Minnesota Lad⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 75| D

2/1

Good start for new yard when second in a C&D handicap in December. Not in same form when sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 13/2) 46 days ago but better showing certainly not ruled out back down in grade.

Form: 10062-6

Mumayaz^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in February. 6/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Not taken lightly.

Form: 2-71146

Whenthedealinsdone^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: R A Teal| OR: 72| CD

11/4

Ended long losing run at Lingfield (6f) in January and justified good support when following up in 8-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Needs considering in hat-trick bid.

Form: 3062-11

Muscika^v²²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 71| CD

10/1

Veteran 3-time C&D winner. Back on the scoresheet at Newcastle in January and remained in form since, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago, that despite racing closer to the pace than ideal. Should give another good account.

Form: 644-133

Northcliff^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Michael Keady| OR: 70| C| D

4/1

Course winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Fallen back down to last winning mark and another who is not out of things.

Form: 397-245

(4)

Diamond Dreamer^b³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 69| CD

16/1

Four wins from 10 runs last year (including over C&D). 4/1, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 32 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 165-732

Brian The Snail^p¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 68| D

14/1

Latest win at Newcastle in December. 13/2, tenth of 11 in handicap back at that venue (6f) 12 days ago, pushed along 2f out but never a threat. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 1-63420

Sioux Warrior¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 68

66/1

Fair maiden who disappointed on each of his 2 starts in handicaps last summer. Starts out for new yard having changed hands for just 1,200 gns in September and he's probably best watched.

Forecasts

Minnesota Lad (2/1), Whenthedealinsdone (11/4), Northcliff (4/1), Siobhanbrogan (5/1), Hierarchy (6/1), Mumayaz (7/1), Muscika (10/1), Brian The Snail (14/1), Diamond Dreamer (16/1), Sioux Warrior (66/1)

MINNESOTA LAD wasn't at his best on his latest start at Southwell in January, yet he'd run well when chasing home a subsequent winner over C&D previously and could just be worth chancing to bounce back in what rates a wide-open contest. Hierarchy and the hat-trick seeking Whenthedealinsdone are just a couple of others making the shortlist.
