Benacre²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers| T: C Johnston| OR: 79| D

4/1

Largely reliable on all-weather, narrowly winning 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 10/1) 21 days ago. That looks solid form for the grade and he should give another good account from a favourable draw.

Form: 402-721

(5)

Ultramarine⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 79| CD

17/2

C&D winner was arguably unlucky not to make a winning return over 6f at Kempton last month. Looked in top form that day and should go close with clearer passage here.

Form: 11685-5

(7)

Trouble Man^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate| T: Oli Rix| OR: 77| C

22/1

Dual all-weather winner got back on track on second start for current yard when fifth over C&D in December. Best forgiven latest effort and he's still relatively unexposed. Connections now opt for first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 17575-0

Maximising²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 77| BF| D

11/4

Much improved when winning over 7f at Lingfield but was outpaced when fourth behind Benacre at Newcastle last time. Well-bred sort remains with potential, however, especially in a truly-run race.

Form: 8835-14

(9)

Stenmark^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: D P Quinn| OR: 77| D

13/2

Fairly consistent since winning on stable debut at Southwell in the summer and having likely needed the run after 9 weeks off at Newcastle last time, he should be more competitive in first-time blinkers here.

Form: 12563-5

Giorgio M^t,p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 76| CD

12/1

Made all over 7f at Lingfield in December and straight back to form when third there over 6f earlier this month. Well-drawn for Hollie Doyle to attack but may not get it all his own way.

Form: 2331-63

(8)

Revolutionise⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 76| CD

11/1

Veteran capitalised on reduced mark in favourable conditions when landing fourth 7f success at Chelmsford and though he was caught wide when ninth of 11 there 47 days ago, others in here look better handicapped.

Form: 6552-19

(4)

Beattie Is Back²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner who took a small step forward from his reappearance when 1¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Abduction in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 3/1) 27 days ago, but is yet to win off a mark this high.

Form: 4617-64

(6)

Abduction²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75| CD

14/1

Returned to form to win over 7f at Newcastle last month (best forgiven latest after blowing the start) but this previous C&D winner has never been the most prolific.

Form: 860-610

(3)

Grabajabba^v1³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 73| CD

9/1

Has a better record at 7f (including course win) but wasn't in same form back over 1m last time. Could be worth another chance, having previously responded well to headgear (wears first-time visor).

Form: 63-5746

(11)

Chifa³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox| T: E De Giles| OR: 72| CD

40/1

Left poorly placed when bidding for a C&D hat-trick last time and now finds himself drawn wide in a slightly better race.

Form: 4221-19

(12)

Harbour Vision^b⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 8-11| J: Faye McManoman| T: S Dixon| OR: 67| CD

40/1

Saves his best for C&D (well held Southwell latest) but this looks a tall order up in class from the widest stall.

Form: 10-0110

Forecasts

Maximising (11/4), Benacre (4/1), Beattie Is Back (11/2), Stenmark (13/2), Ultramarine (17/2), Grabajabba (9/1), Revolutionise (11/1), Giorgio M (12/1), Abduction (14/1), Trouble Man (22/1), Chifa (40/1), Harbour Vision (40/1)

In a tight handicap, well-bred MAXIMISING looks worth another chance to confirm the promise of his Lingfield win. Ultramarine caught the eye on reappearance last month, while more severe headgear looks a positive for Grabajabba.
