Moonlit Cloud¹⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 70

16/1

Back-to-back winner of turf handicaps last spring prior to good runners-up efforts next 2 starts (at 10f). Absent since finishing fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f) in August and this run could well be needed.

Let Her Loose¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 70| D

50/1

Four wins from 10 runs last year. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 100/1) 11 days ago, shaken up over 3f out and making no impression. Mark has eased further and she's down in class here.

Form: 525-009

Lookingdandy¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 68

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Tenth of 12 on handicap debut in this sphere at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 150/1) 18 days ago, racing in midfield and never landing a blow. Assessor quick to relinquish his grip and betting may prove a useful guide.

Form: 657-0

Charlie's Choice²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67

11/8

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 3/1) 24 days ago, getting good split up the inner and staying on to lead last ½f. Respected up 4 lb back up in trip.

Form: 55354-1

Sea Of Charm^v³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 65

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (25/1) back at that venue (12.2f) 36 days ago, not ideally placed.

Luna Effect^p1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 65| BF

5/2

4/6, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's expected to be in the shake up.

Form: 2673-22

Sir Laurence Graff²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 65

66/1

40/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 29 days ago, no response having been headed over 2f out.

Grigio⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 65

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 48 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others preferred.

Form: 06808-

(8)

Gonnetot²⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier| OR: 62

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden who improved on previous efforts when second of 6 on handicap debut at Newcastle (10.2f) in May, ridden 2f out and keeping on late. Longer trip promises to suit back from 8 months off and he's far less exposed than most.

Form: 55/82-

(9)

Star Of Sussex¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 63

9/1

11/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 16 days ago, plenty to do under 2f out and late headway. Others more persuasive.

Form: 3/5580-6

Mr Boson¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: H Morrison| OR: 63

8/1

13/2, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, weakening from 2f out. That was his first start for 8 months but he's not the easiest to weigh up.

Form: 756/20-8

Logistical^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 60

100/1

100/1, first run since leaving Tom Lacey when ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 17 days ago, losing place under 3f out. Visor goes back on now.

Forecasts

Charlie's Choice (11/8), Luna Effect (5/2), Uzincso (6/1), Mr Boson (8/1), Star Of Sussex (9/1), Sea Of Charm (14/1), Moonlit Cloud (16/1), Gonnetot (22/1), Lookingdandy (25/1), Grigio (28/1), Let Her Loose (50/1), Sir Laurence Graff (66/1), Logistical (100/1)

LUNA EFFECT was unable to get past a determined rival in a steadily-run affair at Newcastle recently but he remains one to be interested in from this sort of mark and first-time cheekpieces could well put an extra edge on him here. Wolverhampton scorer Charlie's Choice and the returning Gonnetot are others to consider, whilst Uzincso is another to keep an eye from his sliding mark.
