Kameel²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 60| C

14/1

Course winner. Shaped as if in need of the run after 4 months off when a fading seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 26 days ago. Not ruled out with that run under his belt from a falling mark.

Form: 75948-7

(5)

Wave Rock²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 60

4/1

Lightly-raced sort who took a big step forward when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/2) 22 days ago. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 8764-1

(3)

Brunello Breeze^p⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 59| CD

18/1

C&D winner. 28/1, fair fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 46 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Unreliable individual overall though.

Form: 3660-75

(6)

Teggy Lasso⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 59

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Back from 7 weeks off with a solid fourth of 9 on his handicap debut at Southwell (8.1f, 33/1) 7 days ago. Needs considering now stepping up in trip.

Form: 0/7-74

(4)

Star Cast²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: G Tutty| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Capitalised on drop in the weights when getting off the mark over C&D in January. Left poorly placed when seventh in similar event there 25 days ago so she merits serious consideration eased 1 lb.

Form: 490-137

(8)

Lieutenant Lily^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 57

25/1

Placed on his first 2 starts last year but form went the wrong way in handicaps for Tom Ward. Fared no better for his new yard after 4 months off over C&D 25 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 37690-9

(7)

Staffordshire²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers| T: J Candlish| OR: 57| CD

4/1

Has proved unreliable but much improved with usual hood left off when getting off the mark in 12-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago. Well in the mix if backing it up with headgear again dispensed with.

Form: 7840-71

(1)

Maple⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: O McSweeney| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 56

5/1

A fair winning 2m hurdler nowadays but he ran well back on the Flat when second of 11 in handicap over C&D 46 days ago. Can make his presence felt again nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 60058/2

(9)

The Pug^b³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45| D

40/1

Unreliable type who beat only one in classified event here (1m4f) 30 days ago. Others appeal much more.

Form: 657-747

Forecasts

Teggy Lasso (5/2), Wave Rock (4/1), Staffordshire (4/1), Maple (5/1), Star Cast (7/1), Kameel (14/1), Brunello Breeze (18/1), Lieutenant Lily (25/1), The Pug (40/1)

STAR CAST didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh here last time so this C&D winner is taken to bounce back in style at the chief expense of recent Wolverhampton scorer Wave Rock. Both Teggy Lasso and Kameel enter calculations too if, as expected, building on recent efforts. Maple completes the shortlist.
