Love Yours¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 63

9/1

8/1, very good second of 5 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can make presence felt if able to back that up.

Form: 676-372

Likeashadow⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 63| CD

11/4

C&D winner. 9/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there from unchanged mark.

Form: 44-4223

Bella Umbria⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J Ferguson| OR: 62

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event (22/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 67 days ago, not knocked about. Could do better now handicapping with step up in trip likely to suit.

Form: 069-

Mulciber^t⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 59| C

3/1

Lightly-raced winner. Winner here in November. Respectable eighth of 14 in nursery (4/1) at Kempton (8f) 59 days ago, running on. Well bred sort shouldn't be ruled out.

Redondo¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: D Bourke| OR: 56| CD

11/4

First run since leaving Josh Halley when 5/1, career best when readily winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 15 days ago by 1½ lengths from Likleman, suited by way race developed. Up 6 lb but likely to progress further.

Form: 096-1

Likleman¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: S G West| OR: 55

15/2

Another good effort when 1½ lengths second of 8 to Redondo in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 15 days ago, suited by way race developed. Sound claims again.

Form: 5729-22

On The Bubble⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 51

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at this course (7.1f). Off 95 days. Makes handicap debut. Limited appeal.

Form: 469-

Forecasts

Redondo (11/4), Likeashadow (11/4), Mulciber (3/1), Bella Umbria (6/1), Likleman (15/2), Love Yours (9/1), Capla Mojo (33/1), On The Bubble (100/1)

REDONDO made a winning start for this yard over C&D last time and he looks capable of better again, so gets the nod to follow up. Likeashadow has built up a respectable record over C&D and is another player, with Likleman also meriting respect.
