Douglas Dc^b²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

15/2

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs but shaped quite encouragingly in first-time blinkers (retained) when third of 9 over C&D 29 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 32-4673

(1)

Jailbird^t⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: T Collier| OR: 54| D

33/1

Best effort over hurdles since joining Tjade Collier when third of 12 in handicap at Huntingdon (19.5f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Won on Flat turf for Richard Bandey last summer. Enters the reckoning back on the level.

Broad Daylight^t³⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Christian Howarth| T: K Bishop| OR: 53

14/1

Modest maiden in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Absent for 11 months ahead of this stable debut. Can only be watched.

Form: 993/066-

Avarice^p⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 49| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Won 12-runner classified event at Lingfield 8 days ago. Did that readily and leading claims back in a handicap under a 4 lb penalty.

Form: 69-0051

(4)

Marinakis³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 52| C

11/4

Second classified win of the winter when seeing off 8 rivals over 9.5f here in February. Looks on a feasible mark back in a handicap but his stamina isn't assured over this far.

Form: 7-12331

(2)

Honrado^t,p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49

25/1

Modest maiden. 6¼ lengths ninth of 12 to Avarice in classified event at Lingfield 8 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 07-2V79

(11)

Two Plus Two^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Wright⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 48| C

11/1

Sole win came here in January. Also runner-up over C&D last month but not at best back here since.

Form: 6-16527

(9)

Walk The Moon⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Zak Wheatley| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

8/1

11/1, respectable 4½ lengths fifth of 12 to Avarice in classified event at Lingfield 8 days ago, having to pick way through. Placed 3 times over C&D this year and likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 0-24325

(8)

Disquietude¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Morgan Cole⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 46

18/1

17/2, good third of 9 in C&D classified event 17 days ago. The stable also runs Avarice.

Form: 233743

(5)

This Time Maybe²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: George Bass| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46

9/2

Remains a maiden after 16 runs. 5/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course 20 days ago, not ideally placed.

Form: 0-32536

(3)

Temur Khan¹⁷⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

33/1

AW winner last summer but below par when last seen in the autumn. The stable has more obvious contenders elsewhere.

Form: 419690-

Forecasts

Marinakis (11/4), This Time Maybe (9/2), Avarice (6/1), Douglas Dc (15/2), Walk The Moon (8/1), Two Plus Two (11/1), Got Bright (11/1), Broad Daylight (14/1), Disquietude (18/1), Honrado (25/1), Temur Khan (33/1), Jailbird (33/1)

AVARICE had a bit to spare in classified company at Lingfield last week and is selected to make light of the penalty, perhaps at the main expense of Tony Carroll pair Douglas Dc and Walk The Moon.
