Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Wigham| OR: 55| BF

4/1

7/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and will certainly have a chance if bringing his 'A' game.

Form: 40332-5

(5)

Asadjumeirah^t,p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 54| CD

5/1

Five-time C&D winner. Three wins from 27 runs last year. 5/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Unlikely he will be far away.

Form: 52348-4

Eco Power Boy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 53

7/2

Good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Record stands at 0-11 and needs to find a bit of improvement from somewhere.

Form: 765/65-2

(7)

Yorkshire Glory^p1¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 51| BF| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Fourth of 7 in handicap back over this C&D (11/8) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and, provided that he responds well to the new headgear, should make his presence felt.

Form: 22113-4

28/1

C&D winner. Thirty three runs since last win in 2023. 33/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 48790-8

66/1

Forecasts

Yorkshire Glory (11/4), Eco Power Boy (7/2), Instant Bond (4/1), Ramon Di Loria (9/2), Asadjumeirah (5/1), The Gay Blade (12/1), Bernie The Bear (28/1), Badosa (66/1)

RAMON DI LORIA has shaped as though his turn may be near the last twice, latterly finishing a close third over C&D off a 1 lb higher mark. The 8-y-o shades preference ahead of Yorkshire Glory and Instant Bond (in that order of preference), both of whom sport new headgear. Asadjumeirah is another with realistic claims.
