13/8

Got off the mark over 6f at Doncaster last June. Shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off (had breathing operation in interim) when 11/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. That should put him spot on for this. Solid claims.

Form: 31320-5

4/1

Latest win at Southwell in November. Stepped up on reappearance when creditable second of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 5315-62

Fletchers Dream¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 65| D

25/1

Ended last year with a couple of lesser efforts and likely needed the run when thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 33/1) 16 days ago. More required back down in trip.

Form: 56198-0

Profiteer¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

5/1

Not disgraced when 15/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, needing stiffer test. Only 1 lb above his last winning mark and looks interesting stepping back up to 6f.

Form: 8115-85

Sugar Baby¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: P D Niven| OR: 63| C

9/2

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 18 days ago. Now 3 lb higher in a better race but should remain competitive.

Form: 841571

Cuban Storm²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Dods| OR: 62| C

22/1

Below form since winning 5f handicap at this course last May, although likely needed the run when last of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to step forward from that effort.

Form: 20109-0

Nazalan²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 61

20/1

Wore blinkers/tongue tie for first time when disappointing ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) on final run for S. P. C. Woods. Headgear left off for stable debut. Revival needed.

11/1

Course winner failed to come on for reappearance when fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 9 days ago. May see the best of him back up in trip.

Forecasts

Novello Lad (13/8), Willolarupi (4/1), Sugar Baby (9/2), Profiteer (5/1), Deputy (11/2), Kode Secret (11/1), Nazalan (20/1), Cuban Storm (22/1), Fletchers Dream (25/1)

NOVELLO LAD wasn't disgraced on reappearance after 8 months off and is entitled to improve for that run. He can make his second start after wind surgery a winning one at the expense of Willolarupi, who races off a 1 lb lower mark than when runner-up last month, while Profiteer should benefit from this step back up to 6f.
