4/1

Won at Southwell in January and placed next 2 starts. Fifth of 9 at same course (9/1) 18 days ago, ending a long run of in-frame efforts. Likely to bounce back.

Bluebells Boy^v³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox| T: J & S Best| OR: 57| C| D

16/1

Had an excellent 2024 but winless for various yards since, proving expensive to follow. Only fourth of 8 over C&D (10/3) last month and starts out for another new yard in a change of headgear.

Form: 3235-44

(7)

Coolagh Magic¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 56| CD

7/1

Has won 5 times here but without success in his last 12 and hasn't shown enough in 2 runs back this winter to make him of serious interest. Tongue tie removed.

Form: 2384-48

Desdemona^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55| D

13/2

Best form since her 2-y-o days when runner-up over C&D last month and backed that up in 6f handicap here 15 days ago when beaten only by one who has been successful again since. Major player if not inconvenienced by stall 10.

Second Collection⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

10/3

Posted 4 consecutive in-frame efforts before winning at Wolverhampton over 5f (9/2) 8 days ago, her first success in over a year. Was well suited by how the race panned out that day but she's effectively just 3 lb higher under a penalty.

Form: 0-43341

The Defiant^p,t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 45| CD

9/1

Three-time C&D winner who was second of 5 here (4/1) in January. Did too much too soon back in handicap company here a fortnight ago.

Forecasts

Second Collection (10/3), Honour Your Dreams (7/2), Street Life (4/1), Dubai Magic (4/1), Desdemona (13/2), Coolagh Magic (7/1), The Defiant (9/1), Tomarlo (14/1), Bluebells Boy (16/1), Manhattan Chute (40/1)

SECOND COLLECTION snapped a losing run stretching back over a year at Wolverhampton 8 days ago and could well find this developing to her advantage once again. She therefore gets the tentative nod in favour of Street Life and Desdemona.
