Las Ramblas³¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 81| DWS

4/1

Winning debut at Newcastle in February. Fourth of 12 in novice at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 3/1). Off 10 months (has had a wind op) and down in trip for handicap debut. In good hands and more to come but opening mark demands it.

Bajan Bandit¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 81| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Deserves plenty of credit for his consistency.

Form: 9-14164

Feel The Need²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 80| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 10/3) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed and also short of room. Easy to forgive that run as a result.

Form: 513-037

Silver Trumpet¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78| C

11/1

Three wins from 9 runs last year. 25/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Not yet exposed over this trip so he needs considering.

Chola Empire¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: D M Simcock| OR: 77| C

18/1

Course winner. Latest win here in February. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 10/1) 14 days ago, running on. Looks in the grip of the handicapper now.

Form: 600-414

Narmar¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Candlish| OR: 76| D

9/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Return to 1m in his favour.

Form: 086-768

Kingdom Of Time^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 76

9/2

16/5, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Paradoxical in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, better placed than most but didn't look straightforward under pressure.

Form: 5/3-5224

Overnight Oats²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 76| CD

5/1

Four wins from 16 runs last year. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 21 days ago by short head from Down To The Kid. Settled/left the stalls better than has been the case and that is the key to him.

Form: 121851

Clear Angel²⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S Corbett| OR: 74| D

20/1

33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 9 months. Back down in trip and returns to a more suitable grade of handicap.

Form: 4/44050-

Epidavros¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 74| D

66/1

Latest win at Hamilton in September. Good third of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Pontefract (8f, heavy) in what has his hat-trick bid. Off 179 days. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do.

Down To The Kid⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: M Herrington| OR: 61| CD

6/1

Four-time course winner. Won 7-runner handicap (13/8) at this C&D 7 days ago, readily. Carries penalty in a much deeper race but he's clearly in good heart.

Form: 5/0-0221

Eden Storm¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 65

33/1

Forecasts

Las Ramblas (4/1), Kingdom Of Time (9/2), Overnight Oats (5/1), Paradoxical (11/2), Down To The Kid (6/1), Bajan Bandit (6/1), Narmar (9/1), Silver Trumpet (11/1), Feel The Need (14/1), Chola Empire (18/1), Clear Angel (20/1), Eden Storm (33/1), Epidavros (66/1)

PARADOXICAL hasn't looked back since fitted with cheekpieces, winning 4 on the spin before finding only a subsequent scorer too good at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Down the field at Chelmsford on Thursday but probably still the one to beat if taking his chance. Overnight Oats can also boast an excellent strike rate so he's a danger, along with Silver Trumpet.
