Yorkshire Glory⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 66| CD

6/4

Topped off a remarkable winter when recording an eighth win of the campaign at Wolverhampton 4 days ago, seeing off another prolific rival. Penalty negated by return of 7-lb claimer and he's not taken lightly.

Cayman Tai⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

7/1

Yet to win a handicap but dropped to this level he was runner-up over 5f at Lingfield last month. Hasn't built on that in 2 subsequent outings, though seemed unsuited by step up to 7f when mid-field back at Lingfield a week ago.

Form: 3-67255

Fan Mail¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| CD

11/1

C&D maiden winner in early 2025 and doubled his tally in handicap at Southwell in October. However, after an encouraging reappearance this year he's been below form over C&D last 2 starts.

Form: 516-477

Qazaq^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: I Jardine| OR: 68| BF

18/1

Best effort for current yard when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f) last month. However, added to his up and down profile when eighth of 11 over the same C&D 13 days ago. Tongue strap left off last time now reapplied for first try at 6f.

Form: 8-96838

(9)

Water Of Leith¹¹^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 63| CD

9/2

Made the frame for 8 successive starts before taking advantage of his reduced mark at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, scoring by 3 lengths. 3 lb well-in under a penalty and can make a bold bid to follow up.

Form: 442231

Kitaab³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 61| CD

50/1

Absent 12 months prior to this year and step back in the right direction when never-nearer fourth of 9 at Southwell (5f) in February. Had promised to be suited by step back up in trip but shaped as if amiss when well held over C&D last time.

Form: 27-9840

(3)

Mayo County^p⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 61| CD

14/1

Successful over C&D on first of 2 victories last year and runner-up back here in December. Third at Southwell next time, though lesser effort when fifth of 10 at this course 6 weeks ago. Consistent enough on the whole so could bounce back.

Form: 5002-35

(8)

Pit Boss^b,t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 58| CD

10/3

Hold-up performer who has won twice over C&D this year, overcoming a very slow start in 8-runner apprentice event 6 days ago. Needs to be delivered perfectly given his run style, but he gets to run off the same mark as last time.

Form: 122331

(2)

Invitorio¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54| D

50/1

Sole success came in novice company as a juvenile but placed twice in handicaps over C&D for current yard in September. Ended the year on a low-key note, though shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off here 15 days ago.

Form: 92367-8

Forecasts

Yorkshire Glory (6/4), Pit Boss (10/3), Water Of Leith (9/2), Cayman Tai (7/1), Fan Mail (11/1), Mayo County (14/1), Qazaq (18/1), Kitaab (50/1), Invitorio (50/1)

Preference is for WATER OF LEITH, who gained reward for his consistency when recording a convincing success at Wolverhampton last time. He remains well treated on old form and is taken to see off the challenge of Yorkshire Glory, who has to be respected in his bid for a 6-timer, while Pit Boss is another who arrives in good heart.
