Laheg^p⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: M Botti| OR: 81| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 48 days ago by short head from Muscika. Remains on a fair mark and seems likely to go well again.

Form: 0746-31

Ice Cool Harry^h⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 79| CD

10/3

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (9/4) at this C&D 43 days ago by ¾ length from Muscika, slowly away. Quirky, but still unexposed and remains well treated, so worth a chance to follow up.

Form: 4140-41

Muscika^v¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| CD

11/1

3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 8/1) 16 days ago. Should be on the premises again.

Pockley^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 77| D

14/1

7/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago, merely closing up late. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 5-56328

Tyger Bay^b,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Gilligan| T: C Allen| OR: 75| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 15/2) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration.

Form: 31-7824

Habooba^p⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 71| BF| D

6/1

Winner at Lingfield in December. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/4) 56 days ago. Can't be discounted.

Form: 9221-24

Forecasts

Laheg (2/1), Ice Cool Harry (10/3), Tyger Bay (11/2), Habooba (6/1), Leap Abroad (9/1), Muscika (11/1), Pockley (14/1), Navello (22/1)

ICE COOL HARRY did well to get up after a slow start over C&D last time and, with a solid pace on the cards, he's expected to do better again, so he's marginally preferred to Laheg, who remains on a fair mark after his cosy success at Lingfield. Muscika has been beaten by both of the aforementioned pair recently but should still be on the premises.
