Showmedemoney^b,t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 54| CD

9/5

Capitalised on career-low mark when scoring over this C&D in December. Has run well both starts since, second of 12 back here (10.2f, 5/1) 4 days ago and will surely be a major player again.

Form: 97/91-42

Ratafia^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: O McSweeney| T: M Herrington| OR: 53| C| D

12/1

Successful at Yarmouth last summer but has struggled for form since, never involved when eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (22/1) on latest start a month ago.

Form: 50597-8

(6)

Griselda^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 52

50/1

Has lost her way since 2-y-o days, eighth of 9 in 6f handicap (10/1) at Kempton on latest outing 3 weeks ago. Tried over a longer trip here probably more in hope than anticipation.

Form: 099-988

(5)

I Can Boogy⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 52| CD

10/3

Made a winning return in C&D minor event at the beginning of the month and shaped as if still in good form under a penalty when runner-up here (10/3) 4 days ago. Can remain competitive back in handicap company.

Form: 0454-12

Rosemary's Rose⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: B R Millman| OR: 47| D

10/1

Opened account in minor event at Lingfield (4/1) 9 days ago on just second start for current yard, setting better under a patient ride and overcoming pace bias. Carries a penalty back in a handicap but must enter calculations.

Form: 5509-01

Alpine Sierra^h¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: J S Goldie| OR: 51| C| D

9/1

Failed to win in 2025 but made the frame twice over 1¼m here to start the current year. Only seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 19 days ago but has eased further in the weights as a result and has a hood back on.

Form: 355-347

(3)

Esque Elegance⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hanlon| OR: 47| BF

11/2

Long-standing maiden but has at least made the frame on last 3 starts, pulling clear of the rest when second of 6 in minor event at this C&D (11/8) 9 days ago. This does look a better race, however.

Form: 688-432

(8)

Trusty Scout²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

33/1

Without a win since November 2023 and no better than mid-division in 4 starts this year.

Form: 73-0755

(9)

Dequinto⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| CD

13/2

Ridden by Myla Coppins first time when finally off the mark in minor event at this C&D (11/2) 9 days ago. Was suited by how things developed that day and faces a tougher task back in a handicap.

Form: 5/0-7491

Forecasts

Showmedemoney (9/5), I Can Boogy (10/3), Esque Elegance (11/2), Dequinto (13/2), Alpine Sierra (9/1), Rosemary's Rose (10/1), Ratafia (12/1), Trusty Scout (33/1), Griselda (50/1)

SHOWMEDEMONEY turned in his best effort since 2023 when runner-up over 10f here 4 days ago and is fancied to go one better back down in trip. Rosemary's Rose did well under the circumstances when getting off the mark at Lingfield last time and is respected, whilst I Can Boogy should again run her race at a course where she's building a solid record.
