4/1

4-y-o who posted a career-best display to make it 2 wins from last 3 starts in 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m) 5 days ago. Possibilities again turned out quickly under a penalty.

Form: 45-2151

Light Up Our Stars^h,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 10/1) 19 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Others more persuasive.

Form: 743-858

Charlatan⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 54| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 7/2, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, just failed having conceded first run. Pulled nicely clear of the remainder then and of interest here from unchanged mark.

Form: 2-12342

(9)

Carey Street¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| CD

8/1

4-time course winner. 5/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago, weakening when headed over 1f out. Mark has eased a little more and he's certainly not out of things for in-form yard.

Form: 6453-68

Pessoa^p1⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 52| CD

13/2

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 47| CD

20/1

7-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event (25/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 4 days ago. Better showing not ruled out returned to this venue but others preferred for win purposes nevertheless.

Form: 5-69727

Alyara^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 47| D

22/1

17/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 11 days ago, rushed up to dispute lead before weakening over 2f out. Consistent in 3 previous starts for present stable and another fancied to bounce back with usual cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 531-446

(7)

Aspire To Glory^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 46

Forecasts

Charlatan (13/8), Just Typical (4/1), Night Arc (6/1), Pessoa (13/2), Carey Street (8/1), Aspire To Glory (12/1), Light Up Our Stars (12/1), Mr Slicker (16/1), Plumette (18/1), Inexplicable (20/1), Alyara (22/1), Zelma (33/1)

CHARLATAN again ran well and possibly would have come out the right side of a tight finish with a clearer run through when second over C&D last week. Clear of the remainder then, he holds sound claims operating from the same mark. Just Typical arrives on the back of a career-best success at Newcastle and he's feared, with Pessoa and Carey Street others worthy of a second look.
