago.

Form: 43009-7

Jacks Profit^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 66| D

7/4

Successful at Kempton in November and posted a good second over C&D on most recent Flat outing. Left hurdling debut form behind in a first-time tongue strap when landing a 2m novice at Ludlow 16 days ago and has to be respected back in this code.

Form: 2312-32

Cedar Cage^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S A Gray| T: D Shaw| OR: 65

16/1

80/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 21 days ago. Lots to prove at present.

Form: 352/8-07

Forecasts

Jacks Profit (7/4), Lexington Knight (9/4), Infinitive (9/2), Choral Work (17/2), Hot Team (10/1), Pavlodar (11/1), Cedar Cage (16/1), Thibouville (125/1)

INFINITIVE has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of her 3-y-o form for Sir Michael Stoute and is taken to capitalise. Jacks Profit, a recent winner over hurdles, is much respected back in this code, with the consistent Lexington Knight also feared.
