Archduke Ferdinand¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 77| D

9/2

Hartswood³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 30 days ago. Eased further 2 lb and should be sharper this time, so he's not out of this.

Form: 708-655

Alethiometer¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: P Mathers| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 76

16/1

Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/2), left poorly placed. Off 173 days but this just her third start for current yard.

Form: 63722-6

Utilis¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 72

7/1

Good second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Likely to give it his all again.

Form: 6820-02

Too Much¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 72| D

150/1

125/1, last of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 11 days ago. Needs to settle much better.

Form: 2/317-69

Johnny Ringo^t⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 80| CWS

12/1

Course winner on final 2023 start. 20/1, last of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good) 48 days ago. Bounce back called for having undergone a breathing op.

Form: 221-39

Trais Fluors²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 70| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 40/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 25 days ago, given he was denied a clear run. One to consider.

Form: 173776

Perfectly Timed^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 79| D

4/1

Promising sort. Second of 8 in novice event (10/3) at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 38 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces on first time and opening mark could be lenient.

Form: 612

Only In Jakarta⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78| CWS

8/1

Winning reappearance here over 7f in January. 8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 73 days ago. More needed to defy current mark on the back of a wind op.

Form: 022-16

(13)

Cheshire Dancer²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer| OR: 77

6/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. That was disappointing on the back of a promising reappearance at Haydock.

Form: 3122-26

Distinction^v¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: J Mackie| OR: 61| D

22/1

Three wins from 10 runs this year. 13/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago, doing well to overcome pace bias. Carries penalty but he's clearly in excellent order.

Form: 742911

Fletchers Dream¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 75| C

25/1

Cheekpieces on for first time, second of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 16/1). Off 139 days. First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster.

Perfectly Timed (4/1), Archduke Ferdinand (9/2), Cheshire Dancer (6/1), Hartswood (13/2), Utilis (7/1), Baltimore Boy (7/1), Only In Jakarta (8/1), Johnny Ringo (12/1), Alethiometer (16/1), Trais Fluors (18/1), Distinction (22/1), Fletchers Dream (25/1), Too Much (150/1)

A winner on the AW on second start, PERFECTLY TIMED upped his game again when second in a Brighton novice that worked out well a month ago. With that in mind, his mark looks lenient fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Distinction is more exposed but is thriving at present, with Utlis also considered.
