Make The Move To Midnite Handicap

Off time: 17:18 | Winning time: 3m 34.20s

(1)

Sneaky Blinder^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 58

14/1

Enhanced fine Kempton record when just holding on to land a 7-runner handicap last time, though a 2 lb rise may just leave him vulnerable.

Form: 319-271

(4)

The Craftymaster^p⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| BF| CD

6/1

Under a penalty for his Chelmsford win, wasn't in the same form when last of 5 in handicap at Newcastle latest, and this again may not be run to suit.

Form: 74-4315

(9)

Jack Langley^h⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 60| BF| C

3/1

Three-time course winner underlined his consistency when fourth of 12 in 1½m handicap here in January, though he could have a bit more to offer tackling 2m for the first time at his favoured track.

Form: 5131-24

(2)

The Corporate Guy^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 60

11/1

Lightly-raced Ghaiyyath gelding ran well when third at Wolverhampton (1½m) before disappointing at Southwell. Tendency to race freely somewhat tempers confidence, though he should get plenty of cover and is a player if settling.

Form: 860-630

(11)

Forglen^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 57| CD

11/4

Thriving sort was well backed to make it 3 wins from 4 starts at Southwell last time, winning in a manner that suggests he can overcome a 3 lb rise.

Form: 4-61211

(7)

Charles Morin¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: P Phelan| OR: 54

6/1

Ran as well as he has on Flat in this country when close second over 1½m here before a creditable fourth in Plumpton novice handicap hurdle last time. Up slightly in grade on return to the level.

Form: 6/423-42

(10)

Balgowan¹⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 54| D

12/1

Shaped as if back in form when fourth of 9 at Southwell in October, though probably booked for minor honours returning from over 5 months off.

Form: 163374-

(3)

Sullivan Bay^v²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 54| D

16/1

Shade unlucky not to win when second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City latest, though he's 2 lb higher for that narrow miss and both previous successes have come at the aforementioned track.

Form: 3350-42

(6)

Izakaya^h1¹⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: C Poulton| OR: 53| D

40/1

On the up when landing a double on turf in the autumn, though clearly isn't the most straightforward (hood goes on first time), refusing to line up for her intended hurdling debut before falling 3 out at Fontwell in December.

Form: 450511-

(12)

Fornido¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 50

10/1

Went close over C&D in January and again ran creditably when 2 lengths fourth behind Forglen at Southwell last time. Isn't fully exposed over 2m and needs considering.

Form: 19-9244

(5)

High Favour^h1⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: C Poulton| OR: 47

66/1

Has gone backwards since stable debut and hopes pinned on marked step up in trip (wears first-time hood).

Form: 067/5-00

Forecasts

Forglen (11/4), Jack Langley (3/1), The Craftymaster (6/1), Charles Morin (6/1), Fornido (10/1), The Corporate Guy (11/1), Balgowan (12/1), Sneaky Blinder (14/1), Sullivan Bay (16/1), Alex The Great (33/1), Izakaya (40/1), High Favour (66/1)

FORGLEN won with a bit up his sleeve last time and can land the hat-trick. Unexposed The Corporate Guy merits consideration, along with course specialist Jack Langley.
