Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| D

16/1

2/1, putting it all together now and followed up from last time when winning 4-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago by ¾ length from Fidelius, edging ahead last ½f. 7 lb claimer on and could do better again.

Form: 25-5211

Underperformed returned to novice company when third of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 6 months ago, running on. Likely to need this on return.

Gogo Yubari¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 70| D

10/1

11/4, made it 4 wins from last 5 starts in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago, responding really well to front-running tactics back up in trip. Remains of interest nudged up another 3 lb.

Scoops Ahoy^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| D

16/1

Not in same form as on penultimate start when sixth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly back down to his last winning mark.

Form: 417-426

Split The Profit^v¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 69

4/1

7/2 and visored for 1st time, proved he can cut in on turf when third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Should get a decent pace to aim at so certainly not out of things.

Fidelius¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 68| BF

10/1

Well-backed 5/4, ran creditably after 6 months off (gelded in the interim) when ¾-length second of 4 to Miss Anya in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb and has to be taken seriously with that under his belt.

Form: 324-2

(3)

Wrestling Revenue¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| D

9/1

5/1, got off the mark under a confident ride in 5-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 10 days ago, always holding on. Will need to improve again to follow up.

Form: 77-6641

(8)

Via Blanca⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 66| D

9/2

First run since leaving Amy Murphy when won 11-runner handicap (well-backed 16/5) at Southwell (5f) a couple of months ago by short head from Split The Profit, just holding on. Remains of interest despite a 4 lb rise.

Form: 221-2U1

Law Of Average³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 66| D

4/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in November. Improved again after 5 months off and deserves extra credit considering how freely he raced when head second of 6 to Gogo Yubari in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 13/2) 36 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 75801-2

(11)

Southbank^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 64

16/1

3 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 4/9) 23 days ago, leading close home. Nudged up 2 lb and returns to the minimum trip for just a second time. Respected.

Musical Diva^v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: D O'Meara| OR: 62| D

12/1

8/1, ran creditably when sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Looks summed up by her mark at present.

Forecasts

Law Of Average (4/1), Split The Profit (4/1), Via Blanca (9/2), Wrestling Revenue (9/1), Fidelius (10/1), Gogo Yubari (10/1), Soldiers Design (10/1), Musical Diva (12/1), Tangled Up In Blue (12/1), Quercine (14/1), Miss Anya (16/1), Scoops Ahoy (16/1), Southbank (16/1)

An open-looking sprint in which plenty of these have met before, FIDELIUS selected to come out on top and prove the weight of support that came for Robert Cowell's charge at Wolverhampton recently wasn't misplaced. Gogo Yubari made it 4 wins from her last 5 starts on that same card 10 days ago, so she rates as an obvious danger, with Via Blanca and Scoops Ahoy another couple worth keeping an eye on, also.
