Shine On Brendan^b¹⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 68| C| D

20/1

Course winner who finished last season in fine form, running out a cosy winner at Hamilton (8.3f) in September before following up narrowly at Ayr (1m) a month later. Nudged up just 2 lb ahead of return but he'll likely need his share of luck operating from the widest berth of all.

Dawn Of Liberation^p⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 68| D

13/2

Losing run stretches back to his 3-y-o days with Richard Hannon and, despite an easing mark, he hasn't been shaping like ready to capitalize, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 55 days ago. Return to turf needs to have a positive effect now.

Form: 5556-80

Detective¹³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 68| D

22/1

Bounced back to best to capitalise on reduced mark in refitted blinkers back at his beloved Carlisle (6.9f) in August. However, struggled for consistency thereafter, pulled up on a rare start over hurdles in November. Others make stronger appeal on seasonal return.

Form: 519949-

Spun To Gold¹⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 67

22/1

AW winner at 2yrs who ended his time with Andrew Balding in good form early on last season. Gelded thereafter and seemingly finding his way in handful of starts on turf/AW during the autumn. Begins new campaign potentially well treated, so one to note operating from a handy draw.

Form: 380040-

Jesmond Dawn¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| D

13/2

Found a little more improvement when doubling his tally at Ripon (1m) in August. Revised mark enough to anchor him when third over C&D next time but seemingly found stamina stretched when eighth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m) on final start. This more suitable.

Form: 347138-

(13)

Lucykeys²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 67

50/1

Gleneagles filly who showed fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in maidens (both on AW). However, handed a stiff-looking mark and well-beaten in pair of 1¼m Ayr handicaps thereafter last summer. Drops in trip on this return from 6 months off but watching brief probably the best call.

Form: 32487-

Between Me And U^t¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hector Crouch| T: M Herrington| OR: 67| DWS

11/2

Switched yards/undergone wind surgery prior to make a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in September. Good efforts next 3 starts before a lesser run when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) in December. Had a second wind op ahead of this and not ruled out.

Form: 912450-

Swift Salian^h¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 66| D

8/1

1m winner as a juvenile who didn't get his head in front last season but plenty of creditable efforts, fourth in 8-runner C&D handicap in October. Resumes in refitted hood operating from career-low mark so worth a second look.

Form: 337394-

(12)

Code Purple²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam| OR: 66| C

9/1

3-time course winner who enhanced his excellent record here when runner-up in pair of handicaps at up to this trip in the autumn. Too free in 2 hurdle runs during the winter but latest seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago ought to have blown the cobwebs away. Worth a look.

Form: 31722-7

Izzari¹²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| BF

16/1

Returned to the form he displayed in maidens in Ireland when opening his account for present yard in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) in December. Disappointed at Southwell later that month but he returns boasting a less exposed profile than most.

Form: 689617-

(5)

Bulmer Bank^h²³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| BF

8/1

Maiden who has pulled hard but plenty of good efforts in handicaps at 3 yrs, including when runner-up at Newcastle (7f) last June. Absent since a below-par run at Catterick (7f) in August but he appeals as being on a workable mark and a strong pace to aim at will help.

Form: 7/43320-

Rainwater^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

6/1

Shed maiden tag at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November and made the frame all 5 starts since on all-weather. Ran too bad to be true back on turf when last of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 15 days ago but he appeals as the type to bounce back. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 423-240

(2)

English Spirit³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main| OR: 65| BF

7/1

All 5 career victories gained at Wolverhampton, the latest over 9.5f in October. Good placed efforts on first 2 starts this year prior to racing too freely when sixth of 7 in handicap there 32 days ago. Still, he's no forlorn hope back on turf.

Form: 167-236

Forecasts

Between Me And U (11/2), Rainwater (6/1), Jesmond Dawn (13/2), Dawn Of Liberation (13/2), English Spirit (7/1), Swift Salian (8/1), Bulmer Bank (8/1), Volenti (8/1), Code Purple (9/1), Izzari (16/1), Shine On Brendan (20/1), Detective (22/1), Spun To Gold (22/1), Lucykeys (50/1)

RAINWATER clearly wasn't himself when well-beaten at Doncaster a couple of weeks ago, yet he'd previously been holding his form well on synthetics and could be worth chancing to quickly put that run behind him from a handy draw/in refitted cheekpieces. Bulmer Bank, provided he settles better than was the case last year, Code Purple, who boasts an excellent record here, and Spun To Gold head up the dangers. Swift Salian completes an exhaustive shortlist.
