Glorious Rio^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 70| D

9/1

Dual winner last term. Found good run of form coming to a halt at Newcastle last time but he's the type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 582-359

(1)

Late Arrival¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| D

12/1

Capable from this sort of mark on his day but may need his first outing for 176 days. Best watched unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 035060-

Libra Tiger¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 68| BF| D

16/1

Winner at Kempton in January. 11/4, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Step back up in trip should aid his cause.

Form: 8-15857

(12)

Mega Marvel²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 68| D

13/2

Landed a claimer at Wolverhampton on his final outing in 2022 and picked up where he left off when second in a handicap at Southwell recently. Should go well again.

Form: 00541-2

(5)

Stalingrad³⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 68

9/1

Fair performer who continued his run of placed efforts when second at Pontefract 10 months ago. Not seen since and still a maiden, but hard to completely ignore from current mark.

Form: 0/22332-

Papa Cocktail¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 67| C| D

9/2

Back in form of late and pulled clear with the runner-up when just edging a Southwell handicap 11 days ago. Has won here before and remains well treated on old form, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 000-361

(10)

Redzone²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: B Smart| OR: 67| D

15/2

Slipped down the weights after a quiet end to last season but much better signs when fourth at Newcastle on reappearance and expected to step forward from that. Looks a player.

Form: 08200-4

(17)

El Hibri²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67

33/1

Has a patchy profile but took a small step in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton 6 months ago. Return to this trip will suit, so not a forlorn hope if tuned up.

Form: 7/83203-

(15)

Street Life^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 66| C| D

20/1

Course winner who wasn't disgraced over 5f at Chelmsford recently. Dropped another pound for that and merits respect.

Form: 46443-4

(16)

Kats Bob^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| D

18/1

Won a couple of times last year and should strip fitter for his reappearance at Thirsk 7 days ago. Handicapper has given him a chance, so dangerous to completely dismiss.

Form: 43485-8

(9)

Brian The Snail^p²¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 65| D

33/1

One-time useful sprinter for Richard Fahey but on the downgrade and failed to fire for this yard in two outings last year. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4008/70-

(2)

Redrosezorro^h¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mathers| T: C N Kellett| OR: 65| D

50/1

Multiple course winner who was well backed when making final start for Eric Alston a winning one over 6f here in October. Probably needed his return at Catterick and should be closer to form this time.

Form: 98701-0

(4)

Somewhere Secret^v¹⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: L Williamson| OR: 64| CD

80/1

Unreliable sort who was below form on his final outing for Rebecca Menzies and is likely to need this stable debut after 6 months off.

Form: 138589-

(7)

Stay Smart^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Poppy Wilson⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| D

40/1

Losing run is mounting up and debut for this stable at Ripon didn't contain much encouragement. Hard to fancy.

Form: 69876-0

(14)

Madame Fenella¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: N Callan| T: D Shaw| OR: 61| D

7/1

Has returned from 6 months off in good form, not settling fully when second at Wolverhampton last time. Strong pace would suit and she's worthy of consideration.

Form: 2540-52

(13)

Dream Together¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 60| CD

4/1

Becoming well treated and has probably needed both outings so far this term. Bit better than the result at Newcastle on latest and has won over C&D in the past, so needs considering.

Form: 5700-57

Forecasts

Dream Together (4/1), Papa Cocktail (9/2), With Respect (5/1), Mega Marvel (13/2), Madame Fenella (7/1), Redzone (15/2), Glorious Rio (9/1), Stalingrad (9/1), Late Arrival (12/1), Libra Tiger (16/1), Kats Bob (18/1), Street Life (20/1), Brian The Snail (33/1), El Hibri (33/1), Stay Smart (40/1), Redrosezorro (50/1), Somewhere Secret (80/1)

PAPA COCKTAIL moved through the race stylishly before edging a tight finish at Southwell recently and he's worth a chance to follow up after a small rise. Mega Marvel is in good order and looks a danger, while With Respect remains well treated if he turns up in the same mood that saw him score at Southwell 86 days ago.
