5/1

5/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 39 days ago. Others appeal more.

Alpine Oasis²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 79| D

8/1

Two wins from 5 runs last year. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/2) 25 days ago, finding little. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 51491-7

Ocean Heights^t⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 77| D

14/1

Last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 33/1). Off 99 days. Makes tapeta debut. Has fallen to a workable mark if back on song.

Wonder³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 77| BF| C

2/1

Course winner in November. 7/4, good second of 7 in handicap at this course (14f) 38 days ago. Remains low mileage and he merits serious consideration off the same mark.

Form: 32P/14-2

Lexington Knight^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 74| CD

22/1

3-time C&D winner but last of 7 in handicap at this course (14f, 11/1) 38 days ago. Unreliable individual.

Form: 65775-7

Sax Appeal^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 73| CD

13/2

11/1 and blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 7395-91

(7)

Brodie's Boy^b1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: P Attwater| OR: 74| D

9/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Something to find on form.

Form: 18692-7

(2)

Met Office^p1²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Butler| OR: 72| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not dismissed.

Form: 60466-7

(4)

Gozo^t¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 71

8/1

Off 6 months since a below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 3/1). Needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 3567/75-

Forecasts

Wonder (2/1), Crystal Mariner (5/1), Sax Appeal (13/2), Gozo (8/1), Alpine Oasis (8/1), Met Office (17/2), Brodie's Boy (9/1), Ocean Heights (14/1), Lexington Knight (22/1)

WONDER remains with few miles on the clock so James Fanshawe's 4-y-o is fancied to build on his good second here last time out and bag a second course success. C&D winner Met Office is feared most ahead of fellow C&D scorer Sax Appeal and the handily-weighted Ocean Heights.
