Partisan Hero^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 70| BF| D

15/8

Good third of 9 in handicap (9/5) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 29 days ago, running on. Will be a danger to all if taking to this surface.

Form: 00/22-33

Mister Mojito²⁰⁰

6/1

10/3, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm). Off 6 months but could have a part to play if he's raring to go following a wind op.

Swatch⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 68| BF| D

8/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 66 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Kaaranah⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Butler| OR: 67| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/4) 60 days ago. Back down in trip and would have a serious chance if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 87/7536-

Jersey Rocs^b³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Hills| OR: 66| D

4/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. 5/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 32 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Place possibilities.

Form: 9011-92

That's For Sure³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: Michael Keady| OR: 62

18/1

12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this polytrack/yard debut.

Form: 07/00-78

Flying Star²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: John Berry| OR: 56

66/1

Unreliable type. 40/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 33404-4

Lovely Jubly¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M J Attwater| OR: 53

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (250/1) 14 days ago. Interesting to see which way she goes in the betting now pitched into a handicap.

Forecasts

Partisan Hero (15/8), Kaaranah (3/1), Jersey Rocs (4/1), Mister Mojito (6/1), Swatch (8/1), That's For Sure (18/1), Sceptic (25/1), Flying Star (66/1), Lovely Jubly (66/1)

Having hinted at ability in her qualifying runs, LOVELY JUBLY is of interest now venturing down the handicap route off an appealing opening mark. She shades preference ahead of Partisan Hero, who has put in good shifts on all four starts since joining David Loughnane and should be on the premises once more. Kaaranah and Mister Mojito are others to consider.
