The Dunkirk Lads³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| D

12/1

After 5 months off, probably needed the run when eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) 39 days ago. Now 1 lb below his last winning mark as he drops back in grade.

Form: 35694-8

Run This Way³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 70| D

40/1

After 5 months off, probably needed the run when last of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 31 days ago. Capable of getting involved off her current mark if on a going day.

Form: 88749-7

Redzone¹⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 68| CD

10/1

3-time C&D winner. However, well below form on his final 2 starts last year, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D in November. Others more persuasive.

22/1

Having dropped in the weights, took advantage when winning 13-runner handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good) in September. Remains on a workable mark if ready to go on his return.

10/3

Scored twice in 2 days at this course (both at 5f) in January. Has made the frame here on his last 4 starts, fourth of 11 in handicap 3 days ago. Can give another good account back up to 6f.

Form: 162224

(9)

Tathmeen^p³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61| CD

10/1

7-time course winner, successful at this C&D in February. 11/1, not discredited when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago, nearest finish. Needs everything to drop right.

Form: 115853

Forecasts

Kraken Power (10/3), Murbih (7/2), Glorious Rio (9/2), Rhythm (17/2), Athollblair Boy (9/1), Tathmeen (10/1), Redzone (10/1), The Dunkirk Lads (12/1), J R Cavagin (22/1), Run This Way (40/1)

MURBIH has bounced back to form on his last 2 starts, so he is taken to quickly resume winning ways having narrowly been denied when runner-up here 3 days ago. Kraken Power has been running consistently well at this course and is feared most, ahead of Rhythm who bids for a hat-trick on her return.
