Timeless Charm⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: H Crouch| T: K P De Foy| OR: 80

17/2

Lightly-raced winner. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 57 days ago. Probably best watched on this debut for new yard.

Caramay^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 74| C| D

16/1

Six wins from 21 Flat runs. Four wins from 10 runs last year. 3/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (11.1f) 16 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should give it a good shot in her bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 2123-11

Humble Spark⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| D

16/1

Four wins from 15 runs last year. 6/4, respectable second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 7 days ago, not knocked about. One to consider.

Form: 2351-12

Sharp Distinction^b,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 70| D

33/1

Latest win at Lingfield in November. 16/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 12 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkers back on.

Form: 62461-0

Hebridean Nomad²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Makes tapeta debut and, provided that he takes to this surface, another good run is likely off an unchanged mark.

Form: 41/4-2

Nowhere^h1⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 72

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 98 days ahead of this yard/handicap debut and improvement is needed. Hood applied.

Form: 28236-

The Bay Warrior¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| C

7/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, 4/1) 15 days ago, cosily. Only gone up 2 lb for that and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 17532-1

Forecasts

Charlie's Choice (9/4), Skye Breeze (10/3), Hebridean Nomad (4/1), The Bay Warrior (7/1), Timeless Charm (17/2), Humble Spark (16/1), Caramay (16/1), Ocean Heights (25/1), Graze On Phoenix (25/1), Sharp Distinction (33/1), Nowhere (40/1)

This is tougher than the handicap THE BAY WARRIOR bagged here recently but he appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve and, upped just 2 lb, he is taken to strike again. There are dangers aplenty, headed by the consistent Charlie's Choice, with the hat-trick seeking Caramay, Humble Spark and lightly-raced Hebridean Nomad others with claims. Top-weight Skye Breeze is also worthy of consideration.
