Blazing Son³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 74| CD

9/1

Gained a third course success in September and excuses back on all-weather the last twice, slowly away when seventh of 12 at Southwell 5 weeks ago. Back down to last winning mark so no surprise to see him fare better.

Form: 31305-7

Flowstate^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| CD

6/4

Recorded back-to-back wins over C&D last month, scoring comfortably on the second occasion. Again ran well when fourth of 7 at Southwell 6 days ago, short of room over 1f out, and he makes plenty of appeal at this venue.

Form: 3-55114

Beauty Choice⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 71| D

8/1

Having dropped below last winning mark, returned to form when fourth of 9 at Wolverhampton in January, despite meeting trouble in running. Merits consideration having eased another 1 lb in the weights.

Form: 44270-4

Tasever^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 70| CD

7/2

As good as ever when recording a sixth course success last month (all of his career victories at this track). However, found it tougher under a penalty when 3½ lengths sixth of 8 to Flowstate over C&D 19 days ago.

Form: 626216

Chuzzlewit²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 67| C| D

5/1

Ran when on third outing for current trainer when third of 14 this course (1m) last summer. Possibly needed the run when fourth of 9 here on return from 7 months off and has dropped a long way in the weights, though he hasn't won for a while.

Form: 35030-4

Spartan Fighter^v²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 63| CD

25/1

Has rolled back the years since turning 9, winning 4 times here (all at 6f) this year. Possibly found the race coming too soon after 4 days off last time, though he now goes back up in grade.

Form: 111219

Andalprofit²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 61| C

17/2

Doubled his tally at Redcar in November but has added to his patchy profile since, racing too freely next time before responding well to positive tactics when length fourth of 10 at this course (6f) 20 days ago. Yet to fully prove himself over 7f.

Forecasts

Flowstate (6/4), Tasever (7/2), Chuzzlewit (5/1), Beauty Choice (8/1), Andalprofit (17/2), Blazing Son (9/1), Dorney Lake (12/1), Spartan Fighter (25/1)

FLOWSTATE took his record over C&D to 3 from 4 in February and produced a good effort in defeat when fourth at Southwell last week, so he can resume winning ways back at this venue. A pair who are down to handy marks could be the main dangers, with Beauty Choice getting the vote for second ahead of Blazing Son.
