Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 59

Maiden who ran creditably when third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) back in October. Returns with his new yard firmly amongst the winners and he's one to note.

Reputation¹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 59| CD

9/1

Veteran who got back to winning ways over C&D in November and good placed efforts both starts since, latterly when second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) 10 days ago. Definite claims of being in the mix again in present groove.

My Brother Mike^p²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: D Loughnane| OR: 58| C

9/1

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 5/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap back at that venue (8.6f) 24 days ago. Not out of things granted a good pace to aim at.

Ring Of Gold¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 54| D

10/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 17 days ago, going in snatches and never a threat. Handicapper has eased his grip a little more and he's not one to write off.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 54| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 17 days ago, fading over 1f out. Needs to get back on track.

33/1

C&D winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this course (8.1f) 11 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Mark is steadily easing at least.

Form: 38363-6

Big Narstie^t,v³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 53| CD

22/1

Quirky sort. C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 10/1) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Al Shabab^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 53

11/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 5/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, not quicken entering straight. Others make greater appeal for win purposes.

Form: 25605-5

Urban Dandy^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 52| C

15/2

Course winner. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 15/2) 25 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 683252-

Shaka¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 51| CD

11/1

7/1, career best when winning 11-runner minor event at this C&D 10 days ago, doing it with a bit to spare. More needed back in handicap company but he clearly comes here at the top of his game.

Forecasts

Soames Forsyte (3/1), Arika (7/2), Urban Dandy (15/2), Flash The Dash (8/1), Reputation (9/1), My Brother Mike (9/1), Ring Of Gold (10/1), Al Shabab (11/1), Shaka (11/1), King Of York (12/1), Big Narstie (22/1), Anif (33/1)

ARIKA's maiden status is off-putting but he starts out for a new yard going well and could be worth siding with to break his duck returning from 104 days off. Ring of Gold, who is lurking on a handy mark, and Reputation are a couple of others to consider.
