Virgin Bet Fives Handicap

Three wins from 17 runs last year (at up to 14f) and shaped as if she'd be better for the run following 5 months off when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 21 days ago. Merits consideration with that under her belt.

Successful over C&D in October (from Tafsir) and went in again at Catterick (15.9f) later that month. Better for reappearance run when second of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (12f) 3 weeks ago and entitled to be thereabouts.

Three wins from 14 runs last year, the latest at Kempton (12f) in November. Showed benefit of his reappearance run when second behind one who has fallen appreciably in the weights at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago and he's an interesting runner here.

Havana Gold gelding who surpassed previous efforts when fourth of 13 in handicap at Navan (14f) in August. Disappointed final start at Killarney a month later and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him having changed hands for 15,000 gns in the autumn.

C&D winner who added to his tally at Hamilton (12f) last June. Efforts proved mixed over timber since, sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, heavy, 7/1) 70 days ago. Needs to hit the ground running returned to this sphere.

Boasts just the one win from 26 starts on Flat but that came over C&D and he lines up in good form, second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 17 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Not out of things from what rates a workable mark.

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 200/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) 34 days ago, left behind 2f out. Steps back up significantly in trip for his handicap debut but would need to see market confidence behind him to make him of interest.
