13/2

Course winner. Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Has seemingly gone sour over hurdles this winter, though, so has bit to prove despite workable mark.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 69| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in February. 6/1, ran poorly when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago but would be in the mix if able to bounce back.

Ahamoment²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 66

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, respectable third of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (8f), nearest finish. Off 7 months. Less exposed than most in this field but yard's runners often need the run after an absence.

Form: 0/6373-

4/1

Respectable third of 12 in minor event (9/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. Must improve but is still low mileage for his yard.

Form: 100-693

(4)

Tafsir^p¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

Forecasts

Our Dickie (4/1), Judgment Call (5/1), Diamond Haze (11/2), Showmedemoney (6/1), Flylikeaneagle (13/2), Tommy G (9/1), Copper Mountain (9/1), Star Of St James (10/1), Ahamoment (20/1), Tafsir (50/1)

JUDGMENT CALL was a dual winner last term and ran well over 7f here on his final outing last season, so gets the nod ahead of Star of St James, who was largely consistent for the bulk of last season, and recent Newcastle winner Showmedemoney.
