Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Handicap

(6)

Al Durry¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 80

6/4

Progressed with each start as a 3-y-o, culminating in 1m maiden win after 5 months off at Southwell in October. Returns from another absence for her handicap debut and is open to further improvement.

Form: 321-

(1)

Tribal Wisdom^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 79| CD

12/1

Won 3 times towards the end of last year and soon left behind a lesser effort when second of 11 at Southwell in February. Not ideally placed on both subsequent starts so is quite probably in better heart than recent form figures suggest.

Form: 459265

(4)

Arcturus Flame¹¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 77

2/1

Promising start for new connections, finishing an extremely close third of 11 in a handicap at Kempton in December. Unexposed on all-weather and is of interest back from a break.

Form: 225263-

(10)

Criminal¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Hoodless⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 76

10/1

Plenty of promise last year but yet to fire since returning from a break, forced wide throughout when ninth of 12 at this C&D (11/1) 10 days ago. Handicapper eases his grip and an inexperienced apprentice takes over.

Form: 4233-79

(8)

Patrol¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Egan| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 76| C

9/1

Ran to his best on all-weather when third of 10 over 1½m here in October but struggled to get competitive next 3 starts, too lit up early when fifth of 10 over 1¾m when last seen the following month. Now back down significantly in trip for his return (hood discarded).

Form: 553775-

(3)

Dawn Of Liberation¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75

33/1

Had a good spell at the start of last summer but rather went off the boil. Handicapper given him a chance if ready to roll on return.

Form: 233767-

(12)

Lordsbridge Blu^t¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Woods| OR: 74| CD

8/1

Exploited a reduced mark to land his first handicap at Lingfield (4/1) in November, grabbing the initiative with an opportunistic move before the straight. Should remain competitive from 3 lb higher provided he's fully tuned up (was lame on return last season).

Form: 534091-

(11)

Serious Look²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Racked up his fourth course success with a career best on return from 9 weeks off here earlier in the month, nailing one that set a modest pace on the line. 3 lb rise shouldn't prove insurmountable.

Form: 17262-1

(13)

Nedita³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

50/1

Ran no sort of race on return/yard debut at Southwell last month.

Form: 50980-0

(5)

Boubyan^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 67

11/1

Patchy form since joining this yard but returned to form to win a muddling event here over 1¼m at Newcastle earlier in the month. Backed up that effort returned to 1m when fifth of 11 there 9 days ago so certainly not out of things.

Form: 85-6715

(9)

Ernie's Valentine¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Phoebe Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: R Burdon| OR: 67| BF| CD

20/1

Failed to meet market expectations when fourth of 9 here 10 days ago, keeping on having been forced wide entering straight. Below last winning mark though and not one to write off.

Form: 525584

(2)

Annexation¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-5| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

66/1

Won back to back over 1¼m on turf last autumn but hasn't really threatened on all-weather in recent months.

Form: 9-95565

Non-Runners

(7)

King's Hand¹²

Weight: 8-12| Age: 4

T: J Parr J: L Morris

Forecasts

Al Durry (9/4), Arcturus Flame (6/1), Lordsbridge Blu (13/2), Serious Look (7/1), King's Hand (8/1), Ernie's Valentine (12/1), Tribal Wisdom (12/1), Patrol (14/1), Boubyan (14/1), Criminal (20/1), Annexation (25/1), Dawn Of Liberation (25/1), Nedita (33/1)

AL DURRY took another step forward when opening her account at Southwell in October and with further progress on the cards, Owen Burrows' 4-y-o gets the nod to make a winning handicap debut at the expense of Serious Look, who racked up his fourth course success with a career best on return 4 weeks ago. Arcturus Flame and Boubyan are another couple worth considering, too.
