Dee's Dream⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 48| BF

5/2

One win from 23 Flat runs but has returned to form last 2 starts, third of 8 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f, 85/40) 41 days ago. Enters calculations in her current mood.

Form: 5876-33

Eva Rosie^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 49| CD

9/4

Off the mark in handicap at this C&D in January and shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 12/1) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces reapplied and she's a major player back down in grade.

Form: 98-7615

(6)

Keen Interest³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 47| CD

11/2

Doubled his tally at this C&D in November. However, he's run below form last 2 starts, seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 18460-7

Matt Cool¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: F Watson| OR: 39

150/1

Didn't show much in a trio of novice races last year, in first-time cheekpieces when well-beaten fourth of 5 at Redcar (8f, soft, 250/1) when last seen in October. Major improvement required as he goes up in trip.

Form: 754-

Pilgrim Of Culture^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 48

66/1

Has finished down the field in handicaps all 3 starts for current yard this year, last of 11 at this course (8f, 50/1) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces now reached for as she goes back up in trip.

Form: 746-970

(7)

Rampant^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 48

7/2

Remains a maiden but has made the frame in C&D handicaps all 3 starts for current yard, respectable fourth of 6 (13/2) on latest outing 3 weeks. Could be in the mix having his first try in this grade.

Form: 94034-4

Violeta¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 50| CD

7/1

Sole success came over C&D in September. Has offered little tried over hurdles of late, ninth of 10 in maiden at this venue (16.9f, good, 200/1) 19 days ago, but she could fare better back on the level.

Form: 35154-7

Forecasts

Eva Rosie (9/4), Dee's Dream (5/2), Rampant (7/2), Keen Interest (11/2), Violeta (7/1), Stoneacre (25/1), Pilgrim Of Culture (66/1), Matt Cool (150/1)

EVA ROSIE was suited by the step back up in trip when opening her account over C&D on her penultimate start and, having not been ideally placed last time, she is taken to resume winning ways back at this level. Dee's Dream has run well in this grade on her last 2 outings and could be thereabouts once more, with Rampant also considered.
