15/8

Belatedly added to sole previous success when taking 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and must enter calculations.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| D

7/2

Three wins from 19 runs last year, latest at Wolverhampton in November. Arrives on back of respectable 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Emperor's Son in handicap at same course (5.1f, 4/1) 11 days ago and ought to give another good account.

Form: 21255-3

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Dace⁽³⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 63| CD

9/4

Posted best effort yet when winning 10-runner handicap over C&D 7 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty for that success but another bold bid is on the cards.

Forecasts

Emperor's Son (15/8), Popular Dream (9/4), Beaumadier (7/2), Sam's Hope (13/2), Brazilian Belle (13/2), Hostility (13/2), Birkenhead (9/1), Basholo (50/1), Honour Your Dreams (50/1)

POPULAR DREAM bagged his fourth success over this C&D last week and doesn't look too heavily burdened under a 5 lb penalty. He may be able to go in again. Brazilian Belle and Emperor's Son are also of interest.
