Ready To Shine¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 66| D

25/1

28/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2445-95

Captain Square³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

22/1

22/1, first run since leaving Tom Lacey when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 30 days ago. Entitled to come on for that spin, which was his first outing for 17 months, and he's one to note in the betting.

Form: 34452/7

(6)

Polar Princess¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 65

2/1

10/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 13 days ago, needing stiffer test. 0-10 but her turn is surely near and another bold show on the cards.

Form: 973-322

Churchella^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in December. Good second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 5/1) 8 days ago. Back down in trip and she's likely to be firmly in the mix.

Form: 26141-2

Easter Island^p1,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 59

6/1

17/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 18 days ago, hampered. Cheekpieces on 1st time and looks an each-way candidate.

Form: 3/707-25

Bobby Shaftoe^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| CD

12/1

Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. 15/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (16.2f) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and dangerous to discount off a reduced mark.

Form: 1084-54

(8)

Rose Light¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: G Tutty| OR: 56

11/4

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (5/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 14 days ago, staying on well. Remains on a good mark up 3 lb and she's a big player.

Form: 7565-51

Forecasts

Polar Princess (2/1), Rose Light (11/4), Churchella (10/3), Easter Island (6/1), Rock N Roll Pinkie (10/1), Bobby Shaftoe (12/1), Captain Square (22/1), Ready To Shine (25/1)

The vote goes to CHURCHELLA, who boasts a solid record on the all-weather and pulled nicely clear of the rest when chasing home strong stayer Ney upped to 16.5f at Southwell last week. She's very appealing off the same mark back down in trip here. Polar Princess will surely get her head in front before long and she is likely to emerge as the main threat ahead of Rose Light.
