7/1

Course winner. 18/1, wasted no time getting back to form with a visor refitted when third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Not discounted from this sort of mark.

Form: 725-573

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed| OR: 57| CD

15/2

Latest win over C&D in September. Eighth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 32 days ago, weakening over 1f out having been caught a touch wide. Cheekpieces on 1st time and better showing distinctly possible.

15/2

Four wins from 26 runs last year. 9/1, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago, staying on to lead dying strides. Has good chance with Rossa Ryan again in the plate.

Papa Don't Preach^v1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: K Frost| OR: 55| C

6/1

Course winner. 7/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 14 days ago. Issues at the start remain a concern but he lines up here operating 2 lb below last winning mark and switch to a visor could help. Not discounted.

Form: 455-756

Eldeyaar^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55| CD

14/1

3-time C&D winner. Fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 8 days ago, weakening having gone off pretty hard. Others more persuasive.

Autumn Angel^b⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) 4 days ago. Definite each-way claims again returned to sprinting.

Form: 1-31544

Under Curfew⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

8/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D 8 days ago, a well-run race back at this trip suiting him well. Should be up to making his presence felt again under a penalty.

Form: 30-5431

Radiant Angel^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 54

11/1

Fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 13/2) 6 days ago, not seen to best effect from off the pace but finishing off his race well. Remains a maiden following 11 attempts but down to a workable mark and he's worth a second look.

Form: 07-3304

Porfin^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 53| CD

11/1

Timebar^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 52

16/1

Blinkered for 1st time, tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 16/1) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Cheekpieces back on. Must improve.

Form: 0/74-878

Red Walls¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee| T: L Williamson| OR: 47| CD

33/1

5-time course winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Last of 9 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 14 days ago, weakening over 1f out. No surprise to see prominent tactics re-employed here but his draw could have been kinder.

Form: 2-41259

Forecasts

Autumn Angel (11/4), Papa Don't Preach (6/1), Thismydream (7/1), Shamardia (15/2), Sisters In The Sky (15/2), Under Curfew (8/1), Radiant Angel (11/1), Porfin (11/1), Chiedozie (12/1), Eldeyaar (14/1), Timebar (16/1), Red Walls (33/1)

The likelihood of a well-run race will play firmly into the hands of recent C&D winner SISTERS IN THE SKY, so he's selected to come out on top again operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Similar comments apply to fellow last-time-out scorer Under Curfew and he's respected. Radiant Angel is another worth a second look having eased in the weights of late.
