Harb⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 65| C| D

5/1

Went without headgear when adding to his tally over C&D last month and would have again gone close with a clear passage when fourth back here 7 days ago. Respected as an in-form sort.

Form: 04-3514

Raft Up^h²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: H Bethell| OR: 63| CD

10/3

Has won 3 times over this C&D and with usual hood reapplied he quickly returned form (having settled better) when close-up third behind reopposing Yorkshire Glory over C&D 26 days ago. Meets that rival on much more favourable terms this time and he's certainly worth a second look.

Form: 82256-3

Brian The Snail^p³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 62| CD

16/1

Veteran C&D winner who has merely been ticking over in recent months, unable to make an impact in race that didn't show the closers to good effect when seventh in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Still, others make greater appeal.

Form: 2055-97

Yorkshire Glory⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 61| CD

6/5

Thrived on all-weather this winter, registering a sixth victory since December when making all over C&D 6 days ago (5 wins coming here). Escapes a penalty for that and he should take all the beating once more.

Form: 413111

On Key²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 57

50/1

Yet to win in 12 starts and has yet to threaten in 2 outings since joining present stable. Passed over despite tumbling mark.

Form: 46570-7

Invitorio¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| D

18/1

Sole success to date came in novice company as a juvenile but he did post good placed efforts for present yard over C&D in September. Not at quite same level in the autumn and he now returns from a 5-month break.

Form: 692367-

Spun To Gold¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56| CD

11/1

Completed an all-weather hat-trick in the autumn, with 2 of those victories coming over C&D. Best effort since when runner up here in February and whilst his exploits either side haven't been at the same level, he's now 2 lb below last winning mark.

Form: 696-725

(4)

Asadjumeirah^p,t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 53| CD

11/1

Five-time C&D winner who finished to good effect when finishing second here in February but no better than midfield either outing since, latterly when sixth behind Yorkshire Glory over C&D 6 days ago. Well run race would aid his cause.

Form: 8-43266

(9)

Big Gypsy King^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: James Moffatt| OR: 51

125/1

Sole win came at Chelmsford over 7f last spring but little promise pair of juvenile hurdles for new yard and no better returned to the Flat since the turn of the year.

Form: 3170-98

Forecasts

Yorkshire Glory (6/5), Raft Up (10/3), Harb (5/1), Spun To Gold (11/1), Asadjumeirah (11/1), Brian The Snail (16/1), Invitorio (18/1), Blackjack (25/1), On Key (50/1), Big Gypsy King (125/1)

YORKSHIRE GLORY has gone from strength to strength on all-weather this winter, registering a sixth success since December (five over this C&D) 6 days ago. He looks to hold solid claims and may well be up to going in again. Raft Up meets the selection on much more favourable terms than when the pair last met, so needs considering also. Harb completes the shortlist.
