Largo Bay⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: George Rooke| T: M Madgwick| OR: 52| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 4/1) 44 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights and he's one to consider.

Form: 378335-

The Conqueror^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 52| CD

5/2

C&D winner in December. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 3/1) 22 days ago. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 05461-4

Hildenley¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: J & S Best| OR: 51

14/1

14/1, first run since leaving Tim Easterby when last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 6/3665-0

(3)

Stopnsearch^v²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 51| C

13/2

Course winner. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Visor back on and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 64056-5

(8)

Iftikhaar³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47

7/1

14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 39 days ago. Back up in trip and would have an each-way chance if he were to put his best foot forward.

Form: 882708-

Gold Standard^p⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 20/1, good fifth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 8 days ago, not clear run. Cheekpieces back on. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 0083-45

The Resdev Way²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 46| C| D

8/1

Course winner. First run since leaving Micky Hammond when good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 15/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Place possibilities.

Form: 97450-2

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 46

16/1

Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. 22/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 13 days ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 70345-2

18/1

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: A J Farragher| T: M J Attwater| OR: 45| CD

40/1

C&D winner. 80/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 06008-7

Atwixaday^v¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48

18/1

Good fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 22/1) 15 days ago. That was one of his better efforts but still leaves him with a bit to find.

Form: 80/370-5

Forecasts

The Conqueror (5/2), Largo Bay (10/3), Stopnsearch (13/2), Iftikhaar (7/1), The Resdev Way (8/1), Hildenley (14/1), Naadyaa (16/1), Hanoverian King (18/1), Atwixaday (18/1), Gold Standard (20/1), Savoy Brown (40/1)

The vote goes to LARGO BAY, who didn't enjoy the best of runs over C&D last time and he had shaped as though his turn was near when placed in back-to-back Kempton handicaps prior to that. Stopnsearch has, like the selection, dipped to an attractive mark and he is next on the list ahead of The Conqueror and Naadyaa.
