2/1

Successful twice in 2024, including over C&D on his second start of the year. After 12 weeks off, again ran well when second of 7 in handicap here (5/2) 20 days ago, so he could be thereabouts once more.

10/1

Fitted with tongue strap on first start since leaving John Patrick Murtagh, shaped well when fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 22/1) 69 days ago, finishing with running left having been bumped 1f out. One to note.

Ready Freddie Go²⁰

33/1

Winner at Thirsk last summer. However, well held on final start last year, before shaping as if needing the run after 6 months off when last of 7 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Others still preferred.

33/1

Won at Newmarket and Sandown in August but ended last year with a lesser effort, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 33/1) in October. May just be better for this outing after 5 months off.

Tan Rapido¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 80| D

13/2

Mixed form in 4 starts last year, following a good effort with a below-par one when ninth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) when last seen in November. However, he has run well fresh and remains lightly raced.

Cloud King¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 80| CD

5/2

C&D winner on return last year and also scored at Haydock in the summer. Met trouble in running when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, soft, 20/1) on final outing in September, so he makes plenty of appeal on reappearance.

Je Ne Sais Quoi¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 77| D

18/1

Opened account for current yard at Ripon last summer. Hasn't managed to build on that effort since, though after 3 months off she shaped as if needing the run when last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 10/1) 17 days ago.

Rock Of England^v¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 76WS

20/1

Without a win in 2024 but was in good heart in second half of the year, again running well when fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 11/2) in September. Visor reapplied after 6 months off (has had a wind op).

Form: 833425-

Popular Dream¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 65| BF| CD

9/2

Both wins over C&D, with latest success in January. Not seen to best effect when third of 9 in handicap here (3/1) 10 days ago, denied a run approaching final 1f, so he could be in the mix at this venue.

CLOUD KING was unlucky not to finish closer when last seen at Chester in September, denied a clear run over 1f out, and having made a successful return at this C&D last year he could be ready to add to his tally. Heading the list of dangers is Sevensees, who shaped promisingly on his seasonal/stable debut, while Moulin Booj is also respected.
