4YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 5f 164y | 8 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 100

Maiden has produced some creditable efforts since returning from a lengthy absence this season but ran poorly when last seen at Lingfield in December. Has been given a break and place claims if bouncing back to form.

Form: 2/26357

All Authorized^b,t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100| C

5/1

As good as ever when winning 3m handicap hurdle at Plumpton in April but has run poorly in a trio of starts over fences this season. Remains to be seen if he any fares better back over hurdles.

Form: 631-95F

Local Derby²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 93

7/4

Expensive point winner justified a more prominent market position when off the mark at Wincanton (19.8f) last month, still green and well on top at finish. Should improve again and has strong claims to land the double.

Form: 1-65891

Betgoodwin²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 86

14/1

Little impact in trio of hurdle starts (previous 2 warm races). Goes handicapping but Local Derby surely stable's leading hope.

Form: P70

Tommy Dillion¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 82

9/1

Veteran defied a 266-day absence to land a second career success over 2m at Lingfield 17 days ago, providing his trainer with a first winner in nearly 2½ years. More needed to follow up.

Form: P5P9-21

Atlantic Power¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Kimber| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 79| CD

9/4

C&D winner in October and back to form when runner-up here on Boxing Day. Doubled his career tally when easy winner over 23f at Lingfield earlier this month and can give another good account at this track.

Form: 8-13721

Goguenard^b1³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 77| D

13/2

Won 3 times in 2024 but rarely hit those heights since, for all he wasn't disgraced when fourth at Wetherby last month. Drops below latest winning mark and now tried in change of headgear.

Form: 442-964

Forecasts

Local Derby (2/1), Atlantic Power (11/4), All Authorized (5/1), Tommy Dillion (6/1), Night Stalker (10/1), Betgoodwin (12/1), Goguenard (14/1), Tobi Kanobee (50/1)

A 6-figure purchase as a pointer, LOCAL DERBY was making just his second start in handicaps when winning decisively at Wincanton last month. He can follow up, with in-form Atlantic Power the likely one for the forecast given his solid record at this track.
