Zoran^t⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: David Probert| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 80| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 3/1, below form third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 64 days ago. Return to this track is a plus but he looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 2893-13

Robusto^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 80| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 10/1) 24 days ago. Just 1 lb above last winning mark and shouldn't be far away.

Form: 98-2282

Artisan Dancer²⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 78| D

5/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) when last seen in August. Resumes on an attractive mark and will have every chance if raring to go.

Form: 373056-

Rogue Tornado²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 77

4/1

Latest win at Southwell in March. 3/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 24 days ago, slowly away. Didn't enjoy the best of runs on that occasion and should make his presence felt.

Form: 3433-14

Cinnodin^b³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 72| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 7 lengths seventh of 9 to Rogue Tornado in handicap (13/2) at Southwell (14.1f) 37 days ago, inadequate test. Likely to come up short once again.

Form: 5624-77

Hebridean Nomad³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 72| BF| C

5/2

Course winner. 11/4, 6½ lengths sixth of 9 to Rogue Tornado in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 37 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 41/4-236

Forecasts

Hebridean Nomad (5/2), Rogue Tornado (4/1), Artisan Dancer (5/1), Robusto (5/1), Zoran (11/2), Cinnodin (13/2)

This looks rather trappy and the suggestion is ARTISAN DANCER, who lacks a recent run but he boasts a fine record on the all-weather and is just 1 lb above the mark off which hit the target at Wolverhampton early last year. Rogue Tornado wasn't seen to best effect when behind Robusto in a Wolverhampton handicap last month and he is taken to reverse those placings here and emerge as the main danger.
