Roscioli^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: B R Johnson| OR: 62| D

8/1

Successful twice last year, latterly at Salisbury (1m) in August. May of needed first run for 3 months when fifth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 17 days ago and better anticipated re-united with Rossa Ryan.

Form: 21253-5

Forever Proud^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 62| C| D

7/2

Thrived this winter with cheekpieces fitted, gaining her fourth win since mid-December when taking 7-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago (all under this rider). Has to enter calculations again nudged up just 2 lb.

Form: 21-1261

Union Island⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen| T: C Johnston| OR: 62| D

7/1

Three wins from 9 runs last year, the latest at Southwell in December. 5/2, again ran creditably when third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 5/2) 8 days ago, better placed than most. Not taken lightly returned to 1m.

Form: 611-333

Zaltalla¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 60

20/1

Temperamental sort. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 25/1) 15 days ago, pushed along 2f out and keeping on well. Step up in trip worth exploring on that evidence.

Form: 7396-42

Mr Fustic^t1³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Andi Brown| OR: 60| D

11/1

11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, turned in a creditable effort without threatening when fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 30 days ago. Assessor has eased him a little more but others appeal more for win purposes. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 86650-5

Kondratiev Wave^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. 13/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 11 days ago, outpaced over 2f out before keeping on. One to bear in mind.

Form: 4327-24

Gone Rogue^h1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

50/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 14/1) 17 days ago, folding tamely. Hooded for 1st time.

Form: 22600-4

(10)

Rabinal^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: S Dow| OR: 56| CD

15/2

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 12/1) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive.

Form: 54109-7

(8)

Takeover Target^v,t1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: P Phelan| OR: 53

66/1

Winless for Tom Dascombe and low-key start for present stable, albeit possibly in need of the run after 4 months off when ninth of 11 in a C&D handicap 11 days ago. Tongue tie now added to the visor but he looks best watched at present.

Form: 7/6730-9

Ocean Odyssey⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: M McGrath| OR: 52

11/5

9/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 59 days ago, left poorly placed but certainly not looking the easiest of rides. First run for yard after leaving Gary & Josh Moore and worth noting if the market spoke in his favour again.

Forecasts

Ocean Odyssey (11/5), Forever Proud (7/2), Union Island (7/1), Rabinal (15/2), Roscioli (8/1), Kondratiev Wave (17/2), Mr Fustic (11/1), Zaltalla (20/1), Gone Rogue (50/1), Takeover Target (66/1)

FOREVER PROUD posted just about her best effort yet when gaining her fourth victory of this winter over 7f at Kempton 11 days ago and, nudged up just 2 lb, she looks a big player once more. Union Island, Kondratiev Wave and Roscioli head up the dangers in the opener.
