5/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Good fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Has good chance on form.

Form: 53-9174

(5)

Mr Mistoffelees²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: S England| OR: 74| D

7/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt once again.

Form: 3400-33

(3)

Overnight Oats⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Hector Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 73| CD

7/2

C&D winner in February. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 8 days ago, slowly away. Will probably need to come down the weights a bit before adding to his tally.

Form: 512185

(8)

Etretat⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 72| BF| D

14/1

Latest win at Lingfield in January. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 6 days ago. Opposable from a win point of view.

Form: 32-1386

(2)

Shaw Park¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| C

20/1

Three wins from 23 runs last year. 9/2, won 12-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 10 days ago, well positioned. More needed under a penalty this time.

Form: 588-521

(4)

Yeoman^v³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 69| BF

6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1) 34 days ago, left poorly placed. One to consider.

Form: 523-343

(7)

Wilde And Dandy²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 68| C

17/2

Course winner in December. 13/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 20 days ago, slowly away. Each-way chance.

Form: 3132-72

(1)

Visibility³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: S Dixon| OR: 62| BF| CD

25/1

Tricky customer. C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 3 days ago. Will be a danger to all if on-song.

Form: 73-8654

(6)

Down To The Kid³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Farragher| T: M Herrington| OR: 59| C

25/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Second of 10 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 36 days ago, no match for winner. Couldn't be entirely sure that he'll back that effort up.

Form: 755/0-02

Forecasts

Mr Mistoffelees (7/4), Overnight Oats (7/2), Commander Of Life (5/1), Yeoman (6/1), Wilde And Dandy (17/2), Etretat (14/1), Shaw Park (20/1), Down To The Kid (25/1), Visibility (25/1)

This looks pretty open and preference is for COMMANDER OF LIFE, who put in a good shift when fourth over C&D off a 1 lb higher mark last month. Mr Mistoffelees deserves to get his head in front following a couple of solid placed efforts and he is expected to offer stren resistance, while Visibility looks the pick of the two trained by Scott Dixon and he also enters calculations, along with Yeoman.
