(7)

Fat Gladiator¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 60

7/2

Off over 2 years but he shaped encouragingly when fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Can take a step forward now and not without interest.

Form: 31244/4

Rabinal^h¹⁹

(10)

Taskheer^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: D Steele| OR: 53| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 12/1, creditable 3½ lengths sixth of 11 to Love Your Work in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 16 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 00-0126

Forecasts

Fat Gladiator (7/2), Mister Mojito (9/2), Francesi (9/2), Saturnalia (7/1), Taskheer (7/1), Masterofgreygoose (9/1), River Alwen (12/1), Love Your Work (14/1), Rabinal (20/1), Lincoln Legacy (28/1), South Kensington (100/1)

An open handicap and it could go the way of FAT GLADIATOR who shaped well after a long absence when fourth at Kempton recently and could build on it for his in-form yard. Francesi is on a long losing run but this C&D scorer could emerge as the main danger ahead of River Alwen, Love Your Work and Taskheer.
