My Boy Harry^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 55| D

7/2

Finished second twice in recent handicaps on AW. Finished fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (40/1) 13 days ago, never close enough to threaten over 8f. First-time blinkers replace visor and could sharpen him up back at 7f where he's run well previously.

Form: 62628-5

Kondratiev Wave^p⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| BF| CD

15/8

Placed third twice at Lingfield recently. Finished sixth of 11 at this C&D (15/8 favourite) 4 days ago, doing too much too soon after being restless in stalls. Without a win in 23 races. Cheekpieces replacing visor today.

Form: 4643-36

Kessaar Power⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: P S McEntee| OR: 53| C

13/8

Three-time Chelmsford winner who scored over 8f here last October, then finished fourth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell 9 days ago. Returns to a favoured track.

Form: 40195-4

Tootsie^t,p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 48

12/1

After a series of poor runs following October Southwell second, finished fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 4 days ago wearing tongue strap for the first time with cheekpieces. Without a win in 18 races, but signs of revival make her worth considering.

Form: 3278-04

20/1

Came last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (80/1) 38 days ago and difficult to fancy given poor recent form.

Form: 837670-

Forecasts

Kessaar Power (13/8), Kondratiev Wave (15/8), My Boy Harry (7/2), Tootsie (12/1), Straight Back Up (14/1), United Force (20/1)

KONDRATIEV WAVE has been consistent in handicaps and can bounce back from a recent below-par C&D effort where he did too much too soon. My Boy Harry should appreciate returning to 7f with first-time blinkers, while three-time course winner Kessaar Power returns to a favoured venue.
