Goyard²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

15/2

£115,000 Mehmas gelding who won back-to-back races at Ripon but looked too high in the weights in a pair of handicaps last autumn. Handily drawn for one with his style, though.

Hiya Maite¹⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 81| BF| D

11/1

On a long losing sequence but he has a solid record in class 4 company, latterly when beaten by less than a length at Southwell in early-January, having arguably gone off a shade too hard.

Form: 62662-4

Lethal Nymph⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| D

2/1

Back on the same mark as when winning a similar event to this at Doncaster last September. Shaped better than beaten distance when a well-backed fifth in a big-field York handicap last time and with the drop back in trip set to suit, he can open his account for the season.

Reigning Profit^v²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 78| CD

17/2

4-time C&D winner probably found the race coming too soon when well held in a better race at York last time and should be more competitive on the back of a 4-week break.

Squealer^p1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 76| D

10/1

Isn't the easiest to win with and again hindered his chance at the start when fifth of 9 in a higher grade at Doncaster latest. First-time cheekpieces could sharpen him up, though, and he's undoubtedly well treated on last season's form.

Form: 00-6905

Ventura Express³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| CD

8/1

4-time C&D winner who extended a long losing run when fourth of 10 in a class 5 C&D handicap last time, however, he remains on a handy mark and should find this run to suit.

Form: 0-63544

D Flawless^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73

9/1

Wore first-time hood when landing first success for current yard at Newcastle. Ran respectably in her follow-up bid when fourth over 6f here following a 10-week break, though yard's other runners better fancied.

Form: 07-3614

Equity Law^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| BF| D

5/1

A winner twice in slightly lower grades last year, he bounced right back to form when runner-up in softer-than-ideal conditions at Catterick and makes appeal from 3 lb below his latest successful mark.

Form: 633602

South Parade¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 63| D

16/1

Made a slow start to this year but she wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 7 at Hamilton on her latest start (raced solo) and has fallen a long way in the weights since winning in similar company at Thirsk last summer.

Form: 9-00074

Forecasts

Lethal Nymph (2/1), Equity Law (5/1), Goyard (15/2), Ventura Express (8/1), Reigning Profit (17/2), D Flawless (9/1), Squealer (10/1), Hiya Maite (11/1), Dakota Gold (12/1), South Parade (16/1)

A wide-open event that could set up perfectly for LETHAL NYMPH and Ventura Express, who may well land a 1-2 for the Paul Midgley yard. First-time cheekpieces are added in a bid to remedy Squealer's tardy starts, and he's dangerously well handicapped, while Equity Law is expected to go well from stall 1.
