Trusty Scout⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 53| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner who scored at Kempton in November. Again ran well when second of 10 in handicap back at Kempton (11f, 9/4) a week ago, collared close home. Not taken lightly.

Form: 33413-2

Prince Hector¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 52| C

10/1

Finally opened account at this course in December. Drawn wide and not beaten far when sixth of 10 in handicap here (9.5f, 8/1) 18 days ago. Can give his running again upped in trip.

Form: 784816-

Rebecca West^p1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 52

25/1

Limited impact in juvenile hurdles for current yard and made little impression back on the Flat when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 50/1) 2 weeks ago. Up in trip with cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 9/9336-

(7)

Tortured Soul³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51

6/5

Switched to all-weather on first run since leaving G. M. Lyons, off the mark in 12-runner handicap (6/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 37 days ago. Major player with more still to offer for his current yard.

Form: 894381-

(5)

Corsican Caper^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 51| D

13/2

Ridden by Joe Leavy, off the mark in 10-runner minor event (12/1) at Southwell (12.1f) a week ago. Can give another good account now that he's up and running.

Form: 54589-1

Alioski^t⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Brown| OR: 46| D

11/1

Made the frame on first 3 Flat starts in 2023 but was struggling for form on the level/over hurdles at the end of the year, well held in handicap hurdle at Kempton (16f, good to soft, 20/1) in November. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 51/3427-

(6)

Hot Team^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 46

22/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Fared no better than of late when 3½ lengths sixth of 10 to Corsican Caper in minor event (28/1) at Southwell (12.1f) a week ago. Mark has eased further but more needed to take advantage.

Form: 97907-6

(4)

Stand Free⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 45

50/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. With usual hood left off, fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 16/1) 57 days ago, merely plugging on. Others look stronger as she goes up in trip.

Form: 080/094-

(1)

Sociologist^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| D

66/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Failed to build on promise of previous run when last of 12 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 26 days ago, slowly away. Lurks on a dangerous mark but others more persuasive.

Form: 438040-

(2)

Eaux De Vie^b1²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S Kirk| OR: 45

125/1

Again finished down the field when eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this course (16.6f) 28 days ago. Back down in trip with blinkers now reached for, but she looks to be up against it.

Form: 879588-

Forecasts

Tortured Soul (6/5), Trusty Scout (5/2), Corsican Caper (13/2), Prince Hector (10/1), Alioski (11/1), Hot Team (22/1), Rebecca West (25/1), Stand Free (50/1), Sociologist (66/1), Eaux De Vie (125/1)

Having his first run on all-weather, TORTURED SOUL made a winning start for Tony Carroll when getting up to lead close home at Southwell in December and he can score again as he goes back up in trip. Trusty Scout has been going through a good spell of late and is feared most, with Corsican Caper completing the shortlist.
