Jamie Bond⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 57| D

9/1

One of better efforts last year when fourth of 11 here in December, but failed to repeat that effort when last of 8 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 70 days ago. Capable of getting involved if on a going day.

Form: 04904-8

Bibendum^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 57

9/2

Remains a maiden and yet to fully fire this year, fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 18 days ago. Drops in grade but needs to find more to take advantage.

Form: 38-6065

Pockley^b⁶^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 52| CD

2/1

Wasted no time getting back to form when recording a fifth C&D success in 8-runner handicap here (15/8) 6 days ago. Carries a penalty but has to be taken seriously.

Latin Five⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 55| CD

6/1

Gained a second C&D success on his return in February and not seen to best effect when 2½ lengths fifth of 8 to Pockley in handicap here (3/1) 6 days ago, denied a clear run over 1f out. Enters calculations.

Form: 3379-15

So Grateful²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 54| D

2/1

Long time without a victory but step back in right direction when second of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 25 days ago, form which has been boosted since. Well treated if backing that up.

Form: 7467-52

POCKLEY has been going through a good spell, travelling well through the race when adding another C&D success to his tally 6 days ago, and a penalty might not prevent him from scoring again in his current form. There were better signs from So Grateful when only narrowly denied on his latest outing and he is feared most.
