Siam Fox¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: K Frost| OR: 80| D

15/2

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Ran respectably under a penalty when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/2) when last seen 4 months ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 90361-6

Victoria Grove¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: H Spiller| OR: 78| D

10/1

Scored at Chelmsford City in October but not in same form when eighth on both subsequent starts, finding things too competitive at Lingfield (10f, AW) over 4 months ago.

Form: 155188-

Dandy Maestro^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Spencer| OR: 77| D

11/4

50/1, ran respectably after 4 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Blinkers back on and may feature with Murphy up for the first time.

Form: 54400-6

Dashing Dick^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W Stone| OR: 76| C

7/2

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, ran poorly after 10 weeks off when last of 4 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can get back on track.

Form: 224-344

Regal Rambler¹⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 73

6/1

Fairly useful maiden who matched exploits for former yard when runner-up in a Newcastle novice (1m) in January. Failed to repeat that effort in cheekpieces at Chelmsford (10f, 13/2) 10 days later but can get involved on turf/handicap debut.

Form: 524-26

Grand Libya^v⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 72

11/4

Headgear has evidently had a positive effect this year again and he again ran well when third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 9/2) 48 days ago. Gelded since and has to be taken seriously in his current mood.

Form: 23/86-23

Forecasts

Grand Libya (11/4), Dandy Maestro (11/4), Dashing Dick (7/2), Regal Rambler (6/1), Siam Fox (15/2), Victoria Grove (10/1), San Isidro (12/1)

Cases can be made for most but GRAND LIBYA has taken his form up a level since fitted with headgear and having been gelded since last seen, Tom Clover's charge gets the tentative nod to open his account. The main threat could be Dandy Maestro, who came good around this time last year and ran respectably after 4 months off at Kempton recently. Regal Rambler can fill out third spot.
