7/2

Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Needs things to drop right but he enters calculations under a penalty.

Form: 1128-51

13/2

One win from 22 Flat runs. In first-time cheekpieces, again below form when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1) in October. On a career-low mark as she makes first start since leaving Charlie Johnston.

Arika¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Jack Lander⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 57

11/1

After 3 months off, below form on first outing since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when seventh of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights, though, so he's not ruled out.

Form: 35453-7

Voltaic¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| D

14/1

Three wins from 14 runs last year, including at Lingfield in December. Again ran respectably when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/1) 18 days ago. More needed up against his younger rivals.

Form: 71435-5

Rising Force¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Henry Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 54| D

17/2

Doubled his tally at Chelmsford City in December. Not seen to best effect last 2 starts, fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 15/2) 18 days ago, keeping on when hampered final 100 yds. Could be in the mix.

Form: 3124-24

Forecasts

Drifts Away (5/4), Ciotog (7/2), Profitman (5/1), Swatch (6/1), Persian Phoenix (13/2), Rising Force (17/2), Arika (11/1), Voltaic (14/1), Unreal Connection (14/1)

DRIFTS AWAY has been holding his form well since going handicapping, not beaten far when third at Southwell last time and pulling clear of the remainder, so he could be ready to return to winning ways this time around. Profitman also arrives in good form and is feared most, ahead of the penalised Ciotog.
