Al Baahy^h²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost| OR: 58

9/2

Twenty runs since last sole previous victory in 2023 but largely holding form well in recent months, good third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 4/1) 25 days ago, running on. Significantly back up in trip and he's worth a second look.

Form: 8242-73

(8)

Whiteley Way^t1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: G Brown| OR: 57

16/1

Maiden who ran creditably starting out for new yard/after 4 months off when third in 9-runner handicap here (8.6f) in January. Inauspicious start over hurdles when pulled up at Hereford (16.2f) since but type to bounce back returned to the level. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 23876-3

My Brother Mike¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 55| CD

9/4

Veteran C&D winner who resumed winning ways here (8.6f) in November. Efforts mixed subsequently but back on track returned to patient tactics when fifth of 9 in handicap here (8.6f) 15 days ago. Worth considering operating from last winning mark.

Form: 614-095

Khangai^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 55| C

7/2

Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 5/1, run best excused when fifth of 7 in handicap back at that venue (11.1f) 10 days ago, denied a run and shuffled back over 2f out. Better showing anticipated with blinkers back on.

Form: 2-13435

(3)

Simply Red^h1,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 54

40/1

Fair winning handicap hurdler who failed to improve for switch to handicaps in this sphere when eighth of 10 in a C&D contest 17 days ago. Needs to pull out more now equipped with a first-time hood.

Form: 84-58

(2)

Port Noir^t³⁶

15/2

6-time course winner. Three wins from 29 runs last year. 10/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 36 days ago. Should give another good account on back of wind surgery.

Form: 4323-45

(1)

Star Of Jupiter^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 53| CD

8/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who sprung a surprise with blinkers reached for when readily landing 9-runner minor event over C&D 2 weeks ago. Appeared no element of fluke about that and he's respected making handicap debut.

Form: 74-71

(9)

Mykonos St John^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| CD

10/1

Course winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. 16/1, good fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, plenty to do 2f out and never able to land a blow. Others appeal more for win purposes judged on recent exploits.

Form: 94-7765

(4)

Tancredi^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: P S McEntee| OR: 50

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 29 days ago. Down in trip. Something to find on form.

Form: 229-66V

Forecasts

My Brother Mike (9/4), Khangai (7/2), Al Baahy (9/2), Port Noir (15/2), Star Of Jupiter (8/1), Mykonos St John (10/1), Whiteley Way (16/1), Simply Red (40/1), Tancredi (40/1)

MY BROTHER MIKE bounced back to form reverting back to patient tactics when finishing a close-up fifth over shorter here 2 weeks ago and, back on his last winning mark, he could be worth chancing to build on that run back up in trip. Al Baahy, Star of Jupiter and Khangai are others to consider.
