Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| CD

17/2

Veteran who bounced back to form eased in grade/returned to testing ground when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (6.1f, heavy) 27 days ago. Drop in trip won't inconvenience him and respected nudged up 2 lb.

Danger Alert^v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: George Baker| OR: 82| CD

7/2

Course winner last season who produced one of his most encouraging efforts for present stable when fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f) 18 days ago, not clear run over 1f out before keeping on. Dropped to a handy mark and he's one to bear in mind.

Dickieburd¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 78| CD

2/1

Course winner who tasted success twice last season and quickly dispelled a lesser effort when runner-up over 5f here on his penultimate start in June. Respectable fifth from a wide draw back at 6f here 13 days ago and he's fallen back down to his last winning mark.

Coup De Force¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 75| D

3/1

Held form well during 2023 and ran right up to her best in trio of starts on turf since the spring, second of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Likely she'll give another good account for all her mark looks about right.

Form: 562-332

Rogue Thunder^t⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Murtagh| T: P Morris| OR: 72

33/1

Winner at Chelmsford City (7f) for Tom Clover in November but proved more miss than hit subsequently, proving too free on turf/stable debut (changed hands for 4,200 gns) when last of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f) 62 days ago. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 10-8260

Reigning Profit^v¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 72| D

5/1

Revived by refitting of a visor when successful at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in January. Plenty of solid efforts in defeat since, including when second of 6 in handicap back at that venue (5.1f) 11 days ago. Returns to turf operating from a workable mark.

DICKIEBURD arrives having run well on each of his last 2 starts in course handicaps, latterly when fifth from a tricky draw, and he could be worth siding with to resume winning ways back on his last winning mark. Danger Alert caught the eye at Windsor last time and he's a threat. Veteran Hyperfocus is a player with a repeat of his performance that saw him come out on top over 6f here 4 weeks ago.
