Under Curfew⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 15/2, won 8-runner handicap at Bath (5f, heavy) 8 days ago by head from Joy Choi, just holding on. Carries penalty and should give another good account.

Form: 3234-51

5/2

Course winner. Creditable head second of 8 to Under Curfew in handicap (11/8) at Bath (5f, heavy) 8 days ago, just failing. Cheekpieces on 1st time and may well turn the tables on that rival this time.

Form: 3133-22

Rhubarb⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: R J Price| OR: 54| CD

9/2

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 33/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Others look stronger on this occasion.

Won't Stand Down¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 54

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in minor event (40/1) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Improvement needed now handicapping.

Form: 90-5

(7)

Notre Maison^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W S Kittow| OR: 52| D

11/4

22/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago. Versatile ground-wise and she's one to consider back on turf with that run under her belt.

Form: 32227-4

15/2

Two wins from 42 Flat runs. 15/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Louis Treize^h³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: D Faulkner| OR: 46| CD

14/1

Tricky customer. C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 36 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.

Form: 1367-69

Forecasts

Joy Choi (5/2), Notre Maison (11/4), Jacquelina (4/1), Rhubarb (9/2), Under Curfew (13/2), Tommytwohoots (15/2), Louis Treize (14/1), Won't Stand Down (16/1)

The consistent JOY CHOI enjoys a handy pull at the weights with Under Curfew, who she was narrowly beaten by at Bath last week. The 6-y-o should exact her revenge on these revised terms and while Under Curfew may again be on the premises, a bigger threat this time could be provided by Notre Maison, who shaped well on her reappearance on the all-weather three weeks ago. Jacquelina scored at Windsor recently but needs to pull out more under a penalty here.
