Law Of Design²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

22/1

A fair 7f winner for Brian Meehan. Yet to hit for for his new yard but hampered over 1f out when last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 20 days ago. No forlorn hope on his polytrack debut off a slipping mark.

Form: 84390-8

How Impressive^v,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 75| CD

13/2

Unreliable sort who scored at Kempton in October but was pulled up in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago having bitten his tongue. This C&D winner needs to get back on track.

Form: 186-27P

Lequinto¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| D

14/1

A four-time winner last year who got right back on track when second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 19 days ago, just failing. Effective over this longer trip so he must enter calculations. Engaged 414 Southwell Wednesday.

Form: 3610-52

Captain Parma^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 73| D

5/1

In fine form since being gelded, winning at Soutwell in October and runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (7f) 29 days ago. Can go well again off an unchanged mark with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 72124-2

Signcastle City⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: R Hannon| OR: 72| BF| D

2/1

It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2024 but he's plummeted in the weights and bounced back to form under more positive tactics when second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 5 days ago, collared only late on. Big player off an unchanged mark.

Form: 754-672

(4)

Billy Mill²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 71| D

8/1

Capitalised on a falling mark in 7f Kempton handicap in January but he came in last of 8 in 1m handicap there 22 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

Form: 9997-18

(6)

Panelli^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 71

11/4

Opened his account at Lingfield in September on his final run for George Boughey and arrives in good nick for his current handler, second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.

Form: 7168-42

(10)

Kit Gabriel^t1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Heard| T: S Pearce| OR: 71| D

22/1

Successful at Kempton on his stable debut in October and got back on track when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 12 days ago. In the mix with a tongue strap added.

Form: 7317-04

Riot^t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Wallis| OR: 67| CD

50/1

A three-time C&D winner but he is out of sorts at present, only eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago. Has plenty to prove.

Form: 4000-78

Forecasts

Signcastle City (2/1), Panelli (11/4), Captain Parma (5/1), Chola Empire (6/1), How Impressive (13/2), Billy Mill (8/1), Lequinto (14/1), Law Of Design (22/1), Kit Gabriel (22/1), Riot (50/1)

SIGNCASTLE CITY is on a long losing sequence but has tumbled down the handicap and looks well treated here racing off the same mark as when a resurgent Lingfield runner-up last week. Both Captain Parma (second choice) and Lequinto arrive in very good nick though so should ensure Richard Hannon's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Panelli, Chola Empire and Kit Gabriel all need factoring into this highly competitive contest too.
