16/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

5/4

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/5) 25 days ago. Up 6 lb but he scored readily there so he's a likely player again in his hat-trick bid.

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 13 days ago. Can give a good account.

Pembrokeshire^h¹²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| D

5/1

Resumed winning ways at Ayr (7.2f) in July and largely creditable efforts before a lesser run when seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to soft) in October. Starts out for new yard operating 2 lb below last winning mark, so interesting if the market speaks in his favour.

Forecasts

Cut To The Chase (5/4), Soames Forsyte (9/2), Pembrokeshire (5/1), H Key Lails (8/1), Turbo Command (11/1), Emily Post (12/1), Jump The Gun (16/1), Aram (16/1), Miss Sunset Strip (28/1), Royal Jet (33/1), Exceed Now (50/1)

CUT TO THE CHASE arrives on the up and from a yard well among the winners so is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Turbo Command has slipped to a handy-looking mark and could emerge as the main danger ahead of H Key Lails and Soames Forsyte.
