Fillyfudge^p⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 55| CD

14/1

Hasn't built on the promise of his C&D third in October, a change of headgear and tactics over 1m here last month bearing no fruit.

Form: 45305-6

Silkies Sib^v⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 55

13/8

Won at Wolverhampton in December and has followed up with 4 placed efforts, including back-to-back seconds earlier this month. Hard to knock his consistency so should be bang there once again.

Form: 51-3322

Night Bear^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| D

4/1

Confirmed return to form when third of 11 at Southwell (5/1) 3 weeks ago. Blinkers back on here dropped to 1¼m, a combination which has worked well for him.

Form: 606-423

Graffiti⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 54

9/2

On a career low mark having gone 12 without a win and shaped well despite pulling hard in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (20/1) last month. Equipment left off this time.

Form: 54450-4

Kaaress^v²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 52| D

10/1

Ended a lengthy losing run in classified company at Lingfield (16/1) last month, responding well to a first-time visor. Back in a handicap but should remain competitive.

Form: 597-741

Pure Theory^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 50

12/1

Winless in 14 starts and yet to place in 4 outings for the yard.

Prince Hector^b1¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 48

9/1

Runner-up on 2 of last 3 starts, most recently in 7-runner classified stakes (4/1) over C&D 18 days ago. First-time blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces for this return to a handicap.

Form: 255-292

Pablo Prince¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: K Jewell| OR: 48

11/1

Ran his best race in over a year when second of 13 here in November and possibly needed the run when only sixth of 11 at Lingfield over 1½m a fortnight ago.

Forecasts

Silkies Sib (13/8), Night Bear (4/1), Jack Andrea (4/1), Graffiti (9/2), Prince Hector (9/1), Kaaress (10/1), Pablo Prince (11/1), Pure Theory (12/1), Fillyfudge (14/1)

SILKIES SIB has held his form well since scoring at Wolverhampton in December and seems sure to go well again from an unchanged mark. Kaaress got back on track at Lingfield last month and may provide most resistance, with Night Bear also worth a second look down in trip in a switch of headgear.
