Bear Rock²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 69

14/1

Second of 8 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 11/1) 23 days ago. 2 lb rise for that near-miss is fair enough but one or two of the others are more appealing for win purposes all the same.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: H Main| OR: 67| CD

5/1

Won 10-runner handicap (9/4) at this C&D 30 days ago but a 4 lb rise in this higher-grade race could find him out.

Nacho Nacho Nacho^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jack Morland| OR: 65| CD

18/5

C&D winner in December. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 11/2) 8 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

80/1

28/1

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Last of 10 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 16 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Another who needs to bounce back.

Form: 397410-

River Wharfe^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Latest win here in October. Fifth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 11586-5

Forecasts

Bella Bisbee (7/2), Flowstate (7/2), Nacho Nacho Nacho (18/5), The Caribbean (5/1), Mart (6/1), Bear Rock (14/1), Arnaz (16/1), River Wharfe (20/1), Harbour Vision (28/1), Adelaide Bay (80/1)

The vote goes to FLOWSTATE, who has proved admirably consistent in recent months and wasn't seen to best effect when a close third in the recent C&D contest won by Nacho Nacho Nacho, a rival he meets on 2 lb better terms this time. Mart took a step back in the right direction at Lingfield on New Year's Eve and he looks dangerous off an attractive mark, while Bella Bisbee is also likely to be in the mix.
