Act Of Violence^t¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (6f, good) when last seen in October. Could have a big say if fully tuned-up for this.

Form: 812024-

Dapperling¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 177 days. Resumes on an attractive mark and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track.

Mister Sox^p¹⁵¹

7/2

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) when last seen in November. Act of Violence appears to be the stable No 1 judged on jockey bookings but he's one to consider nonetheless.

Form: 442544-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 66| D

9/1

16/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good). Off 6 months and others make more appeal on this occasion.

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Davies| OR: 59| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 6/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (heavy). Off 172 days but he won't be far away if resuming in good form.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 59

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 28 days ago, doing too much too soon. Opposable.

Form: 000-466

Forecasts

Sacred Falls (3/1), Mister Sox (7/2), Act Of Violence (4/1), Protest Rally (9/1), Animate (9/1), Fenlander (9/1), One Of Our Own (11/1), Highjacked (14/1), Dapperling (14/1), Daytona Lady (28/1), Bazball (40/1)

DAPPERLING ended last season out of sorts but she has been given a chance by the handicapper (10 lb lower compared to when making her seasonal reappearance in 2024) and could be worth chancing in this open-looking contest. The Tim Easterby-trained duo Act of Violence and Mister Sox rate the main dangers, with Highjacked also expected to feature.
