Local Derby²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Dylan Johnston| T: C Gordon| OR: 99

5/4

Expensive point winner who quickly put his Fontwell mishap behind him when making it wins from last 3 starts in big-field Exeter handicap (23f) 3 weeks ago, proving well suited by the step up in trip. Big player up 6 lb with prospect of more to come.

Form: 5891U1

Barrow Ranger⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Paddy Hanlon| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 96

20/1

Irish raider who has tasted success in points but hasn't offered much in trio of chase tries and failed to make an impact in handicap hurdles earlier this term. Present mark demands improvement.

All Authorized^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Freddie Mitchell| T: G & J Moore| OR: 94| CD

6/1

Back to his best when winning over C&D 12 months ago but rather underwhelming over both sets of obstacles subsequently, failing to build on remote promise of his penultimate Fontwell third when distant fourth returned to this C&D 4 weeks ago. Mark continues to ease at least.

Form: 1-95F34

The Wise Traveller⁹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Gambin⁽⁸⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 94| CD

9/1

Well prepared after 5 months off when running out 25/1 winner of a C&D handicap in September. Efforts have been indifferent since, well held switched back to front-running tactics at Catterick (25.3f) on New Year's Day. Freshened up ahead of this.

Form: 5-14777

Mild Magic⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 80

2/1

Little impact in maiden/novice hurdles but made more impact than previously on second start in handicaps (well backed) when third over extended 2½m here 6 weeks ago. Longer trip could well see her do better again and worth a second look.

Form: 2-85943

Hilltown^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Macey| T: J W Mullins| OR: 69| CD

14/1

Hurdles/chase winner earlier in career but out of sorts over both sets of obstacles since returning from a lengthy absence. Passed over from out of the weights.

Form: U/P3P5P

Forecasts

Local Derby (5/4), Mild Magic (2/1), Lola De Magny (9/2), All Authorized (6/1), The Wise Traveller (9/1), Hilltown (14/1), Barrow Ranger (20/1)

LOCAL DERBY quickly put his Fontwell mishap behind him when going in again at Exeter 3 weeks ago, in the process looking well suited by the step up to a staying trip. Chris Gordon's 6-y-o appeals as the type to go on progressing in handicaps and earns the vote to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. Mild Magic on the back of her third over shorter here 6 weeks ago and handicap debutante Lola de Magny may emerge as the chief threats.
