33/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. 22/1, step back in right direction when eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 76 days ago, despite racing on unfavoured part of course. Needs to improve further again now.

Aikido^e/s²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 55| CD

10/1

Unreliable type but improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner minor event (7/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, well on top finish. Not sure to be in the same form back in a handicap with draw higher than ideal.

Form: 9-57481

C&D winner. Winner here in February. 11/8, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has good chance on form.

Form: 677-413

Too Funky^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Spencer| OR: 49

22/1

Failed to justify support when sixth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. More needed back in handicap, though Murphy retaining ride is a plus.

Form: 600/60-6

Forecasts

Jenever (2/1), Giselles Izzy (7/2), Dylan's Lad (5/1), Gunnerside (13/2), Autumn Flight (13/2), Ustath (15/2), Brave Display (9/1), Aikido (10/1), Shining Crystal (16/1), Mutabaahy (20/1), Too Funky (22/1), Liv Lucky (33/1), Cavalryman (100/1), Apache Portia (100/1)

JENEVER backed up his C&D win with a good placed effort at Kempton last time and looks to have plenty going for him again here. Giselles Izzy has been in great form this winter and looks by far the most pertinent danger, with Autumn Flight perhaps the best of the rest.
