Northcliff^v1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 68| D

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 26 days ago. Visor on 1st time and needs considering.

Form: 7-24545

(5)

Jojo Rabbit^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 67| D

7/1

Off 5 months and not seen to best effect when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 15/2) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly eased 1 lb.

Form: 67463-7

(8)

Dark Kestrel^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 67| D

(6)

Yazaman^b²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 67| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Looked rusty after 6 months off when a fading fourth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good) 23 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Form: 11692-4

(1)

Willolarupi¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 67| D

13/2

14/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 13 days ago, left with too much to do. Can give a good account.

Form: 45315-6

(9)

Glory Hyde¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: Roger Fell| OR: 66| D

4/1

Not best drawn when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 14 days ago. This fair 5f winner is weighted to go well off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 1232-70

(7)

Cuban Storm²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 64| D

12/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (5f) 7 months ago. Others more persuasive.

(2)

Hail Sezer^p¹⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: G A Harker| OR: 64| D

11/2

Cheekpieces back on when a solid third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 145 days but can't be ruled out with headgear again sported.

Form: 089093-

(4)

First Company³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 64| D

8/1

Latest win at Kempton in November. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/2) 32 days ago. No forlorn hope back on turf.

Form: 129-543

Forecasts

Glory Hyde (4/1), Hail Sezer (11/2), Northcliff (13/2), Willolarupi (13/2), Jojo Rabbit (7/1), Dark Kestrel (15/2), First Company (8/1), Yazaman (9/1), Cuban Storm (12/1), Milbanke (28/1)

A trappy sprint but GLORY HYDE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eleventh at Musselburgh last time and can now capitalise on a 3 lb lower mark. Jojo Rabbit also wasn't seen to ideal effect when a recent Wolverhampton seventh and is next on the list ahead of Yazaman and Willolarupi.
