Magic Runner¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 13/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 146-613

Poetic Force¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 9-5| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| CD

22/1

5-time course winner. Not seen to ideal effect when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 15/2) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs considering eased 2 lb now.

Form: 2235-45

(9)

Powerful Response^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane| T: G A Harker| OR: 61

6/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 35 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: 552224-

Law Supreme^p,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 61| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Good fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 10 days ago so he's in the mix again.

Form: 7841-74

Tiger Beetle^t⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 60| CD

22/1

A 3-time C&D winner but he arrives under a cloud, only sixth of 10 in handicap (66/1) at this course (12.2f) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Others are preferred.

Form: 7/00046-

(7)

The Dark Baron¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: Kathy Turner| OR: 59| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 10/3, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 17 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 41332-3

Launceston¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 51

125/1

A modest maiden for Sir Mark Prescott and has offered little in a trio of runs over hurdles for his new yard, ninth in novice hurdle at Wincanton 18 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 609-249

Corundum²⁷

Weight: 9-6| Age: 5

T: L Wadham J: Rob Hornby

Forecasts

Stipulation (9/4), The Dark Baron (3/1), Corundum (5/1), Law Supreme (11/2), Magic Runner (11/2), Powerful Response (6/1), Spec Of Light (14/1), Poetic Force (22/1), Tiger Beetle (22/1), Launceston (125/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but CORUNDUM rates the pick of the weights on the back of a very good second here so is taken to get off the mark at the chief expense of in-form C&D winner Stipulation. Multiple course scorer Poetic Force can also have a say.
