Wonder^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 79| D

5/4

Returned from a short break as good as ever, first-time cheekpieces seemingly doing something for him when cosily adding to his tally in 11-runner handicap at Southwell (12f) 8 days ago. 4 lb rise looks fair and another bold bid expected.

Form: 9664-21

Charlie's Choice⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 77| CD

5/2

Consistent on all-weather this winter and he showed an impressive change of gear when resuming winning ways over 13f here 7 days ago, nailing a prominently-ridden one. Of firm interest again following a 2 lb rise.

Form: 2-13451

Damascus Steel^v²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: William Carson| T: D P Quinn| OR: 73| CD

11/2

Emphatic when ending a losing run at Newcastle in December and gusty when following up over C&D last month. Solid second in pursuit of hat-trick at Wolverhampton (12.2f) latest and respected in this groove.

Form: 4201-12

Kingkeer²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 70

22/1

Successful from 1 lb lower mark on turf for Hughie Morrison last spring. Inconsistent thereafter and not figured tackling inadequate trips upon joining new yard this winter. Return to further rates a plus but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 0207-57

Pleasant Man^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 70| D

10/1

Shaped as if back in top form without being seen to best effect when third at Chelmsford (13.3f) 3 starts back but not built on that subsequently, lesser effort when sixth at Southwell (12f) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 954-346

(8)

Party Island^p1²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 67| CD

9/1

4-time C&D winner who dispelled a lesser effort whilst promising more than he delivered when fourth in an 11f handicap at Kempton at the start of the month. Now sports first-time cheekpieces which could help and he lines up on last winning mark.

Form: 80228-4

(5)

Tatmeen^h,p1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 51| D

40/1

Sole win came at Kempton in May and struggled since, again looking none too keen over 10f here latest. Cheekpieces added to hood.

Form: 4550-96

Forecasts

Wonder (5/4), Charlie's Choice (5/2), One Cool Dreamer (5/1), Damascus Steel (11/2), Party Island (9/1), Pleasant Man (10/1), Kingkeer (22/1), Tatmeen (40/1)

WONDER seemingly found the application of cheekpieces doing something for him when running out a cosy winner at Southwell 8 days ago. A 4 lb rise looks fair and he's a big player under Billy Loughnane. Fellow last-time-out scorer Charlie's Choice is next best, ahead of 4-time C&D winner Party Island and in-form Damascus Steel.
