I'm Mable²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| D

5/1

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 12/1) 27 days ago, nearest finish. Down another 2 lb and she's worthy of consideration.

Form: 688565

Hey Ho Let's Go³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Raul Da Silva| T: M R Hoad| OR: 56| D

18/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good) 31 days ago. Every chance if back to best but there's no real reason to anticipate a return to form.

Form: 460-765

(1)

Big Time Maybe¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 54| CD

9/1

Three-time C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 7/2) 10 days ago. 7 lb higher back on turf but leading claims all the same.

Form: 0-23701

Master Sully^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R A Teal| OR: 46| D

4/1

Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 22/1) 12 days ago. 0-6 on turf and, chances are, he'll come up short once more.

Form: 576505

Arzaak⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh| T: C Wallis| OR: 46| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (5f) 68 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 8-79277

(3)

Mr Fayez^h²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Kyle Strydom| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 45| BF

7/2

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 85/40, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) 28 days ago. Live each-way chance off the same mark.

Form: 6708-44

Liberty Bay²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45| D

9/1

Twenty-four runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Another who is in with an each-way shout.

Form: 705673

(9)

Mr Pc²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

9/2

One win from 24 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 10/1) 21 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere in search of the likely winner.

Form: 3-87995

Georgia Madeleine¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: S Pearce| OR: 48| BF| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Third of 4 in minor event (10/11) at Lingfield (5f, AW). Off 130 days but won't be far away if she's fully tuned-up.

Form: 14456-3

Forecasts

Mr Fayez (7/2), Master Sully (4/1), Mr Pc (9/2), I'm Mable (5/1), Big Time Maybe (9/1), Liberty Bay (9/1), Georgia Madeleine (11/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (18/1), Metarace (20/1), Arzaak (33/1)

The vote goes to BIG TIME MAYBE, who has bagged three C&D handicaps from eight visits to this course and looked on good terms with himself when striking on the all-weather recently. Georgia Madeleine is appealing back at the scene of her breakthrough success last summer and is next on the list ahead of I'm Mable.
