Jersey Maverick^v¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 75| D

11/1

Shed maiden tag at Epsom (7f) in July and ended last season in good form, posting best effort yet when second in a C&D handicap in October. Big player with a repeat on return.

Form: 519542-

King Of Ithaca²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Tate| OR: 75| CD

33/1

C&D winner who signed off 2025 with success at Southwell (7f) in December. Exploits mixed in 3 outings at that venue since the turn of the year though, and difficult draw to contend with on this occasion.

Form: 631-645

State Of Madness⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 75

13/2

Three-time winner on turf/all-weather upon joining Charlie Clover and ended time with that stable at the top of his game, runner up at Southwell (6f) in February. Seemed tapped for toe at a crucial stage when fifth for new yard here (6f) latest and now tries 7f for the first time.

Form: 214-325

The Bitter Moose¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 74| D

14/1

Had plenty in his favour when winning 7-runner handicap at Epsom (7f) in August and seen to nothing like same advantage again ridden positively when last of 17 in handicap at Ascot (7f) in October. This less demanding on return.

Form: 242210-

Atmosphere^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Spencer| OR: 73| CD

11/8

C&D scorer who resumed winning ways over 1m here in October and placed all 3 starts since, latterly when second over same C&D 3 weeks ago. Fully expected to make his presence felt again under Oisin Murphy.

Form: 3813-32

Ash Wednesday^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: H Main| OR: 73| D

13/2

Had an excellent spell on all-weather last year, winning 6 times over 7f from January to April. Steadily regained full fitness since returning to action, finishing good second at Southwell (7f) 18 days ago. Merits consideration having slipped below last winning mark.

Form: 040-852

Dancing Terror^b1,h1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 73| D

50/1

Made a winning debut at Lingfield in December 2024 and progressed from that effort when second to a big improver in 7f novice back there 14 months ago. However, offered little following another spell on the sidelines 55 days ago. Blinkers/hood reached for.

Form: 1/2-0

(8)

Arantes Nascimento²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 71| D

11/1

Runner-up on 4 consecutive occasions in handicaps at this trip prior to finishing seventh at Kempton (1m) 3 weeks ago. However, in the firing line for a long way then to suggest he remains in form and return to 7f can see him to better effect.

Form: 52-2227

Margorie¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68

50/1

Much improved when off the mark at third attempt in a Windsor novice (6f) in September but not in same form on handicap debut over 1m here a month later. May be worth a try at this trip given how she shaped then.

Form: 6510-

(3)

Tattie Bogle⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 66

7/2

Just a maiden win to his name but mark has steadily eased and he came forward from his reappearance when edged out close home over C&D 9 days ago. Definite claims from same mark.

Form: 3373-42

(11)

Miss Chester⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 57| CD

50/1

Fair form when off the mark at second attempt in a C&D maiden last spring but hasn't cut any ice in handicaps, again tame in the finish when eighth over 1m here 6 weeks ago.

Form: 4800-08

(2)

Nubough^t⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: M Pattinson| OR: 56| D

66/1

Veteran who tasted success twice over 6/7f this time last year and returned to form from out of the blue when runner up at Lingfield in January. However, not the easiest to predict and he was below that level returned to 6f there latest.

Form: 1750-26

Forecasts

Atmosphere (11/8), Tattie Bogle (7/2), Ash Wednesday (13/2), State Of Madness (13/2), Arantes Nascimento (11/1), Jersey Maverick (11/1), The Bitter Moose (14/1), King Of Ithaca (33/1), Miss Chester (50/1), Margorie (50/1), Dancing Terror (50/1), Nubough (66/1)

TATTIE BOGLE went as close as he ever has to breaking his duck in handicaps when going down fighting over C&D 9 days ago and a repeat should see him bang there once more from a handy draw in stall 3. Atmosphere, Ash Wednesday and Jersey Maverick are a trio of other key players.
