5/4

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 15/8, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 23 days ago. Likely to give it another good shot.

Mr Zippi¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Alex Jary| T: Sara Ender| OR: 62

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 25/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Can build on that.

11/1

15/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 15 days ago. This step up in trip is far from certain to suit.

Further Measure^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 57| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 8/1) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly up just 2 lb given he retains handicap scope.

Form: 23752-1

28/1

Two Plus Two^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

16/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 25/1, good sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Something to find on form.

Forecasts

Daaris (5/4), Carlton (13/8), Further Measure (2/1), Mr Zippi (7/1), Blue Collar (11/1), Two Plus Two (16/1), Grand Duchess Olga (16/1), Kojin (20/1), Scylla (28/1)

CARLTON has been transformed by the switch to James Owen and assuming he's allowed to take his chance on the back of Saturday's success, the 5-timer may well be on the cards. Mr Zippi has a bigger performance in him on the level so he's second choice, ahead of Daaris.
