Grace Angel^b,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 84| D

5/1

8/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. 1 lb lower now and she's not without an each-way chance.

Form: 55-5593

(5)

Good Earth²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 83| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago and this 8-y-o is best watched on the back of that low-key display.

Form: 15200-8

(3)

Trilby¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: S England| OR: 82| D

13/8

Four wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win at Haydock in October. 14/1, respectable twelfth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 72210-0

Elegant Erin³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 82| CD

10/3

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in November. Fifth of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 36 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 1651-55

Moon Flight^h⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 80| D

10/1

22/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 43 days ago. Relatively unexposed on turf and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 2513-84

(6)

Dickieburd^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: I Furtado| OR: 78| D

8/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) when last seen 6 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster and cheekpieces back on. Others preferred.

Form: 574259-

Equity Law²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

9/1

25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW). Off 7 months and he's opposable on this debut for new connections.

Forecasts

Trilby (13/8), Azure Angel (11/4), Elegant Erin (10/3), King Of Tonga (9/2), Grace Angel (5/1), Dickieburd (8/1), Equity Law (9/1), Moon Flight (10/1), Good Earth (20/1)

TRILBY was unlucky not to finish closer on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster recently and, back at 5f with that run under his belt, Sam England's charge could be the answer, granted better luck-in-running this time. Moon Flight didn't shape badly on the all-weather last time and is second choice ahead of Azure Angel and King of Tonga.
