Nacho Nacho Nacho^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Jack Morland| OR: 65| D

9/2

9/1 and visored first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 8 days ago, always holding on. Only nudged up 2 lb and should go well again if the headgear continues to work.

Form: 465361-

Bavaria Iron⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 64

9/1

Two 1m wins at Newmarket last summer. Off 3 months, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 18 days ago. Respected with that run behind him.

Fair maiden. Very good third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (7f) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 689053-

Winter Crown³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 63

Swiss Ace^v1¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61| D

7/1

Twenty four runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (7f) 19 days ago. Visor on first time. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 376549-

(12)

Simply Blue^t1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: James Owen| OR: 60| D

11/2

One win from 22 starts. 17/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 8 days ago, not clear run. Tongue strap on first time. There's still time for him to click with this yard.

Form: 448877-

(5)

Portoro^h,t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Heard| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 60| CD

Pit Boss^b1,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: L Bailey| OR: 57

6/1

Remains a maiden after 17 starts. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago, never nearer. Blinkers on first time.

Form: 323727-

Forecasts

Nacho Nacho Nacho (7/2), Portoro (4/1), Dapper Gee Gee (5/1), Invincible Melody (13/2), Jamaican Storm (7/1), Dashing Donkey (12/1), Enpassant (12/1), Pit Boss (14/1), Simply Blue (16/1), Winter Crown (20/1), Swiss Ace (20/1), Bavaria Iron (33/1)

JAMAICAN STORM's latest Newcastle third suggests he may be capable of taking advantage of his reduced mark. Last week's Wolverhampton runner-up Dapper Gee Gee is second choice ahead of Nacho Nacho Nacho and Portoro.
