Big Bard^p⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Ella Smart-Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60| CD

17/2

Dual winner in 2025, including at C&D, but last 3 efforts have been uninspiring and others are preferred.

Form: 414067-

(7)

Portoro^h,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Leah Banham⁽⁷⁾| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 59| BF| C

3/1

Arrives in good form, making the frame for the third consecutive start at Southwell (7.1f) 24 days ago. Unable to sustain his effort there, so drop back to 6f looks a good move and he's on the shortlist.

Form: 82342-4

(8)

Up The Anti¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| CD

14/1

Inconsistent performer who last won over 6f at Kempton in December. 8/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 11 days ago, merely closing up late. Place claims if on a going day.

Form: 101-746

(5)

Southbank¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: C Gordon| OR: 56| CD

11/8

Knuckled down well to win here in October and has remained in good form since, running creditably from a poor position when second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 5/1) 11 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 5614-42

(1)

Griselda^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 55| D

10/1

Went the wrong way in 2025 and no sign of stopping the slide in 2 runs this year.

Form: 5099-98

(6)

Man On A Mission^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr R Birkett| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 55| CD

8/1

Has scored at C&D but been well held both starts since returning from a 9-month break and others are preferred.

Form: 25399-0

(3)

Rumba Bay⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Amy Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 53| D

10/1

Three wins from 13 runs last year but failed to really make an impact both starts since returning from a 3-month break, including when sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 4 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 5668-46

(10)

Dark Sorceress⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Jake Holman⁽⁷⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 50| D

40/1

Placed at C&D in October but below form without obvious excuse when eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 86 days ago. Not an obvious winner returning from break.

Form: 746308-

(4)

The Cola Brasil^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Jodie Wingrove⁽⁷⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 49| D

40/1

Unreliable individual. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Fifth of 6 in handicap (80/1) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Hard to fancy.

Form: 24950-5

Pinjarra¹¹

Weight: 10-12| Age: 5

T: J & S Quinn J: Mr E Cagney

Forecasts

Southbank (11/8), Portoro (3/1), Pinjarra (7/2), Man On A Mission (8/1), Big Bard (17/2), Rumba Bay (10/1), Griselda (10/1), Up The Anti (14/1), Dark Sorceress (40/1), The Cola Brasil (40/1)

This doesn't look overly competitive and it could provide a good opportunity for PORTORO to gain reward for several good efforts in defeat, with the drop to a sprint trip appealing as a positive. Southbank also arrives in good form and did well to make the placings after meeting early trouble last time, so is next on the shortlist, with Pinjarra also considered.
