Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 75| D

2/1

Latest win at Haydock in September. Has been in good heart this year, coming up against a pair of in-form rivals when third of 7 in handicap at this course (12.1f, 4/1) 4 days ago. Can make her presence felt.

Form: 146-873

Coolnaugh Haze¹⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Aidan Keeley| T: James Owen| OR: 72

7/1

Fair hurdles winner who has only had the 3 starts on the level. With cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, below expectations when sixth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 3/1) in December. Could do better now handicapping.

Form: 27/6-

Absolute Queen^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee| T: G Boughey| OR: 70| D

18/1

Fit from her hurdling debut, again ran below form when ninth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 11 days ago. Others more persuasive at present.

Form: 43329-9

Urban Road^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton| T: A D Brown| OR: 66| C

7/2

Four wins from 15 runs last year and added to his tally at Newcastle (10.2f) in January. Again not seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at the same C&D 15 days ago, meeting trouble. Not discounted.

Form: 0-21947

Zillion¹⁵⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 60

20/1

Won twice last summer and remained in good form for the remainder of the year, having hopeless task from position when third of 11 in handicap at Bath (17.1f, heavy, 11/2) in October. Down in trip on return from 5 months off.

Form: 411223-

Destinado^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 60| CD

2/1

Four-time winner this year, with latest success over C&D in February. Not discredited when fourth of 9 in handicap here (14.1f, 9/4) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Leading contender back down in trip with blinkers reapplied.

Form: 116414

Forecasts

Real Terms (2/1), Destinado (2/1), Urban Road (7/2), Coolnaugh Haze (7/1), Absolute Queen (18/1), Zillion (20/1)

DESTINADO has won 4 times this year since joining his current yard and had excuses when fourth at this course 11 days ago, not ideally positioned on the far flank, so he is taken to add to his tally back down in trip. Real Terms races off her last winning mark and could be the main danger, ahead of Coolnaugh Haze who makes his handicap debut in this sphere.
