Mr Nugget⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: D M Simcock| OR: 64| BF| CD

11/4

In good form recently with a win and two places in last four AW starts. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (4/1) 6 days ago, found run of good form coming to a halt, not picking up as well as when winning previously. Return to C&D where narrowly beaten in December could spark a revival.

Form: 3521-35

Apache Green^b⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Woods| OR: 64

7/2

Has shown improvement with blinkers in recent runs, finishing second at Wolverhampton 17 days ago. Finished second at Kempton Park (15/2) 4 days ago but was disqualified for hanging right and causing interference. Appears to be in good form and should give another good account.

Form: 8095-2D

Dingwall^h⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: I Jardine| OR: 61| CD

6/1

In good form with a win and placed efforts before finishing sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 7 days ago, hampered at start when Magic Runner's blindfold caused issues. Previous C&D winner.

7/1

Ended a long losing run when dead heating to win a C&D handicap (13/2) 28 days ago. Finished seventh of 10 when unable to defy a penalty back here (11/4) 21 days ago, racing with no cover outwide.

Purple Sky^t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 60

125/1

Form has been consistently poor, finishing last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (33/1) 4 days ago on first start for new stable. Hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 10890-8

Magic Runner⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 59| CD

13/2

C&D specialist with both career wins at this track. First of 9 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 7 days ago, settling better under a change of rider and keeping on well. Runs off unchanged mark and looks capable of following up.

Form: 3146-61

El Ghaawy³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

11/2

Finished well-beaten twelfth of 13 when kept handier in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 36 days ago. Dropped 5lbs and returns to course where he showed best form on debut.

Forecasts

Mr Nugget (11/4), Apache Green (7/2), El Ghaawy (11/2), Dingwall (6/1), Magic Runner (13/2), Law Supreme (7/1), Three Yorkshiremen (12/1), Redhot Whisper (50/1), Purple Sky (125/1)

MAGIC RUNNER impressed when winning over course and distance 7 days ago and, running off an unchanged mark, she looks capable of following up. Apache Green has responded well to blinkers recently and was unfortunate to be disqualified after dead-heating at Kempton. Mr Nugget could appreciate returning to this C&D where narrowly beaten in December.
