Sant Alessio²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: C R Lyons| T: J Tickle| OR: 64| CD

4/1

Ended 2025 with success over this C&D in November. Yet to win this year but stepped forward from his recent run when fourth of 10 here (9.5f) 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt back down in grade.

Symphony Of Joy^t⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ben Pollard⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 64

9/1

Belatedly matched debut form when third of 13 in handicap here (9.5f) in July, helped by getting a soft lead. Hasn't repeated that effort in 2 subsequent outings, not looking entirely straightforward when third of 5 at Yarmouth last time. Tongue strap back on.

Dappled Light^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Molly Keegan-Price⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 62| CD

18/1

Course winner who recorded back-to-back victories at Bath earlier this year. Below form last 3 starts but his mark has at least eased ahead of his first all-weather run of the year.

Bajan Bandit^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Hope Regan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 61

10/3

Took advantage of his career-low mark when scoring at Newcastle in September. Has run well at the same course both starts since, second in 12-runner contest a week ago, and he could be thereabouts once more.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cara Tuke| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

11/1

Won 7f Southwell nursery in November last year but hasn't fired this season, ninth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m) 11 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights though has enough to prove at present.

Eighty Eight²²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Oliver Hoodless⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 52| BF| D

5/2

From his reduced mark, placed at Dundalk (10.5f) on first 2 starts this year, before going off too hard tried in cheekpieces when down the field at the same course in March. Off 7 months since but looks very interesting on first run since leaving J. J. Feane.

Form: 008-339

Venturing^t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Bradnam| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

33/1

Upped in trip and fitted with tongue strap, produced his most encouraging effort to date when fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 5 weeks ago. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Form: 9-44874

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Isobelle Chalmers| T: J R Boyle| OR: 50

Thomas Tallis²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Finlay Bassett⁽⁷⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 45

28/1

Showed more than previously making handicap debut when third at Southwell in August. Excuses over this C&D next time but ran poorly here on latest outing.

Form: 70-7390

Forecasts

Eighty Eight (5/2), Bajan Bandit (10/3), Sant Alessio (4/1), Harry The Rogue (15/2), Symphony Of Joy (9/1), Boy Named Sioux (11/1), Dappled Light (18/1), Bennyworth (22/1), Thomas Tallis (28/1), Venturing (33/1)

EIGHTY EIGHT placed twice from 3 starts at Dundalk early this year and has dropped to a career-low mark ahead of joining a yard which has a good record with new recruits. He is taken to get back to winning ways, at the chief expense of Bajan Bandit who arrives in good form, while Sant Alessio could also be in the mix.
