Red Royalist^p,t⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Davies| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 63| D

40/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 56 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 5707-57

Mrs Twig¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 62

13/2

Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Others still appeal as better treated.

Form: 634676-

Mr Boson^h1,t³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 61

9/2

Good second here on penultimate outing but only seventh of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 39 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 20-8627

Beau Vintage^b,t⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 60

9/1

22/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 61 days ago. Blinkers back on. Edging down weights but others make greater appeal on recent form.

Form: 4580-39

(9)

Fravanco⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Madgwick| OR: 60

9/2

Again ran well when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago, despite being trapped wider than ideal. Solid claims again.

Form: 54972-2

(4)

Nivelle's Magic²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Simon Earle| OR: 59| D

3/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in November. 15/2, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, not entirely seen to best effect after having missed break and raced wide. Has to be taken seriously with better draw this time.

Form: 1141-34

Be Fair⁴⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: A Irvine| OR: 58| CD

50/1

C&D winner. 6/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW). Off 13 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Market should guide.

Form: 5/76122-

Churchill Rose¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 57

20/1

Never better than mid-field when eighth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D. Off 142 days. Others preferred.

Form: 731628-

Devizes²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: P Phelan| OR: 57| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 10/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting trouble in home straight. Now 5 lb below last winning mark and could be worth chancing.

Form: 0-06755

(11)

Asense^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 54| D

40/1

Three wins from 7 runs last year. Latest win at Bath in October. 40/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 31118-4

(10)

Big Jimbo^p¹⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 54| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 7/2). Has a solid record on all-weather and wouldn't be taken lightly if primed after 152 days off.

Form: 561024-

(13)

Cloudy Rose¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 50| D

80/1

Landed hat-trick last summer but generally below-par efforts towards end of 2023. Bit to prove on return from 6-month absence.

Form: 179644-

(12)

Alioski^p,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Brown| OR: 45| D

40/1

Good third of 12 in handicap at this course (11f) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but probably needs a couple of these to falter racing from just out of the weights.

Form: 27-5573

Forecasts

Nivelle's Magic (3/1), Fravanco (9/2), Mr Boson (9/2), Devizes (11/2), Mrs Twig (13/2), Beau Vintage (9/1), Big Jimbo (16/1), Churchill Rose (20/1), Red Royalist (40/1), Alioski (40/1), Asense (40/1), Be Fair (50/1), Cloudy Rose (80/1)

DEVIZES is on an eye-catching mark and surely would've finished closer than fifth granted more luck in running over C&D last month, so gets the verdict over Fravanco, who was beaten only by one on a roll here last time. Nivelle's Magic also shaped well when finishing one place ahead of the selection last time and is another to merit respect.
