(6)

Mbappe^p1⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ethan Tindall⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58| CD

3/1

11/10, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Shade more needed if he's to follow up under a penalty but that's certainly a possibility with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 3378-31

(5)

Masqool³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Zoe Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) 39 days ago. First run for yard after leaving James Evans and will have a serious chance off this reduced mark if on-song. Yard also saddles Galaxy Wonder.

Form: 343558-

Berning Hot⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: James Glennon⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 59

20/1

Winner at Brighton in August. Good 1¾ lengths third of 9 to Mbappe in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, clear of rest. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 6134-73

(4)

Galaxy Wonder²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| BF

2/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 2/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 24 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 60031-4

(8)

Age Of Time^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Kavanagh| T: Ian Williams| OR: 59

5/1

Fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 11/2) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on and likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 2178-84

(10)

Johnjay^h1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ashley Lewis| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 57| D

16/1

First run since leaving Roger Teal when eighth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 25 days ago. Hood on 1st time and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 15366-8

(1)

Brinton^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Olivia Tubb⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 56| D

9/2

Three wins from 13 runs last year. Good second of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 24 days ago. Shouldn't be far away.

Form: 6155-32

(7)

Port Noir^t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: Rose Dawes| T: R Stephens| OR: 45

40/1

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2024. 15/2, seventh of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 5 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 00978-7

(2)

Marchetti^p⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 45| C

28/1

Course winner. Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 6½ lengths seventh of 9 to Mbappe in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Clearly has work to do.

Form: 8379-47

Forecasts

Galaxy Wonder (2/1), Mbappe (3/1), Brinton (9/2), Age Of Time (5/1), Masqool (10/1), Our Dagger (10/1), Johnjay (16/1), Berning Hot (20/1), Marchetti (28/1), Port Noir (40/1)

In the hope that the change of scenery (debut for new yard) has perked him up, MASQOOL gets the nod. He won off this mark at Chelmsford last summer and shades preference ahead of last week's C&D winner Mbappe and stablemate Galaxy Wonder. Each-way cases can be made for some of the others, most notably Berning Hot, who put in a good shift when third to Mbappe here recently, and Brinton.
