Bopedro¹⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D O'Meara| OR: 103| D

9/1

Smart gelding. Latest win at Newmarket in August. Respectable fourth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft, 10/1), left poorly placed. Off 106 days. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 001934-

Dear My Friend³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 103| D

11/8

Smart gelding. 7/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 34 days ago, doing well in the circumstances. Makes polytrack debut and could do better still, so strong claims.

Form: 18000-1

(5)

Diderot^h⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 100| C| D

7/1

Useful gelding. Course winner. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 14/1) 52 days ago. Should give another good account for all that he has a bit to find.

Form: 321091-

Maysan¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 73| CD

150/1

Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. Winner here in January. Last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 12/1) 14 days ago. Out of her depth in this.

Form: 3693-10

(3)

Nine Tenths^t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 100

5/4

Smart filly. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 2/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 34 days ago, conceding first run. Makes polytrack debut. Makes most appeal.

Form: 1/1481-2

Forecasts

Nine Tenths (5/4), Dear My Friend (11/8), Diderot (7/1), Bopedro (9/1), Maysan (150/1)

NINE TENTHS has marginally the best form and was better than the result when second at Newcastle a month ago, so he takes preference over Dear My Friend, who took a marked step forward to score at the same course last time. Bopedro also has form claims.
