Gis A Sub^p¹⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 58| D

25/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to firm). Off 6 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Southbank^t,p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 58| BF| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Below form third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/4) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 712-233

Shamardia^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed| OR: 57| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 18/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Form: 763-842

Radiant Angel^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 57| CD

17/2

11/1, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, slowly away. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 7-33041

Papa Don't Preach¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: K Frost| OR: 56| C

8/1

Course winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 4/1) 16 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: H Bethell| OR: 56| D

2/1

7/2, won 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise by no means harsh and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 8-55511

Heartrate³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52| CD

9/2

7/2, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Nudged 3 lb and won't be far away if in a similar mood.

Form: 340-751

Red Walls⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: L Williamson| OR: 45| CD

16/1

Five-time course winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Forecasts

Raft Up (2/1), Southbank (9/2), Heartrate (9/2), Shamardia (6/1), Papa Don't Preach (8/1), Radiant Angel (17/2), Beaumadier (10/1), Red Walls (16/1), Gis A Sub (25/1), Carmarthen (40/1)

SOUTHBANK is a solid operator at this level and is taken to deservedley get his head back in front. He wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford but still managed to finish third and has twice found just one too good off slightly higher marks than this over C&D in recent months. The hat-trick seeking Raft Up is next on the list ahead of fellow last-time-out winners Heartrate and Radiant Angel.
