11/2

Won at Wolverhampton in December. Sixth of 10 in handicap at same track (6/1) 3 days ago, making headway 2f out before plugging on. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

5/1

Won at Wolverhampton after 6-month break in late November and ran at least as well when second of 7 in handicap there (15/2) 34 days ago, finding only a fellow recent C&D winner too strong. Has won twice at this course.

Form: 580/71-2

11/1

5 months off and down at last winning mark but failed to justify market support having rejoined former yard when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (3/1 fav) 21 days ago, dwelt and weakened over 1f out. Needs to leave that behind.

Form: 83685-7

King Of York^b⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 64| CD

9/5

Four-time C&D winner who returned from a 9-month break in good heart when second of 11 in handicap at this course (20/1) 6 days ago. Should remain competitive on this quick return.

Form: 12632-2

Enpassant¹⁰

7/1

Mixed form recently but ran well without unduly threatening the winner when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9/2) 10 days ago. Chance back around his last winning mark.

Form: 6365-52

Our Misty Blue⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 62

80/1

Lightly-raced gelding whose standout effort came when fourth of 8 in novice at this C&D last October. Ninth of 10 on handicap debut at Newcastle (33/1) 71 days ago, dwelt and never on terms. Bounce back needed.

15/2

Third at Newcastle on AW return in December but wasn't seen to best effect sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 39 days ago, keeping on when no room in final ½f.

Rogue Officer^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61

80/1

Ran well on turf debut at Yarmouth last October before leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam but was well held ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (50/1) 16 days ago on stable debut. Plenty to prove.

Form: 7/4252-9

Secret Road^v²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 58| BF| C| D

9/1

Won twice from 5 starts in January and posted 3 runner-up efforts in that spell. Possibly should have won at Lingfield but found run of good form coming to a halt at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, racing too freely closer to the pace. Not easy to dismiss all the same.

Form: 112234

Habrdi^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| D

11/1

Last won over 2 years ago (winless in 15 races since) and fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) a fortnight ago, faring better than previously this winter with his mark in freefall. Needs to build on that.

Form: 77000-4

Forecasts

King Of York (9/5), How's The Guvnor (11/4), Landlordtothestars (5/1), Lessay (11/2), Enpassant (7/1), Wilde And Dandy (15/2), Secret Road (9/1), My Mate Mike (11/1), Habrdi (11/1), Liberty Bird (33/1), Our Misty Blue (80/1), Rogue Officer (80/1)

Four-time C&D winner KING OF YORK made a pleasing return here last week and could be the way to go down in class. How's The Guvnor and Secret Road both failed to land a blow in the same race at Wolverhampton on Tuesday but had been in good form and can bounce back.
