Gundogan^b²¹

7/1

Fair performer. Ran respectably when 3rd of 11 in a 6f handicap at this course (18/1) 21 days ago with blinkers back on. The return to 7f could be a positive move.

Form: 35-0473

11/2

Won at Lingfield over 8f in December and finished fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10/3) 105 days ago when caught wider than ideal. Cheekpieces back on, visor removed.

Form: 2231-44

Dutch Finale⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 67

1/1

Won readily in a 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (7/2) over 6f just 7 days ago, leading final 1f and drawing clear. Running under penalty but pedigree suggests stepping up to 7f could bring further improvement. The one to beat.

Form: 577-81

Nubough^t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 59| CD

14/1

Has been in good form with two wins at Chelmsford City this season (dead-heated for first in a handicap at this course and distance 35 days ago). Could be competitive again.

Form: 02-6181

Thomas Equinas^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 57| CD

15/2

Course specialist with 4 wins over this C&D and two recent runner-up finishes here. Seventh of 11 in handicap over 6f at this course (18/1) 21 days ago when racing wide and not seen to best effect. Should appreciate return to 7f trip.

Queen Of The Roses²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: M Appleby| OR: 67

13/2

Won a 7-runner 6f maiden at Newcastle (12/1), green but stayed on well to lead final 50 yards, 201 days ago. Should have no issues with return to 7f for handicap debut. Very interesting.

Wild Embers¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: D Donovan| OR: 67

28/1

Showed promise when third of 12 on debut in Ireland, but form has regressed. Fifth of 8 in 7.6f novice race on turf at Lingfield (50/1) 14 days ago, unsuited by the step up in trip. Making handicap debut today.

Forecasts

Dutch Finale (1/1), H Key Lails (11/2), Queen Of The Roses (13/2), Gundogan (7/1), Thomas Equinas (15/2), Rapido Girl (10/1), Nubough (14/1), Wild Embers (28/1)

DUTCH FINALE made amends for blowing the start on his handicap debut by scoring impressively at Lingfield and the step up to 7f could bring further improvement from this progressive three-year-old. Course specialist Thomas Equinas, with four wins over this C&D, should appreciate returning to his favoured trip, while Queen of the Roses makes an intriguing handicap debut following a staying-on maiden success in November.
