Kondratiev Wave^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

6/4

Gained reward for a run of good efforts in 7-runner handicap over C&D 28 days ago, joined post. A likely player nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 3-36231

(7)

Global Warning⁴³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Butler| OR: 54| CD

5/2

Veteran C&D winner who turned in his best effort of the season when close second over C&D last month, unlucky not to win having been caught further back than ideal. That form has been franked and he can gain compensation off just a 2 lb higher mark.

Form: 755-742

(3)

Fort Augustus²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Wallis| OR: 54

15/2

Is 0-16 but he posted a very good second of 7 in handicap over C&D 28 days ago. Considered.

Form: 98-5742

(2)

Alashos^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: C Gordon| OR: 53

14/1

It's now 19 runs since his last win in 2024 but he got back on track when fourth of 12 in 6f handicap at Kempton 21 days ago. Not out of things from an unchanged mark.

Form: 554-544

(1)

Semser^b³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52| C

18/1

Temperamental sort who ran one of his better races when second of 8 in 1m handicap at Chelmsford City 32 days ago. This course winner is in the mix if on another going day in a change of headgear.

Form: 368-362

(9)

Blue Collar Lad¹⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁵⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 51| C| D

40/1

Course winner who was in good form until only sixth of 9 in 1m handicap at Bath in October. Needs to hit the ground running after a layoff.

Form: 346336-

(5)

Raqraaq^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 50| C

7/1

Course winner but he comes here under something of a cloud, just sixth of 8 in 1m handicap at Kempton 23 days ago. Needs a headgear change to spark a resurgence.

Form: 57387-6

(6)

Twitch^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 47| D

17/2

On a losing sequence but he got back on track after 5 months off when third of 11 in 7f classified event at Kempton 21 days ago. Needs to back it up reverted to handicap company now.

Form: 34080-3

(4)

Tilsworth Silver²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonny Peate| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

150/1

Remains a maiden after 16 runs and he came in only tenth of 11 in 7f classified event at Kempton 21 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 5075-90

Forecasts

Kondratiev Wave (6/4), Global Warning (5/2), Raqraaq (7/1), Fort Augustus (15/2), Twitch (17/2), Alashos (14/1), Semser (18/1), Blue Collar Lad (40/1), Tilsworth Silver (150/1)

John Butler has his string in good nick and his veteran GLOBAL WARNING signalled he is ready to strike again when an unlucky-in-running second over C&D last time. He is weighted to go one better now at the chief expense of Kondratiev Wave, who dead-heated over C&D recently. In-form duo Alashos and Fort Augustus can also have a say.
