Haaland^p⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 73| BF| C

3/1

Course winner. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (15.8f, AW, 2/1) 73 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces back on. Not out of things.

Form: 6575-35

Poncho^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 71| C

4/1

Course winner. Winner here in December. 18/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (15.8f, AW) 32 days ago, slowly away. Others have achieved more.

Form: 4521-64

Upepo⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70| CD

7/2

Three wins from 12 runs last year and back on the scoresheet in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in February. Posted good third, off 4 lb higher, over same C&D since and is likely to be in the mix again here.

Form: 31-6313

Dance Time³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 68

5/1

Back to winning ways at Southwell (16.5f) in December and run creditably in defeat since, latest when second of 9 in handicap at same course (14.1f) 31 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely player on polytrack debut.

Form: 1331-32

Wannabe Brave^b⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 67| C

10/3

Scored 4 times last year and only narrowly failed to make a winning start to 2025 at Wolverhampton (14f) 8 days ago. Entitled to build on that (first run for 6 months) and holds strong claims.

Form: 35212-2

(6)

Alright Sunshine^v²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 67

22/1

Unreliable individual. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 21 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 742R59

Forecasts

Haaland (3/1), Wannabe Brave (10/3), Upepo (7/2), Poncho (4/1), Dance Time (5/1), Alright Sunshine (22/1)

WANNABE BRAVE was just foiled on his return at Wolverhampton last week and can race off the same mark here. He looks the one to beat. Dance Time rates the principal danger.
