Samra Star^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 62

20/1

Off the mark in a 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8/1) 16 days ago when given a more positive ride than usual off a career-low mark. Not an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 509-871

Relevant Range³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 62| BF| CD

8/1

Has done well for this yard, winning classified stakes over C&D and Newcastle in January. Disappointed back in a handicap at latter track (5/2F) latest but that was his sixth run of the month.

Asian Journey^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: S England| OR: 61

9/4

Yet to win from 11 starts but would have gone close granted a clear run when third of 8 at Newcastle (11/2) 8 days ago. Able to race off 1 lb lower here so big shout.

25/1

Won at Kempton (22/1) on final start for Hughie Morrison in November but appeared unsuited by the drop to sprinting starting out for this yard at Lingfield (33/1) 39 days ago. Back up to 1m today with hood removed.

Form: 94961-9

Minshaar³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 59

28/1

Opened account at Newcastle in November but just respectable efforts in defeat since, fifth of 9 over 7f there (9/1) in January on final start for Richard Fahey.

Roaring Ralph^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Mark Winn| T: M Dods| OR: 57| CD

11/4

Stopped the rot with a couple of seconds here before going one better over C&D (7/4F) 27 days ago to end a lengthy losing run. Should remain competitive up 3 lbs.

Form: 770-221

Heretic^p,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: M Herrington| OR: 56| CD

17/2

Back-to-back winner over C&D in October. Mixed record since, though probably went off too hard here 3 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Asian Journey (9/4), Roaring Ralph (11/4), How's The Guvnor (11/4), Shielas Well (6/1), Relevant Range (8/1), Heretic (17/2), Samra Star (20/1), Magdalayna (25/1), Minshaar (28/1)

ASIAN JOURNEY is still seeking his first success but has been eased to a mark he's capable of winning from having looked unlucky at Newcastle last week. Roaring Ralph ended a lengthy losing run with a comfortable success over C&D 4 weeks ago so is next best ahead of Relevant Range, who should bounce back after a short break.
