(1)

Dembe⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Pearce| OR: 81| D

3/1

12/1, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 47 days ago, overcoming pace bias. 3 lb rise fair enough and another bold show is on the cards.

Form: 81514-1

Orbaan^t⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 10¼ lengths eleventh of 12 to Dembe in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 47 days ago. Looks up against it. Yard also saddles The Cookstown Cafu.

Form: 4838-30

Quiet Resolve¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| CD

2/1

C&D winner in December. 9/2, creditable second of 5 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Evidently goes well here and should make his presence felt.

Form: 321-852

(3)

The Cookstown Cafu^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 16/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Has edged down to an attractive mark and he could be a factor if on-song.

Form: 0286-56

(5)

Chuzzlewit^b⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track with blinkers refitted.

Form: 93907-6

(4)

Overnight Oats¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 73| BF| D

5/1

Four wins this winter, the latest at Southwell last month. 7/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Claims if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 451218

Outsmart²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 63| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago. Others look stronger.

Form: 09040/6

Forecasts

Quiet Resolve (2/1), Dembe (3/1), Chuzzlewit (10/3), Mr Mistoffelees (4/1), Overnight Oats (5/1), The Cookstown Cafu (17/2), Orbaan (22/1), Outsmart (40/1)

DEMBE did well under the circumstances when landing a Class 3 Lingfield handicap last time and a 3 lb nudge is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. He may have most to fear from Mr Mistoffelees, who has put in good shifts both starts in this sphere for present connections and he remains feasibly treated. The Cookstown Cafu and Quiet Resolve are others to consider.
