Alexander James^p,t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 64| D

10/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Fared little better under a change of tactics when eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 7/1) 34 days ago. Mark continues to tumble.

Form: 7-20488

(2)

Conquest Of Power^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62| C

13/2

Course winner in January. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. Significantly upped in trip and could have a say.

Form: 152525

Adelabella²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Wigham| OR: 62

28/1

40/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago, well positioned. Makes handicap debut. Step forward needed.

Form: 455

(3)

Prince Ali²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: D Faulkner| OR: 61

7/1

2/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, no match for a progressive winner. Can make presence felt dropped 1 lb.

Form: 26-0323

(14)

Local Music⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M Crawley| OR: 61| BF

6/1

Again ran creditably when fourth of 7 in handicap (5/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) a couple of months ago. Has to be taken seriously given she's not fully exposed.

Form: 3282-24

(11)

Powdering¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M Herrington| OR: 60| D

14/1

Finally delivered on the glimpses of promise she'd shown since joining this yard in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/2) 12 days ago. Can give another good account up 5 lb.

Form: 5-47441

(1)

Daphne May¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60| D

50/1

Four wins from 15 runs last year. Last of 13 in handicap (150/1) at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Readily passed over based on recent exploits.

Form: 57-9880

(5)

Nasim⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: M Pattinson| OR: 60| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Finished closer in a muddling event when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, 22/1) 44 days ago, well positioned.

Form: 205-474

(8)

Roscioli^t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: B R Johnson| OR: 60| CD

7/1

13/2, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D 44 days ago, just holding on. Nudged up just 1 lb and every chance he will be in the shake-up again.

Form: 4640-31

(10)

H Key Lails^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: M J Attwater| OR: 58| CD

9/2

C&D winner in February. 7/2, not seen to best effect when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 2 weeks ago, doing too much too soon. Can bounce back.

Form: 5-62214

(4)

Adace^p¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 58| BF| C| D

25/1

Course winner in November. Found things tougher when seventh of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7f) when last seen 4 months ago.

Form: 126317-

(7)

Recuerdame⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 56| C| D

50/1

Course winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in November. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 6 weeks ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 147-477

(9)

Above The Line⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 54

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 67 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Mark Loughnane.

Form: 08/389

(15)

Twilight Jazz¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 51

80/1

80/1, wasn't disgraced making her first outing since leaving Michael Appleby after 5 months off when seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago.

Form: 15026-7

(12)

Arlo's Sunshine²²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke| T: J E Long| OR: 45| D

100/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 33/1) 22 days ago. Not one to be interested in.

Form: 454-985

Forecasts

Nasim (4/1), H Key Lails (9/2), Local Music (6/1), Conquest Of Power (13/2), Roscioli (7/1), Prince Ali (7/1), Alexander James (10/1), Powdering (14/1), Adace (25/1), Adelabella (28/1), Daphne May (50/1), Recuerdame (50/1), Twilight Jazz (80/1), Arlo's Sunshine (100/1), Above The Line (150/1)

Several in with a squeak in a big-field finale but the vote goes to LOCAL MUSIC, who is proving expensive to follow this year but it's surely only matter of time before she opens her account. Second choice is Roscioli, who doubled his tally for current connections over C&D last time and he should be in the mix nudged up just 1 lb. Powdering and Conquest of Power complete the shortlist.
