George Morland¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 76| D

16/1

Latest win at Southwell in November. Last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 110 days and chance the break will enable him to revive back on turf. Cheekpieces off.

Form: 617-900

(9)

Dark Side Thunder^p⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 75

8/1

In top form at present, supplementing his Kempton success in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 3/1) 45 days ago. Big player if proving as effective on turf.

Form: 156-711

Secret Strength^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 74| D

15/2

Latest win at Lingfield in February. Visored for first time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 12/1) 21 days ago. Enters calculations with usual headgear back on.

Form: 015577

Thapa VC^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: M G Rimell| OR: 74| D

13/2

Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 5/1 and tongue strap on for first time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely to be better for that run.

Form: 50741-5

(6)

Covert Mission^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 74| D

9/2

Latest win at Lingfield in April. Good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/2) 20 days ago. Seen to maximum effect but likely to go well again.

Form: 4-82312

(2)

Sharvara^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: A Watson| OR: 73

8/1

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 11 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 3/92727

Ideal Guest^v²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: G G Margarson| OR: 70| D

10/1

14/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago. Probably needed first run in 7 months so better expected here.

Form: 25216-7

(8)

The Spotlight Kid^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D K Ivory| OR: 68| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he should be spot on for this.

Form: 7U411-8

(3)

Harbour Vision^v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| D

33/1

50/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, having run of race. Back down in trip on rare turf start.

Form: 260554

Forecasts

The Spotlight Kid (2/1), Covert Mission (9/2), Thapa VC (13/2), Secret Strength (15/2), Dark Side Thunder (8/1), Sharvara (8/1), Ideal Guest (10/1), George Morland (16/1), Harbour Vision (33/1)

THE SPOTLIGHT KID defends an unbeaten C&D record and with an AW run minus headgear 3 weeks ago likely to put him spot on for this, he has a lot to recommend him. Dark Side Thunder is a big threat if he's as effective on turf, along with Covert Mission.
