World Of Darcy¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Pearson| T: J Ryan| OR: 84| D

11/1

Latest win at Nottingham in October. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 80/1) 11 days ago. Looks up against it now switched to tapeta.

Form: 8015-58

Barnwell Boy¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 84

11/4

Lightly-raced winner. 11/1, fifth of 7 in nursery at Chester (5.1f, soft). Off 178 days ahead of this tapeta debut and needs to take a step forward if he's to play a leading role.

Form: 10805-

Mini Magna³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 83| D

50/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. First run since leaving Ed Dunlop when 8¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Torvar in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (5f) 33 days ago. Down 2 lb and while he clearly has work to do, that was his first outing for 5 months, so he should be sharper now.

Form: 21120-5

Cargin Bhui⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: T D Barron| OR: 82| D

13/8

Thrice-raced winner. Successful at Wolverhampton in January. Second of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 9/2) 45 days ago. More needed now handicapping but he's anything but exposed.

Form: 6-12

Torvar^p³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79| D

6/1

8/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 33 days ago. 5 lb rise demands more but he's clearly on an upward curve and has to be respected in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 3812-11

Lieutenant Rascal^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: George Scott| OR: 73| BF| D

8/1

Winner at Brighton in September. 5/6, 2¼ lengths third of 5 to Ziggy's Missile in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and bold show likely with blinkers refitted here.

Form: 34128-3

(7)

Ziggy's Missile¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71| D

6/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago, well on top finish. Whether he will confirm those placings with the third, Lieutenant Rascal, who renews rivalry on 6 lb better terms, remains to be seen.

Form: 376-1

Forecasts

Cargin Bhui (13/8), Barnwell Boy (11/4), Ziggy's Missile (6/1), Torvar (6/1), Lieutenant Rascal (8/1), World Of Darcy (11/1), Mini Magna (50/1)

LIEUTENANT RASCAL failed to land the odds when third to Ziggy's Missile back from a break at Wolverhampton recently, but he was only beaten 2¼ lengths and meets that rival on 6 lb better terms. Consequently, George Scott's charge is taken to emerge on top this time and while Ziggy's Missile is certainly not discounted, a bigger threat may be posed by the hat-trick seeking Torvar.
