12/1, ran better than previously without matching his best efforts for this yard when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago.
|
Nineteen runs since sole win in 2021. 7/2, returned to form when second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago. Task is now building on that.
|
Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, showed more than on his belated return when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on. Handicapper drops him 5 lb.
|
C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 5/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this course (5f) 2 days ago. Respected.
|
Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 6/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 19 days ago. Her consistency is hard to knock and she could well open her account from a career-low mark.
|
Four wins from 19 runs last year, latest at Wolverhampton in December. 33/1, shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 6 days ago, not clear run from 2f out.
|
9/1, made little impression when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on.
|
20/1, ran poorly after 12 weeks off (had breathing operation) when last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time.
|
17/2, typically showed bags of speed when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 3 days ago, going off too hard. Should remain competitive.
|
Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Ran one of better races when 2½ lengths sixth of 9 to Beneficiary in minor event (33/1) at this C&D 2 weeks ago. Needs to build on that now.

Forecasts
Flash The Dash (5/2), Beneficiary (5/2), Sparkling Spirit (15/2), Spring Romance (15/2), The Toff (15/2), May Remain (17/2), My Boy Jack (16/1), One Last Hug (20/1), Fighting Chance (28/1), Impulsive Lady (40/1)
SPARKLING SPIRIT is yet to taste success, but her consistency is hard to knock so Adrian Keatley's charge gets the tentative vote having dropped to a career-low mark. May Remain is another arriving in good order so he may emerge as the main danger, with Flash The Dash and Beneficiary another couple not out of things, either.
