Magna¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| BF| CD

4/1

Scored over C&D and at Southwell either side of Christmas and went down by only a neck to Dr Ali in handicap over C&D 16 days ago having gone freely. Expected to be bang there again off the same mark.

Form: 5251-12

Man On A Mission^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 55| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Well below par both runs this year, though he was caught wide when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 5399-06

Initial Blue^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 55| D

11/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Not seen to ideal effect when fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers go on now and in the mix off an easing mark.

Form: 4440-35

Respectable Jack^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: M Crawley| OR: 55

5/2

Off 7 weeks before a good neck third of 8 to Dr Ali in handicap over C&D 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. A likely player with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Form: 0/6205-3

Alashos^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: C Gordon| OR: 55| D

8/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2024 and a below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 18 days ago. Needs to get back on track in a change of headgear.

Form: 38554-5

Porfin^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52| D

7/1

Back to winning ways at Lingfield in January and posted a solid third of 6 in handicap there (6f, AW) 6 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 9-53123

(8)

Cuban Fiesta^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 51

12/1

On a losing run but he recorded a good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 11 days ago, well positioned. Needs considering.

Form: 0266-02

Liricist⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 45

50/1

Won a 7f nursery at 66/1 in 2024 but lightly raced and well below par since, only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 44 days ago. Not easy to warm to.

Form: 416/880-

Purpendicular^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Murphy| OR: 45

33/1

Caught wide when eighth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. More is still needed if she's to get off the mark here though from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 63578-8

Forecasts

Respectable Jack (5/2), Initial Blue (11/4), Magna (4/1), Dr Ali (6/1), Porfin (7/1), Alashos (8/1), Cuban Fiesta (12/1), Man On A Mission (14/1), Friday Again (25/1), Purpendicular (33/1), Liricist (50/1)

Tony Carroll continues in good form and his thriving filly MAGNA is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having just been denied over C&D last time despite taking a strong hold. Respectable Jack came in just behind her that day and rates the main threat, although Porfin and Initial Blue are both well in the mix too.
