Diamond Dreamer^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P R Chamings| OR: 67| CD

7/2

C&D winner last March. Has drawn a blank in 12 starts since but performed with credit when second of 5 at Lingfield (5f) 21 days ago. Will be competitive if showing up in similar form.

Form: 069-432

Initial Blue^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Doughty| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 63| C

7/1

Reacted well to blinkers when making all with ease at Kempton (6f) last month. Creditable third at Wolverhampton on his 2 outings since. The drop to the minimum trip shouldn't inconvenience him but the outside stall might.

Clover Time^p⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: M Appleby| OR: 61| BF

11/8

Runner-up 5 times over 6f on AW since September. Not in quite the same form when sixth of 11 at Southwell last time but capable of bouncing back with the return to 5f probably in the favour of one who possesses plenty of speed.

Form: 2222-26

Skellig Isle¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: P J McBride| OR: 59| D

12/1

Turf maiden winner as a juvenile but drew a blank in 8 subsequent handicap starts for Tom Ward. Returns from 6 months off under the care of a new trainer. Worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 060470-

Bang On The Bell^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 59| CD

18/5

C&D winner. Hasn't obviously been threatening to add to his tally this winter but his mark continues to fall and the return to 5f should be in his favour.

Form: 867-878

Manhattan Chute²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Finley Marsh| T: J & S Best| OR: 57| D

50/1

Sprung a 50/1 surprise at Lingfield (5f) in January but hasn't beaten a rival in his 3 outings since. Hard to know what to expect.

Forecasts

Clover Time (11/8), Diamond Dreamer (7/2), Bang On The Bell (18/5), Initial Blue (7/1), Cabeza De Llave (8/1), Skellig Isle (12/1), Fiorella Princess (12/1), Manhattan Chute (50/1)

CLOVER TIME has been leaving the impression he may benefit from a drop back to 5f and is selected to take full advantage of the inside stall. C&D specialist Cabeza de Llave can give Mick Appleby's charge most to do ahead of Diamond Dreamer.
