Alondra³^{(ex 10)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| CD

3/1

Won her last two starts at this C&D for new yard, including handicap at this C&D (5/2 fav) 3 days ago with something in hand after just 4 days off, taking her AW record to 3 wins from 6 starts. Rapidly on the up and can land hat-trick despite 10 lb penalty.

El Bufalo^p,t³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Zoe Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: T Faulkner| OR: 77| CD

9/4

Has three wins at this C&D including a couple this winter. Second of 7 behind Alondra in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 3 days ago, winning run ended after a rise in weights but emerged with credit against an improving rival. Can continue to give a good account.

Cressida Wildes^v³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 76| D

9/1

Has largely struggled since Yarmouth success in the summer. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 3 days ago, broke better than usual but got going too late and was short of room over 2f out. Slow starts have been an ongoing issue and others look more solid.

Form: 25595-5

Gogo Yubari³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71| CD

9/1

Completed an AW hat-trick in January but has struggled since having shot up the weights. Fourth of 7 behind Alondra at this C&D (20/1) 3 days ago, made headway over 1f out but effort flattened out.

Lion's House¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 71| C| D

7/4

Has been revived by dropping into lower-grade company, building on his best AW effort this season when winning handicap at Newcastle (7/2) 10 days ago, justifying support. Up 3 lbs in higher grade but remains well treated on best form.

Forecasts

Lion's House (7/4), El Bufalo (9/4), Alondra (3/1), Cressida Wildes (9/1), Gogo Yubari (9/1)

ALONDRA is rapidly on the up with consecutive wins here and can defy another quick turnaround under a penalty having scored with something in hand on Friday. Recent Newcastle winner Lion's House has won off higher marks than this and rates the chief threat.
