Revolutionise^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: S C Williams| OR: 79| D

7/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 13/2) 9 days ago, running on. Should give another good account for in-form yard.

Form: 2684-43

Plastic Paddy⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Appleby| OR: 78| C

22/1

Course winner who probably needed the run back from 7 months off when last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) in November. Entitled to be sharper here and now operating just 1 lb above last winning mark.

See You Boy⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 78| CD

10/1

Winner over C&D in December. 16/1, had excuses when sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Eased 2 lb subsequently and no surprise to see a better showing from handy draw.

7/1

Latest win at Kempton in January. 5/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago. Rider takes off valuable 5 lb and he can't be ruled out in present groove.

Thapa VC²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 76| CD

11/1

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D (AW) 20 days ago, produced to lead inside final 100 yds and running on. Hostage to fortune given his run style but claims again from 2 lb higher if getting the breaks.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 76| D

12/1

Good neck third of 9 to Thapa Vc in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (AW) 20 days ago, switched approaching final 1f and finishing well. Capable of defying current mark if things fall right.

Course winner. 9/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Consistency is hard to knock but he's yet to defy a mark this high.

Epsom Faithfull¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 72| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (6/1) at this course (1m) 16 days ago, running on well considering she endured a wide trip. Has fallen to a potentially lenient mark if building on that here.

Form: 03656-3

Grenham Bay^p1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A M Balding| OR: 71

6/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/2) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 54223-5

Forecasts

Revolutionise (7/2), Sandy Paradise (6/1), Grenham Bay (6/1), Epsom Faithfull (13/2), Ultramarine (7/1), Arctician (8/1), See You Boy (10/1), Thapa VC (11/1), Dayman (12/1), Plastic Paddy (22/1), Bowman (28/1)

Typically competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of GRENHAM BAY. Not at his best over 6f at Wolverhampton latest, he had previously been shaping up well over this trip and, now equipped with first-time cheekpieces, it would come as no surprise to see him go well from a handy draw. Thapa Vc is thriving and rates a big threat in search of the hat-trick, with See You Boy and Dayman just a couple of others to consider.
