Hitched^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: K Shoemark| T: D M Simcock| OR: 78

7/4

Seven wins from 25 Flat runs, the latest win at Lingfield (10f) in January. 17/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago, edged out final 50 yds. Consistency hard to knock and possibilities if seeing out the longer trip.

Form: 2-12352

(2)

Sax Appeal^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Johnston| OR: 77| C| D

7/4

Eased in weights and back to form with blinkers enlisted, winning back-to-back Wolverhampton handicaps at this trip in recent weeks. Definite claims again in hat-trick bid having been nudged up 4 lb.

Form: 395-911

(6)

Ocean Heights^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 74| D

18/1

14/1, not seen to best effect after 3 months off when 12 lengths last of 9 to Sax Appeal in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago, denied a run over 2f out and never dangerous. Better showing anticipated.

Form: 73480-9

(5)

Lexington Knight^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 72| D

9/1

Unreliable type. 22/1, typically raced lazily when 4¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Sax Appeal in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago, left behind home turn. Others more persuasive.

Form: 5775-75

(3)

Haliphon^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67| D

20/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 12/1) 37 days ago, no extra final 1f. Step back down in trip a likely plus now but others appeal that bit more for win purposes.

Form: 4653-87

Sax Appeal (7/4), Hitched (7/4), Charlie's Choice (4/1), Lexington Knight (9/1), Ocean Heights (18/1), Haliphon (20/1)

SAX APPEAL has been revitalised by the application of blinkers, registering back-to-back victories over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in recent weeks, and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. David Simcock's fellow in-form pair Charlie's Choice and Hitched can provide chief resistance.
