Dontspoilasale⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 81| CD

9/2

Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (5f) 7 days ago, the switch to hold up tactics seemingly against him. Likely bounce back candidate and he may pose the biggest threat to Harry's Bar.

Form: 283-647

Harry's Bar^b,t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁵⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 94| CD

4/7

Useful gelding. 4-time C&D winner. Fifteen wins from 59 Flat runs. 2/1 and blinkered for 1st time, second of 4 in minor event at this C&D 21 days ago. The one to beat down markedly in class.

Form: 22256-2

Alhather^p1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Eoghan O'Neill| OR: 72

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, off 10 months/first run since leaving Andrew Balding when bit below form fourth of 10 in maiden at this course (7f) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and better showing could well be on the cards with that run under his belt.

Form: 2/347-4

Prince Of Love⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: C Martins| T: M J Browne

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) 77 days ago, plugging on final 1f. Needs to find some progress if he's to trouble the principals here.

Form: 36-

(11)

Dandys Derriere^p,t⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Sorcha Woods⁽⁷⁾| T: John O'Toole| OR: 66| D

125/1

Fair gelding. 33/1, first run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when last of 14 in handicap at this C&D in November. Needs to leave that effort in his wake dropped down in class.

Form: 1/24390-

Devil's Angel^p1²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 63| D

11/1

Fair gelding. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, creditable fifth of 11 in claimer at this course (7f) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 4473-35

Fly To Glory²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Crosse| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 69| BF| CD

7/2

Fair gelding. C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Bit below form fourth of 11 in claimer at this course (7f, 6/4) 28 days ago. Claims of making the frame returned to sprinting.

Form: 0051-14

(2)

Nezeeh^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alan Casey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 68| D

12/1

Fair gelding. Respectable fourth of 13 in claimer at this course (8f, 50/1) 14 days ago, possible he'd have benefited from stronger handling. Each-way claims possibly his best hope back down in trip.

Form: 089-804

(6)

Cleverlydoesit

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Ryan⁽³⁾| T: Conor Maxwell

250/1

Kuroshio gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m winner Easter Diva and 8.7f winner Fairy Flute.

No Speed Limit^v¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 48| CD

66/1

Modest gelding. 4-time course winner. Four wins from 88 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. This no easy task on these terms.

Form: 65-6603

Tribute To Jade^b³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: Jennifer Monaghan| OR: 36

250/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Last of 10 in maiden (200/1) at this course (7f) 32 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 900/00-0

Forecasts

Harry's Bar (4/7), Fly To Glory (7/2), Dontspoilasale (9/2), Devil's Angel (11/1), Nezeeh (12/1), Prince Of Love (50/1), Alhather (50/1), No Speed Limit (66/1), Dandys Derriere (125/1), Cleverlydoesit (250/1), Tribute To Jade (250/1)

HARRY'S BAR isn't the force of old as a 10-y-o but he remains capable of useful form and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to resume winning ways on these very favourable terms. Dontspoilasale rates the chief threat, ahead of Fly To Glory and Alhather.
