Poke The Bear^t⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tyler Heard| T: Hayley Burton| OR: 55| D

3/1

Won last 2 handicaps at Lingfield Park where form is far superior to elsewhere, successful as 5/4 favourite in 9-runner event there 8 days ago with smooth late run to lead inside final 100 yds. Makes first start at Wolverhampton and looks capable of defying a penalty to land the hat-trick.

Form: 413-611

Court Of Session^v²^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 54| CD

5/1

Runner-up at Southwell before ending a lengthy losing run at this C&D (13/8 favourite) 10 days ago, running for second time in 24 hours and winning in good style. Sluggish start but not beaten far under a penalty at Kempton on Wednesday.

Form: 4-25416

Royal Jet^h⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| D

4/1

Won 3 of last 4 starts, most recently successful in classified race at Lingfield (15/8) 8 days ago in fashion suggesting he'll be very competitive now back in handicap under a penalty. One to consider.

Form: 281-311

Whiteley Way¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: G Brown| OR: 54

22/1

Free-going maiden has run respectably including when runner-up at Bath last October but best forgiven sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10/1) 16 days ago, badly hampered over 2f out after 7 weeks off and weakened final 1f. Should give her running but hard to be confident she can break her duck.

Form: 6/3224-6

No Nay Nevermind^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 54

20/1

Yet to get off the mark but back to form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (13/2) 13 days ago, led and took strong hold but headed in final furlong and no extra, arguably did too much too soon. Hard to predict but isn't one to write off.

Form: 5522-75

Bad Habits¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| CD

6/1

Shed maiden tag at this C&D in late December and ran to a similar level when third of 7 here in handicap (3/1) 10 days ago, chasing leaders but not settling fully. Continues in good heart and effective at this trip.

Form: 351-443

Diligent Henry^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 52| CD

10/1

Both wins came at this C&D, most recently last October, but ran poorly when tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (10/1) 26 days ago in a change of headgear. Cheekpieces back on, blinkers removed and remains to be seen if that does the trick.

Form: 1360-40

(7)

Rain Cap^v⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: J Riches| OR: 52| D

25/1

Showed creditable form in autumn with runner-up finish on turf and backed that up when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 67 days ago, coming late from off a strong pace to be nearest at the finish. Needs to find a bit more to return to winning ways.

Form: 228524-

Fistral Beach¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Doughty| T: J Mackie| OR: 51| CD

11/2

Won three times last spring and appears to be building towards something having dropped below her last winning mark. Second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 10 days ago, led approaching home turn but headed final 50 yards after racing wide. C&D winner could be ready to strike.

Form: 7605-42

Just King High^t,p1⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: T Faulkner| OR: 50

22/1

Out of sorts since sole success in November 2024 and was ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11/1) 58 days ago, steadied at start and always behind. First-time cheekpieces replace hood and that needs to spark a resurgence.

Form: 689609-

Shoptilyoudrop^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Aiden Brookes| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

20/1

Has offered little since returning to current yard and remains winless after 20 starts. Seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (40/1) 17 days ago, lit up in first-time cheekpieces and folded after being headed over 1f out. Hard to fancy from out of handicap with headgear retained.

Form: 970-687

Forecasts

Royal Jet (3/1), Court Of Session (7/2), Poke The Bear (4/1), Fistral Beach (5/1), Rain Cap (8/1), Bad Habits (14/1), Whiteley Way (14/1), No Nay Nevermind (16/1), Shoptilyoudrop (33/1), Diligent Henry (33/1), Just King High (50/1)

POKE THE BEAR arrives better than ever following back-to-back wins at Lingfield and can defy a penalty to land the hat-trick. Fistral Beach has dropped below her last winning mark and appears to be building towards something, narrowly denied at this C&D 10 days ago when racing wide compromised her challenge, while Royal Jet arrives in excellent heart and should be in the mix back in a handicap.
