Sassy Redhead¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W Stone| OR: 58| BF| D

10/3

Latest win at Lingfield in February. 15/8, creditable ½-length second of 9 to May Remain in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Should continue in form.

Form: 321-212

Ignac Lamar³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 32 days ago. Consistency not his strong suit but clearly capable of making an impact from this sort of mark.

May Remain¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 57| CD

16/1

7/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago by ½ length from Sassy Redhead, having run of race. Overall consistency is hard to knock and likely to give it another good shot.

Form: 8-03421

Jumira Bridge¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: D Shaw| OR: 57| D

22/1

Three wins from 18 runs last year. Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 18 days ago, readily. Not taken lightly if he can back that up here.

Mumcat¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 53| D

13/2

Snapped a lengthy losing run at Newcastle in October and, having slipped back down the weights, ran creditably when 1½ lengths third of 9 to May Remain in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 12 days ago. Each-way possibilities again.

Form: 1365-83

The Tron^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D Shaw| OR: 52| C

14/1

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 45-2163

Dapper Man^b³³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 52| C| D

22/1

Toptime³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S R Bowring| OR: 52| CD

7/1

Returned in good heart this winter, capitalising on his much-reduced mark when taking 11-runner handicap at this course (5f) 33 days ago, always holding on. Return to further will hold no fears and he ought to be in the mix again.

Form: 0083-21

Forecasts

Sassy Redhead (10/3), Ignac Lamar (7/2), Spring Romance (5/1), Mumcat (13/2), Toptime (7/1), The Tron (14/1), May Remain (16/1), Due Date (16/1), Dapper Man (22/1), Jumira Bridge (22/1), The Princes Poet (22/1), Eldeyaar (28/1)

IGNAC LAMAR hasn't been the most consistent in recent months but he lines up here having ran well when third from a tumbling mark at Wolverhampton 32 days ago and he could be worth chancing back at the scene of his last success. Toptime, who ran out a good winner over 5f here last time is feared, with Sassy Redhead and May Remain others to consider in what rates a competitive affair.
