Crescent Lake³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 84| D

11/1

Three wins from 9 runs last year. 125/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 31 days ago. Significantly down in trip and also back at a more realistic level.

Form: 14120-0

Approachability¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 83

12/1

Winless since debut back in 2021, finishing last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 11/1) 16 days ago. That was on the back of 20 months off so this will reveal more.

Form: 92560/9

Sonnerie Power²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| C

17/2

Doubled career tally here in October. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 66/1) 22 days ago and drop in trip looks a good move.

Form: 7107-00

Liseo^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 82| CD

11/4

Doubled career tally over C&D in January. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop.

Form: 44-1757

(9)

Just An Hour¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 81

33/1

First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when last of 9 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8f) 19 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 31000-9

(7)

Isle Of Sark¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 81

2/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Shaped well when third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 5/2) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Isn't the easiest to win with but has to be taken very seriously.

Form: 726-D23

Cello³⁷

Weight: 9-8| Age: 4

T: A M Balding J: Oisin Murphy

Forecasts

Isle Of Sark (2/1), Liseo (11/4), Cello (3/1), Fast Steps (15/2), Sonnerie Power (17/2), Crescent Lake (11/1), Good Too (12/1), Approachability (12/1), Oslo (14/1), Just An Hour (33/1)

ISLE OF SARK seemingly needs everything to fall right but he was a pretty big eye-catcher when third held up in a steadily-run race at Southwell 12 days ago and he looks ready to strike. Cello probably needed the run on his return to action and he seems sure to leave that effort behind, with Fast Steps another to consider on reappearance.
