Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (13/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago. Should be in the mix.
|
Two wins from 6 runs last year. 5/2, good length second of 9 to Follow Your Heart in handicap at this C&D 41 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
|
Promising individual. One win from 3 runs last year. Winner at Kempton in October. Second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/8) 22 days ago. Remains open to improvement.
|
Latest win at Newcastle in December. 20/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago, running on. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
Five-time course winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. 18/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 6 days ago. Back down in trip and looks vulnerable on this occasion.
|
10/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, running on. 2 lb rise fair and while this looks more competitive, he's in with an each-way shout.
|
4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW), keeping on well. Absent for seven months ahead of this debut for new yard and probably worth taking on.
|
Three wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in November. 20/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago, slowly away. Needs to raise his game a touch.
|
Latest win at Yarmouth in September. Respectable 2 lengths sixth of 10 to Eden Storm in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 28 days ago. Place possibilities.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Pontefract in October. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1) 29 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not without an each-way chance.

Forecasts
Al Farabi (9/4), Follow Your Heart (3/1), Johnny James (6/1), The Turpinator (15/2), Eden Storm (8/1), Beauty Choice (9/1), How Impressive (16/1), Visibility (33/1), Sir Maxi (33/1), Wiseacre (66/1)
The lightly-raced AL FARABI bumped into a well-treated rival at Newcastle last time and further progress is likely from this 4-y-o. He gets the nod ahead of Johnny James, who was beaten a length by Follow Your Heart over C&D last month but meets that rival on 5 lb better terms now. Beauty Choice makes each-way appeal, while Eden Storm was successful over C&D on his latest start and is another who is likely to be involved in the finish.
- Al Farabi9/4
- Johnny James6/1
