Charlie Darling⁴⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁵⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 60| BF

40/1

Capitalised on a falling mark to double his career win tally at Tramore in August 2024. Largely held his form later that year and the betting can guide expectations returning for a new yard.

Sneaky Blinder^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rose Dawes| T: R Stephens| OR: 56| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner in the autumn and ran a cracker when runner-up over C&D 4 weeks ago. Presumably found race coming too soon 6 days on at Chelmsford and fancied to go close.

Form: 1319-27

Billy Bathgate¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh Murphy⁽³⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 55| CD

7/4

C&D winner in December but again found a small-field scenario not playing to his strengths when third of 5 at Newcastle (9/2) just over 2 weeks ago. Considered having dropped back to his last winning mark.

Form: 342443

Queensland Boy^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Kavanagh| T: Ian Williams| OR: 53| CD

9/2

Won twice in spring last year (including over C&D) and possibly needed the run after 9 weeks off when fifth of 8 here (14f) just under a fortnight ago. Better showing anticipated.

Form: 04575-5

Arenas Del Tiempo³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Dace| T: J & S Best| OR: 52

11/1

Ended a lengthy losing run at Chelmsford last summer and did enough to think this trip suits when third of 8 there in January.

Form: 416-673

(7)

Belle Of Kt¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Ashley Lewis| T: J S Moore| OR: 49

11/4

Has taken his form up a notch in recent weeks, second of 8 here (14f) just under 2 weeks ago, seeing out the longer trip. Upped to 2m and that could well elicit further progress.

Form: 530-832

Lion City¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁵⁾| T: C Ellam| OR: 45| D

33/1

Bumper winner at Sedgefield in September 2024 but has shown precious little since, including 4 outings on AW this winter.

Form: 5-006

Forecasts

Billy Bathgate (7/4), Belle Of Kt (11/4), Sneaky Blinder (9/2), Queensland Boy (9/2), V Power (8/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (11/1), Lion City (33/1), Charlie Darling (40/1)

BELLE OF KT has taken her form up a notch in recent weeks and with this further step up trip seeming sure to suit, Stan Moore's 5-y-o gets the nod to open her account at the expense of Sneaky Blinder, who won twice over C&D in the autumn and can have his latest effort ignored.
