9/1

Won at Perth last spring and back to form to land a third course success over 20.5f in November. Subsequent efforts suggest he's summed up by his mark.

Kasanova's Dream^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| OR: 107

11/4

Placed first 2 starts in maiden company and fitted with blinkers, he was back at that level when sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Gowran 3 weeks ago. This looks an easier race and has to command serious respect given yard he represents.

Form: 3-346

Biglesisback⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 107| BF

15/2

Solid form when third over 2½m at Perth and improved dropped back in trip when clear runner-up in a 2m Hexham novice. Well-related mare and while she couldn't justify support on handicap debut, she showed plenty when second at Musselburgh on New Year's Day.

Form: 9-3222

Be The Difference¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 106| CD

12/1

Completed a hat-trick in decisive fashion at Sedgefield in December but winning run ended off revised mark when sixth of 7 at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Down in grade and merely plugged on for third at Doncaster 3 weeks ago.

Shoeshine Boy^t¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans| OR: 104| CD

4/1

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when gamely bagging a third C&D victory last month and his willing attitude again in evidence when going in again here 12 days ago. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold hat-trick bid.

Adveram^v1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: I A Duncan| OR: 98| C

12/1

Ended a long losing run reverted to hurdles in 9-runner handicap at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) in December, holding on gamely. That race didn't work out and he ran a moody race behind Shoeshine Boy over C&D latest. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 85-371P

Wise Move^h¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 96| D

11/1

Multiple winning pointer but just a modest maiden hurdler. Did step up on return to action when second of 10 at Wetherby on Boxing Day but didn't get his own way when brushed aside at Catterick. Back up in trip.

Form: 94-4525

Coylton King²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 89

11/1

Fourth in course bumper this time last year and has looked a work-in-progress over hurdles so far. Up in trip for handicap debut and this will reveal more.

Form: 64-88F6

Better Be Definite²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 87| CD

5/1

Off the mark over C&D in March 2024 and doubled his tally in a Hexham handicap last spring. By no means disgraced when fourth of 9 back from a break at Kelso (21f, good to soft) in November and occupied same spot behind Shoeshine Boy over C&D 4 weeks ago.

Form: 1/210-44

Forecasts

Kasanova's Dream (11/4), Shoeshine Boy (4/1), Better Be Definite (5/1), Biglesisback (15/2), Follow Charlie (9/1), Wise Move (11/1), Coylton King (11/1), Be The Difference (12/1), Adveram (12/1)

KASANOVA'S DREAM shaped well in a deeper handicap than this at Gowran 3 weeks ago and representing a feared trainer/jockey combination, he could be the answer. Shoeshine Boy chases a C&D hat-trick and is an obvious threat, with Biglesisback also of interest.
