Cold Stare^p,t⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: N Callan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| CD

C&D winner who took advantage of an easing mark with headgear reapplied when landing 13-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 7 days ago, going clear inside final 100 yds. Player again from 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 40-7761

Harry's Halo^h,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 72| D

9/2

Dual winner as a juvenile. Unable to get his head in front in 6 starts last term but showed benefit of his reappearance run when second of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 8/1) 7 days ago, headed inside final 100 yds. Conditions fine and he ought to remain competitive.

Form: 2559-52

Hallowed Time⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70

20/1

Comes here on a lengthy losing run and he was operating below his best upon joining present yard on AW during the winter. Handicapper has given him a chance however returned to turf, so interesting if the market speaks in his favour with Jim Crowley an eye-catching booking.

Form: 4289-70

Trilby⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Gray| T: S England| OR: 69| BF| D

4/1

Ended last season in good form and handled the very deep ground better than most when making a winning return at Catterick (6f) at the start of the month. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (5f) 5 days ago and possibilities once more.

Form: 4623-15

(12)

Hiatus²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: C Allen| OR: 68| D

6/1

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f) in January and respectable efforts from revised mark on 2 of his 3 starts since, latterly when fifth of 13 in handicap back at that venue 4 weeks ago. Each-way claims back on turf.

Form: 8-41735

(11)

Heartrate^p⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| D

25/1

Showed improved form when landing back-to-back contests last summer, latterly on handicap/stable debut at Ffos Las (6f) in September. Form rather up and down since, disappointing when last of 8 at Southwell (6f) in February. Absent since.

Form: 7393-38

Sacred Falls¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: K Scott| OR: 68| D

4/1

Shed the maiden tag at Ayr (6f, soft) in October and respectable effort back from 5 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago. Proved a model of consistency on turf last year and likely to be sharper with that under her belt. One to consider.

Form: 22125-5

Nights Over Egypt^p¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: R Menzies| OR: 65| D

12/1

Winner at Thirsk in April. 8/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft) 1 day ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 7-34718

Mighty Power⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 65| D

22/1

All 4 career victories gained on AW, the latest at Newcastle (6f) in January. Not at his best back at that venue the following month but has a lower turf mark to operate from and he's gone well after a break previously.

Form: 267-136

(3)

Havana Rum²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

14/1

Responded well to the fitting of a visor during second half of last season, winning 6-runner Catterick handicap (6f) in September. Not in same form final 2 starts but shaped fairly encouraging back from 6 months off when fourth back at that venue 24 days ago. Likely to be sharper here.

Form: 73107-4

(10)

Loco Lobo^h²³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 54| C

50/1

Handled conditions well when running out a 66/1 winner over 5f here in July. Raced wider than ideal when well held at Wolverhampton (5.1f) final outing in September but others preferred on seasonal bow stepping back up in trip.

Form: 755810-

(5)

Peachey Carnehan^v¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-4| J: Laura Pearson| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 51| D

80/1

Veteran who bagged another couple of Wolverhampton handicaps earlier this year. Recent efforts on AW not so inspiring however and others arrive with more pressing claims returned to turf/back up in grade.

Form: 0-15167

Forecasts

Trilby (4/1), Sacred Falls (4/1), Harry's Halo (9/2), Cold Stare (9/2), Hiatus (6/1), Nights Over Egypt (12/1), Havana Rum (14/1), Hallowed Time (20/1), Mighty Power (22/1), Heartrate (25/1), Loco Lobo (50/1), Peachey Carnehan (80/1)

SACRED FALLS proved to be a model of consistency on turf last season and entitled to be sharper for her reappearance run at Southwell 16 days ago, she could be worth siding with to build on that with victory here. Cold Stare cashed in on his reduced mark at Thirsk and he's a danger, with Harry's Halo and Havana Rum another couple to consider.
