50/1

66/1, last of 5 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes limited appeal.

10/1

Course winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Fourth of 13 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 10/1), having run of race. Off 6 months. May have more to offer on handicap debut.

Orange N Blue¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70

40/1

12/1

Found improvement, on debut for new yard, when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and may have more to offer yet.

Form: 73391-

Percy Willis^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 68| C

10/1

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 4 days ago, not knocked about. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 041065

(4)

Hartswood¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| C| D

20/1

Course winner. Latest win at Doncaster in September. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 40/1) 12 days ago. Work to do.

Form: 091079-

(1)

Urban Road^v⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 67| CD

13/2

Multiple course winner. Latest win here in December. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 4 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Respected.

Form: 535144

(6)

Alpine Sierra⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66| CD

5/4

Back to winning ways over C&D last month and was denied a clear run when fifth in follow-up bid here 4 days go. Big player.

Form: 366515

(2)

Midnight Lion²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 65| CD

11/1

First run since leaving Iain Jardine when taking 9-runner handicap over C&D 20 days ago, having run of race. Raised 4 lb since but must enter calculations.

Form: 724651-

(8)

Life On The Rocks¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

12/1

Four wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win at Windsor in August. 6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Others more appealing.

Form: 319606-

Forecasts

Alpine Sierra (5/4), Urban Road (13/2), Sonnerie Power (15/2), Percy Willis (10/1), Ribba Hill (10/1), Midnight Lion (11/1), Ever Hopefull (12/1), Life On The Rocks (12/1), Hartswood (20/1), Orange N Blue (40/1), Signora Bellissima (50/1)

ALPINE SIERRA would surely have gone close to following up his C&D victory with a clear run here last week and can gain compensation. Ever Hopefull and Sonnerie Power rate the principal dangers.
