Northern Spirit^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 81| C| DWS

11/2

Scored at Newcastle in August. Off 3 months before a below-par seventh of 9 in handicap there (6f) 35 days ago. Since had a wind op so this course winner could bounce back off a lenient-looking mark.

Master Of My Fate⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 80| CD

7/1

C&D winner who wasn't discredited when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 5 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 36678-4

Star Chorus^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy| OR: 80| CD

5/2

A dual C&D winner last year for Andrew Balding. Largely in good nick for his new yard, third of 5 at Lingfield on his polytrack bow a week ago. Can't be discounted.

Form: 61435-3

Moonstone Boy⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 77| CD

6/1

Scored at Carlisle (5f) last May but mainly below par since for Iain Jardine. This C&D winner needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence after 99 days off.

Ay Gee Ell^v²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| CD

7/2

Finally got off the mark over C&D in December and backed it up with a solid fourth of 8 in 6f handicap here 29 days ago, especially as he went freely. Worth considering back at the minimum trip.

Popular Dream⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 67| CD

9/2

A 4-time C&D winner, latest in January, but he came in just fifth of 6 in handicap here 4 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 3562-15

Forecasts

Star Chorus (5/2), Ay Gee Ell (7/2), Popular Dream (9/2), Northern Spirit (11/2), Moonstone Boy (6/1), Master Of My Fate (7/1)

A trappy sprint in which marginal preference is for AY GEE ELL who should prove suited by this return to 5f and can bag a second C&D success at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Northern Spirit. The other runners are all C&D winners too, with Master of My Fate and Star Chorus both respected now.
